ROAD SAFETY INFORMATION
Road traffic laws, the Highway Code and traffic conditions must be observed and respected at all times and take precedence over any instructions or directions given by your
Gizmondo Navigator GPS Navigation system.
You are responsible for controlling your vehicle (or other means of transport) and you MUST exercise proper control of your vehicle (or other means of transport) at ALL times. For
safety reasons it is important that you key in your destination and set up your trip on your Gizmondo Navigator GPS Navigation system whilst your vehicle (or other means of
transport) is stationary BEFORE starting your journey.
Do NOT handle your Gizmondo Navigator GPS Navigation system whilst driving or supervising a provisional driving licence holder. Do NOT attempt to operate, adjust or view your
Gizmondo Navigator GPS Navigation system if it will distract your attention while you are driving. If necessary, find a safe place to stop first.
Handling, operating, adjusting or viewing your Gizmondo Navigator GPS Navigation system while you are driving is illegal in many territories. It is important to understand and comply
with local traffic laws if travelling outside of the UK.
HEALTH WARNING
Take a break of around 10-15 minutes for every hour you actively use your Gizmondo™ device, even if you feel that you don't need it. Using handheld consoles also carries the risk of
such conditions as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, tendonitis and skin irritation. If your hands, wrists or arms become tired or sore while using your Gizmondo™ device, stop and rest for a
few hours. If symptoms continue during or after use, stop and consult a doctor as soon as possible.
To avoid eyestrain, use your Gizmondo™ device in reasonably lit areas, and hold your console at a reasonable distance from your eyes. We also advise against using your console
when overly tired or suffering from a lack of sleep.
Please note that using handheld consoles can lead to motion sickness, so if you experience any nausea or dizziness while using your console, stop and take a rest. Do not drive,
operate machinery or engage in any similar mentally demanding activity until you are fully recovered.
IMPORTANT
Using handheld consoles causes a very small number of people to experience 'photosensitive epileptic seizures', the result of flashing lights or patterns present in many applications.
You may even be at risk even if you have never suffered symptoms before. If you or a close relative have a diagnosed epileptic condition, consult your doctor before using your
Gizmondo™ device. Similarly, if you experience any symptoms of epilepsy while using your Gizmondo™ device, you should stop IMMEDIATELY and visit a doctor as soon as
possible. Symptoms include any of the following: dizziness, altered vision, twitching in the eyes or face, other involuntary movement, loss of awareness of your surroundings,
disorientation and convulsions.
