where you purchased it or our Customer Support Center to exchange with another

(6) Cautions about GPS
1. If the Product is used for the first time, or has not been used for a long-time (3
days or more), it may take a long time to search the current location (initial
reception time).
2. The reception of GPS signal may drop by the effects of climate such as rain and
fog or the interference of electromagnetic wave due to its nature
3. Note that the proper temperature for GPS receiver’s function is 0~60˚C. In a hot
summer or cold winter day, the temperature inside the car is higher or lower than
the outside temperature. Therefore, take care that the proper temperature is
maintained for GPS receiver.
4. Reception condition may be poor under the overpass, tunnel, or in the buildings

7
congested area because of reception hindrance
5. In some vehicles with special glass coating or sun-proof coating on the windows,
GPS receiver may not function in a normal condition due to unstable reception. And
also the electromagnetic wave emanating from the various vehicle instruments may
cause such problems.
6. In vicinity of tall buildings or high voltage power cables, the signal may become
weaker or interrupted.
7. If the vehicle moves while GPS reception is not good, it may take more time to
search the current location than standstill state.
