Operating Environment
External Influences
Do not allow objects to drop onto the device from above.
Do not place objects on top of the device or rub the screen with abrasive
materials or objects such as car keys etc.
Do not drop the device.
Do not use sharp or abrasive objects to operate the touch screen other than the
stylus designed for this purpose.
Avoid prolonged use in high vibration and high shock environments.
Do not carry / transport flammable liquids, gases or explosives in the same
compartment as the device and its accessories.
Wireless devices can interfere with the reception of satellite signals causing
unstable signal reception.
Some car audio systems can cause interference with the device.
GPS
GPS signals are produced and monitored by the United States government, who
are solely responsible for the availability and accuracy of the system.
GPS Satellite signals do not penetrate solid objects (apart from glass) and,
therefore will not operate from within a building unless an external re-radiating
GPS antenna is fitted.
GPS signal reception may be impaired by dense obstacles above the ground such
as tall buildings, trees, or extremely bad weather.
In order to operate efficiently, the Hema HN6 NAVIGATOR should be positioned
with a view to the open sky (through glass is acceptable).
Glass with a metallic film, as fitted on some vehicles, may impair the GPS signal.
Temperature
Do not leave your Hema HN6 NAVIGATOR lying or mounted on your dashboard
where it will be exposed to extreme temperature conditions which can result in
malfunctions and/or dangerous situations. The device may be operated in a
temperature range of -20°C ~ 55°C or stored in a temperature range of -20°C ~
35°C.
Keep the device away from excessive moisture. The device should be used in an
atmospheric humidity of 45% ~ 80% non-condensed and stored in an
atmospheric humidity of 30% ~ 90% non-condensed.
Do not expose the device to sudden and extreme temperature fluctuations. This
may result in condensation forming within the device causing malfunction or
failure. When condensation forms, wait for the device to completely dry out
before operating.

Safety while Operating the Device
Failure to adhere to the following guidelines may result in potentially hazardous
situations and result in serious injury or even death.
Never operate/interact with the device while you are driving.
National road traffic regulations and local traffic conditions always take
precedence over the instructions given by any navigation device.
Do not install the navigation device in such a manner as to obstruct the driver's
view of the road or interfere with the operation of a vehicle's controls or safety
features such as air bag systems.
The route calculated by the navigation device is a suggested route and used for
reference only. It is not a substitute for alert driver behaviour and common
sense. Drivers must continue to pay attention to all road regulations and hazards
regardless of instructions from the navigation device.

Safety While Travelling
While the Hema HN6 NAVIGATOR is a valuable aid for navigation, it is only that -
an aid - and as such should not be used as a replacement for hard-copy maps and
other traditional navigational aids while travelling, especially in remote areas. Always
ensure that you have adequate backup systems in place to ensure your personal
safety.
Local conditions can change rapidly, therefore it is wise to pay attention to road signs,
particularly where those signs advise of serious hazards, such as local flooding etc.

Battery
This product uses a re-chargeable Lithium-Polymer battery which is not user
serviceable and not user replaceable. Failing to adhere to these guidelines may
reduce the life expectancy of the battery or present the risk of electrolyte leak,
explosion and fire resulting in chemical burn, damage and/or injury.
When charging from a Personal Computer (PC), switch the device off. Disconnect
the device when it is fully charged (indicated by the device charge light turning
green).
Before storage, partially charge the battery to approximately 50% capacity.
Lithium-Polymer batteries do not need to be fully charged. A partial charge will
generally extend the useful life of your battery, but results in reduced running
time from that charge.
Only use the original 12/24V car adapter supplied with the Hema HN6
NAVIGATOR. Use of nonstandard parts or accessories may result in malfunctions
and/or severely damage the device and may void your warranty.
Do not expose the device to a damp, wet or corrosive environment.
Do not expose the device to excessive pressures, heat sources, high
temperatures, or extreme sunlight conditions, such as an unattended vehicle on a
hot day.
Do not expose the device to operating temperatures outside of the recommended
range of -20°C ~ 55°C and storage temperatures outside of the recommended
range of -20°C ~ 35°C.
Do not pierce, open or dismantle the battery. If the battery leaks and you come
into contact with the liquid, thoroughly rinse the contaminated area with water
and consult with a doctor immediately.

Cleaning the Unit
The Hema HN6 NAVIGATOR casing can be cleaned using a cloth slightly dampened
with water and a mild detergent and then wiped dry. Care must be taken not to let
moisture into the speaker holes or any of the ports, jacks and slots on the device.
The touch screen may be cleaned using lint free or microfibre cloths.
Isopropyl alcohol or water may be applied to the cloth where required to gently wipe
the touch screen.
Do not use harsh or abrasive cloths and avoid the use of chemical cleaners or
solvents as these can damage the NAVIGATOR.

About Your NAVIGATOR
So, what IS the NAVIGATOR? What makes it different to other car GPS devices?
Most in-vehicle GPS systems are designed for use around town and on suburban
streets. They use a mapping system called vector mapping, and they can tell you how
to get from A to B by guiding you with on-screen directions and (usually) spoken
instructions as well. There are many other features which may or may not be
included, depending on the make and model.
A typical street only GPS will quite happily create routes between points within the
same suburb, city, state, or even across the country.
Once you leave the main highway, however, and venture into more remote locations,
these types of GPS systems are generally not quite as useful.
This is where the Hema HN6 NAVIGATOR steps in.
The Hema HN6 NAVIGATOR is equipped with iGo Primo 2 which performs the
same functions as a typical street-only vehicle GPS. It has several unique features
including:
Camps Australia Wide 6 POIs
Caravan Parks Aust Wide POIs.
Dump Point (effluent) POIs
see the section in this guide Using your NAVIGATOR with the CAMPS 6 and
Caravan Parks Australia Wide Books
The 4WD navigation system features OziExplorer software, which is what makes the
Hema HN6 NAVIGATOR different. It does not work in the same way as the usual
"street only" GPS units and software.
The basic concept is that you have an electronic map image, which is almost identical
to the existing paper maps published by Hema. These maps are known as "raster
maps". OziExplorer knows the geographical area which is covered by the electronic
map, and therefore, once it knows your vehicle's position, can identify and display
your vehicle's location on the map.
It also has some other useful features, including:
Adding waypoints at any location. A waypoint is a "marker" on the map, which
you might use so that you can find your way back to a specific location at a future
time (such as a good fishing spot, a nice camping area, etc.)
Recording the path your vehicle follows as you travel in bush areas. This is known
as a Track Log or Breadcrumb Trail. This can be a very handy tool if you are in
an area where there are indistinct tracks to follow. While the screen shows
where you are now on the map displayed, it also shows how you got there.
Searching for named locations such as "Ayers Rock", or "Fog Bay" etc. The Name
Search Database contains just under 80000 locations. Once a location is found by
searching, you can show it on a map, add a waypoint for it, or just go directly to
it.
OziExplorer is not designed for use within towns and suburbs, and it does not
provide Turn-By-Turn Navigation (create a route from point A to point B
automatically), that is what the iGo software is there for.
The fact that the NAVIGATOR includes additional features means that to get the most
out of it, you may need to spend a bit more time reading the User Guides and

HN6 Quick Start Guide
11
familiarising yourself with its capabilities and functions. You will soon feel at home
using it.
There are many other features which the software is capable of, some of which are
explained in this Quick Start Guide. Further documentation and assistance are
available on the NAVIGATOR website, at http://www.hemanavigator.com.au/.
Enjoy exploring with your NAVIGATOR!
