IMPOTANT NOTICES AND WARNINGS
Important Notices and Warnings
This documentation
Thank you for choosing our product as your navigator. Read the Quick Start Guide first and start
using your device right away. This document is the detailed description of the navigation software
and hardware. ou can easily discover the software while you are using it; however, we still
recommend that you read this manual to fully understand the screens and features.
Global Positioning System
The Global Position System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides location and timing
information around the globe.
GPS is operated and controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United States
of America, who are responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and
accuracy or in environmental conditions, may affect the operation of your Navig8r. We cannot
accept any liability for the availability or accuracy of GPS.
Precautions
For your safety and the safety of other road users, do not operate the controls of this Navig8r while
driving. Use care when operating the Navig8r. This product is intended to be used only as an aid to
navigate. It is not intended for the precise measurement of direction, distance, or location
topography.
The Calculated routes are for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility to follow all local traffic
regulations and traffic signs when driving. Local conditions and regulations may change at short
notice and may not be included in the software/mapping data of this product.
When leaving your vehicle, do not leave the Navig8r on the dashboard of the car. It should be
removed and placed in a secure place along with the windscreen mount and power cable. Do not
leave the Navig8r in direct sunlight or in an enclosed vehicle when not in use. Overheating of the
battery may cause damage or cause the Navig8r to malfunction. Extreme overheating may cause
the battery to leak.
GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials with the exception of glass. When travelling
through tunnels or inside buildings, such as parking stations, GPS positioning is not available. The
time taken for the Navig8r to re-acquire satellite signals when emerging from tunnels or buildings
may vary and will depend on atmospheric conditions and the environment.
A minimum of four GPS satellite signals is required to determine the Navig8rs current location. Signal
reception can be affected by atmospheric conditions such as; bad weather, thick clouds, solar
activity and dense overhead objects such as trees, tall buildings and large road signs. Wireless
devices can also interfere with satellite reception.
The use of devices with a GPS antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, hospitals and other locations
that contain sensitive equipment. The Navig8r should not be used in these environments.

WARNING
1.1 Warning
This Navig8r GPS should not be used in conditions of high temperature, high humidity or dusty
conditions We recommend that the Navig8r is not left in direct sunlight for extended periods or left
fitted to the windscreen, dashboard or glove box
Prolonged exposure to high temperatures may cause the Navig8r to malfunction and may even cause
permanent damage to the Navig8r
There are no user serviceable parts in this device Opening the device may cause harm and damage
the device Any attempt to disassemble this device will void the warranty
Images, screen shots and features shown in this manual may vary slightly from the actual product
We reserve the right to make changes to this product without notice
1.2 Before Using Your Navig8r GPS Unit
Please check the contents of the packaging and ensure that all equipment is located and identified.
The protective screen cover may be left on the device but may impede the viewing of the device in
normal operation.
Connect the Navig8r GPS unit to power source for a period of 24 hours in the first instance to charge
and condition the battery. It may take several charge/discharge cycles for the device to reach peak
endurance. The charging process will take longer if the device is turned on.
Subsequent charging should take less time to complete.
This GPS can only be charged from the PC USB port when the Navig8r is turned OFF.
Once the initial charge has been completed turn the GPS device on. The Navig8r should launch the
Navigation software.
To turn the device off for short periods simply remove the Navig8r from its power supply (or turn the
ignition off). If the navigation software is running the Navig8r will detect the power off and place
itself in sleep mode. When the power is turned back on again the Navig8r will start at the last screen
shown.
The GPS will continue to draw power from the battery in sleep mode and will go flat after 24 to 36
hours.
To turn the GPS off manually or if the device is not to be used for periods longer than two or three
days, simply press the power button for 3 seconds and then tap the shut down option or cancel to
return to the previous screen.
If no option is selected the Navig8r will turn off after 15 seconds.
Prior to using the GPS system for the first time, it is recommended that the touch screen be
calibrated. Please see the system setting instructions further on in this manual.

CONNECTING THE CAR CHARGER
1.3 Mounting the GPS Unit in Your Vehicle
Fit the windscreen mount to the holder which you have attached to the rear of the GPS unit and test
mount the GPS on the windscreen of the car. Choose a position that will not obstruct your vision
whilst driving but will also provide the GPS unit the best coverage of the sky through the windscreen.
Loosen the two knobs on the mount to allow movement of the pivot points.
The Navig8r should only be fitted on fixed windows.
Once the best location has been determined, remove the protective film from the suction cap of the
windscreen mount and, on clean glass, fit firmly against the windscreen. Push the tab located on the
top of the suction cup towards the windscreen until it locks in place. For best results it is
recommended that the suction cup be moistened before fitting.
In a normal driving position adjust the GPS to a position that will be in view whilst driving and does
not obstruct your view of the road. Once the correct position has been found tighten the two knobs
on the mount to prevent the GPS moving from vibration. Do not over tighten these knobs.
Changes in temperatures and condensation may cause the suction cup to become loose and should
be checked on a regular basis. To avoid damage or theft, the GPS should not be left on the
windscreen mount overnight.
To remove the mount from the windscreen, take hold of the mount in one hand and use the other to
pull the tab away from the mount. Locate the plastic tab on the side of the suction cup and gently
pull away from the windscreen to break the seal.
N.B: Tinted windows may impede the Navig8rs ability to detect the GPS satellites correctly.
1.4 Connecting the Car Charger
Caution: To protect the GPS against the possibility of damage caused by power surges when the
vehicle is started, the charger should not be connected to the GPS device when the vehicle is
started.
The car charger supplies power to the device when it is being used in the vehicle.
Connect the USB plug to the USB socket of the GPS and then fit the other end in to the
cigarette/power outlet of your vehicle once the vehicle has been started.
The charge light indicator on the GPS should glow when connected to power.
The GPS can now be started by pressing the power button on top of the device for about 3 seconds.
When starting the GPS in the vehicle it may take a short period of time for the system to acquire a
valid GPS signal. Please make sure that the GPS unit has a clear view of the sky and is not impeded
by trees, awnings, car ports or similar obstructions.

In most states it is illegal to operate a GPS system while driving a vehicle. When entering information
into the GPS, please pull over safely to the side of the road before using this device. It is better to set
the destination for the GPS before you start on your trip rather than trying to enter it on the move.
When positioning the GPS system on the windscreen of your vehicle, make sure that it is placed in a
position that provides a clear view of the road ahead and ensure the driver does not have to look
away from the road to check the screen.
Please read the hardware section to ensure that all accessories can be identified and you can
assemble the navig8r GPS. Also please read the section on “Mounting the GPS unit in your vehicle”
in the hardware section to ensure that the Navig8r is mounted safely and securely.
The first time the GPS unit is used, or it has not been used for some time, it may take some several
minutes for it to detect the GPS satellites. Restarting the system in the same location should acquire
the signals quickly.
Please read this section carefully.
