IMPORTANT NOTICES AND WARNINGS
Important Notices and Warnings
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
impact the operation of your M35 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
M35 Navig8r while driving. Use care when operating this M35 Navig8r. This product is
intended to be used only as an aid to navigation. It is not intended for precises
measurement of direction, distance, location of topography.
The calculated route is 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 not be include in the
software/mapping data in this product.
When leaving your vehicle, do not leave the M35 Navig8r on the dashboard of the
car. It should be removed and placed in a secure place along with the windscreen
mount and power supply cable. Do not leave the M35 Navig8r in direct sunlight
when not driving the vehicle. Overheating of the battery may cause damage or
cause the M35 Navig8r to malfunction. Extreme overheating may cause the battery
to leak or worse.
GPS is operated by the Government of the United States of America, which is solely
responsible for the performance of GPS. Any changes to the GPS system can affect
the accuracy of all GPS equipment.
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. Time taken for the M35 Navig8r to require satellite signals
when emerging from tunnels or buildings may vary and depend on atmospheric
conditions and the environment.
A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is required to determine the M35 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 antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, most hospitals and
other locations that contain sensitive equipment. The M35 Navig8r should not be
used in these environments.

WARNING
Warnings
This M35 Navig8r should not be used in conditions of high temperature, high humidity
or dusty conditions. We recommend that the M35 Navig8r is not left in direct sunlight
for extended periods or left fitted to the windscreen or dashboard of the vehicle
while unattended.
Prolonged exposure to high temperature may cause the M35 Navig8r to malfunction
and even permanent damage to the M35 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.
Before Using Your GPS Unit
Please check the contents of the packaging and ensure that all equipment is
located and identified and the supplied SD card is inserted into the SD slot of the
device. The protective screen cover may be left on the device but may impede the
viewing of the device in normal operation.
Connect the GPS to the USB port of your computer 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.
Subsequent charging should take less time to complete.
Once the initial charge has been completed, turn the unit on by pressing and
holding the power button located on the top of the unit for 3 seconds. The M35
Navig8r should start at the System Main Menu.
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.
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 that will also provide the GPS unit
the best coverage of the sky through the windscreen. The mount stem can be bent
to offer the best viewing.
This M35 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

www.navig8r.com.au/m35

CONNECTING THE CAR CHARGER
windscreen. Push the tab located on the top of the suction cup towards the
windscreen. The fitting is made with 5 different settings for controlling the level of
suction required. For best results it is recommended that the suction cup be
moistened before fitting. Changes in temperatures and condensation may cause
the suction cup to become loose and should be checked on a regular basis. To
avoid damage and 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 move the buttons on the side of 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 M35 Navig8rs ability to detect the GPS satellites
correctly.
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 out let 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 the top of the device
for about 3 seconds. The GPS will start at the Main System Menu.
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, and car ports and similar obstructions.
To turn the GPS off, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. The M35 Navig8r
will be powered down and the position in the menu structure saved; when the M35
Navig8r is started again it will start up in the same screen or position in the program it
was in when it was turned off.
