NOTICE
USING YOUR NAVIGATOR for the first time
1. Charge completely
2. Install into your vehicle
3. Initialize software as described in the manual
4. Make sure that the car is outside the garage and it is not covered by anything (treed,
bridges, etc)
5. Normally it takes a bit longer to receive the GPS signal the first time you turn on the unit.
Your device has to locate 3 satellites to function. This time to find the satellites is
significantly shorter after the first time you use the device. If you move your unit over
300km without it being used, it may need a little more time to locate the satellites again.

Safety and Regulatory Information
Important Safety Notices and Warnings
Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning 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 device .We cannot accept any liability for the availability and accuracy of
GPS.
Precautions and Notices
For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product whilst driving.
Use this product prudently. The product is intended to be used only as a navigation aid. It
is not for precise measurement of direction, distance, location or topography.
The calculated route is for references only. It is the user's responsibility to follow the traffic
signs and local regulations along the roads. When you leave car, do not leave your device
on the dashboard or the car glass that is subject to direct sunlight. The overheating of the
battery can cause malfunction and /or danger. Remove the GPS, bracket and charger
from sight to reduce the risk of theft.
GPS is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for the
performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS system can affect the accuracy of all GPS
equipments.
GPS satellite signals can not pass through solid materials (except glass).When you are
inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not available.
A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is needed to determine current GPS position. Signal
reception can be affected by situations such as bad weather or dense overhead
obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings)
The wireless devices may interfere with the reception of satellite signals and cause the
reception of the signal to be unstable. For better signal reception, it is recommended that
the GPS unit is positioned to have a clear view of the sky. I should also be positioned as to
not to obstruct the drivers view or the road ahead.
Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many hospitals and in
many other locations. The device should not be used in these environments.

Note: Before using GPS navigation software and maps, you need to insert the storage
Card included with your device. Do not remove the card during GPS in operation.
1.3 Using Your Device in a Vehicle
A stand and a car charger are supplied with your device.
1.3.1 Using the Car Bracket
Caution:
-- Select an appropriate location for the bracket. Never place the bracket where the
driver's field of vision is blocked. Locate the Bracket as low as possible and Bend the rod
part of the bracket to adjust the driver’s view of the screen.
-- If the car's windshield is tinted with a reflective coating, an external antenna (3rd party
accessory) maybe required to route the Antenna to the top of the car through a window.
When closing the car window, be careful not to pinch the antenna cable (Cars with an
anti-jam window design may automatically leave adequate space as needed.).
1.3.2 Connecting the Car Charger
The car charger supplies power to your device when you are using the device in a car.
Caution: To protect your device against sudden surges in current, connect the car
charger only after the car engine has been started. Connect one end of the car charger
Do not expose the device to high temperatures. We recommend that you do not leave the device
in direct sunlight for long periods or in an unattended car on sunny days.
High temperatures can cause permanent damage.
Do not attempt to service the device yourself! Do not open, puncture or disassemble the GPS
unit. Doing so will void the warranty can be dangerous.

to the power connector of your device. Connect the other end to the cigarette lighter in
the car to power and charge your device.
1.3.3 Charging the battery
1. Fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time
2. Connect the USB cable to the bottom of your device and connect.
3. Turn the computer On. The GPS unit cannot charge if there is no power to the USB
ports on your computer.
4. Charging the GPS unit with the USB cable will take about 24 hours. The charge
indicator glows amber when charging is in progress. Remove the GPS after 24 hours.
Charging the GPS with the optional AC adaptor
1. Connect the optional AC adaptor as shown above. The charge indicator glows
amber when charging is in progress. Do not disconnect your device from AC
power until the battery is fully charged, when the charge indicator turns green.
This will take a couple of hours.
1.3.4 Assembly
To get started, put the device into the holder and assemble holder with bracket. Take off
the protective film on the bottom or the suction. Then put the bracket onto a suitable
location of your windscreen or side window, make sure the window and the suction or
windscreen is clean. For best suction, it is recommended that the suction cup be

moistened before affixing to the windscreen. When in a suitable place, push the leaver at
the base of the bracket towards the suction cup to secure a seal. Check the seal to
ensure that suction cup is working before releasing the GPS. Bend the post of the bracket
to position the screen in a comfortable position for the drive without obscuring the view
through the windscreen.
Note: Controlling 5 different levels of suction by pressing down the button (See below
picture)
Note: Some newer vehicles may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the
windscreen. In some cases this can prevent proper GPS signal reception. If this turns out
to be a problem in your vehicle, you will need to purchase and install a 3rd party GPS
external antenna kit.
Under normal journey conditions, the suction mount is perfectly sufficient to hold the
bracket and GPS in position. Suction may be lost if left overnight, due to condensation
and low temperature. For this reason, and for security, we recommend removing both
the suction mount bracket and the device when leaving your vehicle overnight.
To remove the bracket, three steps as below:
Press the 2 buttons on the side of the lever, pull back lightly and then take off the suction.
If the bracket still doesn't detach from your windscreen, tug gently on the clear plastic tab
at the edge of the suction mount, to break the vacuum seal.
Controlling 5 different
levels of suction by
pressing down the button
1. Press 2 sides button
