Navman does not condone speeding or any other failure to comply with your local traffic laws. It is your responsibility to drive within the
posted speed limit at all times and to drive in a careful manner.

Important safety information
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING PRODUCT
IN VEHICLE
This is the safety alert symbol. It is used to alert you to potential personal injury
hazards. Obey all safety messages that follow this symbol to avoid possible
injury or death.
WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may
result in minor or moderate injury.
CAUTION used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
Removing original equipment, adding accessories or modifying your vehicle could affect the vehicle’s safety or make it illegal to operate
in some jurisdictions.
Follow all product instructions and all instructions in your vehicle owner’s manual regarding accessories or modifications.
Consult your country’s and/or state’s laws regarding operation of a vehicle with any accessories or modifications.
It is your sole responsibility to place, secure and use the Navman in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property
damage. Always observe safe driving practices.
Mount the Navman in a position that is secure and does not obstruct the driver’s view.
Do not mount the Navman in a way that may interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle, the deployment of air bags or other safety
equipment.
Do not operate the Navman while driving.
Before you use your Navman for the first time, familiarize yourself with your device and its operation.
On main roads, the distance to an exit calculated by the Navman may be further than the distance shown on road signs. Road signs
show the distance to the start of an exit while your Navman shows the distance to the next intersection, i.e., the end of the exit ramp or
road. To prepare to exit a road, always follow distance information on road signs.
The use of information regarding safety or speed camera locations may be subject to local laws in the country of use. You are
responsible for checking that you can legally use the information in your country or in the country where the information will be used.
Do not handle the Navman while it is hot. Let the product cool, out of direct sunlight.
Do not expose the Navman to direct sunlight in an unattended vehicle for prolonged periods. Overheating may damage the unit.
To discourage theft, do not leave the Navman, mounting bracket or any cables in plain view in an unattended vehicle.

AC Adapter-specific safety information
To charge your Navman from the mains power, use the AC adapter/AC power pack supplied by Navman as an accessory (may be sold
separately). Using other AC adapters with your Navman could result in serious injury or property damage.
Never use the adapter if the plug or cord are damaged.
Do not expose the adapter to moisture or water. Do not use the adapter in a high moisture environment. Exposure to water may cause
electrical sparks or fires.
Never touch the adapter when your hands or feet are wet.
Allow adequate ventilation around the adapter when using it to operate your Navman or charge the Navman internal battery. Do not
cover the adapter with paper or other objects that will reduce ventilation. Do not use the adapter while it is inside a carrying case or other
container.
Ensure that the adapter is connected to a power source with the correct fitting and voltage requirements. The voltage requirements can
be found on the AC adapter casing and/or packaging.
Do not attempt to service the adapter as this could result in personal injury. Replace the adapter if it is damaged or exposed to excess
moisture.
Internal battery-specific safety information
The Navman contains a non-replaceable internal lithium-ion polymer battery. The battery may burst or explode if mishandled, releasing
hazardous chemicals. To reduce the risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush or puncture the battery.
Recycle or dispose of the battery safely and properly according to local laws and regulations. Do not dispose of the battery in fire or
water.
Only use the correct AC adapter (sold separately) or in-vehicle adapter supplied by Navman to charge the Navman internal battery.
Only use the Navman internal battery with the Navman unit.
Failure to adhere to these warnings and cautions may lead to death, serious injury or property damage. Navman disclaims all
liability for installation or use of the Navman that causes or contributes to death, injury or property damage or that violates
any law.
