roduct’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important o
p
erating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OF MOISTURE.
POWER SUPPLY:
Connect one end of the supplied adapter to the miniUSB port of the unit. Plug the two-prong end of the
power cord to an AC 100-240V outlet. If you have difficulty inserting the plug, turn it over and reinsert it.
If the unit will not be used for a long time, disconnect the plug from the outlet.
Note Before plugging the power cord into an AC outlet, make sure that all the

iii
Before and when using the product, carefully read the following notes.
 For your safety, do not operate the product while 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 given for reference only. It is the your responsibility to follow the traffic
signs and local regulations along the roads.
 When you get off the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard that is subject to direct
sunlight. The overheating of the battery might cause malfunction and/or danger.
 GPS is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for the
performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS system might affect the accuracy of all GPS
equipment.
 GPS satellite signals cannot 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 might be affected in situations, such as bad weather or dense overhead obstacles
(e.g. trees and tall buildings).
 Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception of satellite signals and
cause the reception to be unstable.
 A car holder is needed when you use the device in a car. Be sure to place the device in an
appropriate place so as not to obstruct the driver’s view, or deployment of airbags.

Connecting to AC Power and Charging the Battery
For the first time, you should charge it for at least 8 hours.
Follow the 2 steps below to charge the battery.
1. Connect the AC power adapter to the
miniUSB port.
2. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet.
The charge indicator glows red when the battery is being charged. Do not disconnect your device from
AC power until the battery is fully charged and the charge indicator turns green. This will take a couple of
hours.
Note
1. Do not immediately turn on your device after connecting the AC
adapter to charge a power-consumed battery. If you need to turn
ON the device again, wait at least one minute.
2. Depending on your region of purchase, the connector converter
may not look exactly same as that in the picture shown above.
3. Your device can also be charged when it is connected to a desktop
computer via a USB cable.
For optimal performance of the lithium battery, bear in mind the following
notes:
1. Do not charge the battery when the surrounding temperature is high
(e.g. in direct sunlight).
2. There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You
can charge the battery before it is discharged.
3. If you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully
charge the battery at least once in two weeks. Over discharge of the
battery can affect the charging performance.

Using Your Device in a Car
A car holder and a car charger are supplied with your device.
Installing the Car Holder
Select an appropriate location for the car holder. Never place the holder
where the driver’s field of vision is blocked. If the car’s windshield is tinted
with a reflective coating, an external antenna (optional) may be needed to
route to the top of the car through a window. When closing the car window,
be careful not to pinch the antenna cable. (An adequate space may be left, as
needed, for a car with an anti-jamming window design.)
The car holder consists of a car jacket and a car mount. Use the car holder to fix your device in a
vehicle. Make sure that the GPS antenna has a clear view of the space.
For initial positioning, remain at the same spot with a clear view of the space. The GPS may take a
few minutes to find its current location initially.
Please follow the illustrative step-by-step instruction given below to assemble the car holder.
Step1:
Take a car jacket and a car mount out of the
package box.
Car Jacket
Car Mount
Step 2:
Insert 2 lugs formed at one end of the car mount
into 2 wedged slots formed on the car jacket.
Step 3:
Push upward the car mount to tightly wedge the
2 slots formed on the car jacket.
Caution

Step 4:
Push the car mount lock towards the sucking
disc to make the disc tightly suck the windshield
of your car.
Step 5:
Set the GPS product downwards and inward at
the degree of 15 towards 2 sides of lower hooks
of the car jacket; then, push the product
backwards to wedge the upper hook of the car
jacket.
Step 6:
The installation of the car holder is completed.
Connecting the Car Charger
The car charger supplies power to your device you are using 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.
Follow the instructions below to connect the car charger to the car cigarette socket.
1. Connect one end of the car charger to
the power connector of your device.
2. Connect the other end to the 5V
cigarette lighter in the car to power and
charge your device. The indicator on
the car charger lights in green to
indicate that power is being supplied to
your device.
