Precautions and Notices
1) The Li-ion battery can not be used above 50'C / 120'F, please do not operate the navigator under high temperature
and use the specified cigarette lighter charger only.
2) When you get off the car, do not leave the Novogo Navigator on the dashboard that is subject to direct sunlight. The
overheating of the battery can cause malfunction and/or danger.
3) If the battery is running out of power or have not been used after a long period of time, it may need to be charged
for 3~5 minutes before you can turn it on.
4) Novogo provides one year warranty of the GPS Navigator and 6 months warranty of the battery. For any warranty
issues or technical supports, please contact with your dealer or visit our website www.novogo.com for more details.
5) 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.
6) GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS
signals will not be available.
7) A minimum of 3 GPS satellite signals is needed to determine current position. Signal reception can be affected by situa-
tions such as bad weather or dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings).
8) Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception of satellite signals and cause the reception to be
unstable.
9) A docking kit is needed when using the device in a car. Be sure to place the device in an appropriate place, so as not to
obstruct the driver’s view, and avoid the deployment in front of airbags.
0) 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.
1) The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility to follow the traffic signs and local regulations
along the roads.
2) For your own safety, do not operate the Novogo Navigator while driving.

window tint)
Switch on the power and

• Please attach the Car Holder in the position that will not obstruct your driving view and avoid the deployment in front of
the air bag.
• Under normal journey conditions, the suction mount is perfectly sufficient to hold in position. Note that suction may be lost
over time due to condensation and high/low temperature. For this reason, we recommend cleaning the suction cup and
windshield, and reattaching the suction mount from time to time.
• Some vehicles may have a heat reflective treatment on the windshield which can block GPS signal reception. If this turns out
to be a problem in your vehicle, you may need to purchase and install the External Antenna separately.
• To activate your 12V socket without starting your engine, you may need to set your ignition key in an ‘Accessories’ position.
In addition, The Novogo Navigator contains a rechargeable battery and can be used for up to 2 hours without charging, so
for short journeys it may be possible to do without the DC power lead.
• Your Novogo Navigator does not transmit your location, so others cannot use it to track you while driving.
