SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
This safety alert symbol indicates that a potential personal injury hazard is present. The symbol
is usually used with a signal word (e.g., WARNING) which designates the degree or level of hazard
seriousness.
The signal word WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
The signal word NOTICE indicates a situation which can cause damage to the product, other personal
property and/or to the environment, or cause the product to operate improperly.
The combination of the safety alert symbol and signal word is used in safety messages throughout this
manual and on safety labels on this product.
All safety messages that follow have WARNING level hazards. Failure to
comply could result in death or serious injury.
GPS Safety
• Do not program the GPS while driving. Always stop your vehicle when programming or changing the
settings on the GPS. Programming the GPS while driving can cause you to take your eyes o the
road and could result in an accident.
• Only glance at the display monitor while driving. Prolonged periods of viewing while driving could
result in an accident.
• The GPS is used only as a navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance,
speed, time or location. The user must follow all trac signs and local regulations.
• Do not rely on the navigation system to route you to the closest emergency services. Not all
emergency services are in the database.
• Make sure the volume is set to a level that still allows you to hear outside trac and emergency
vehicles.
• Regardless of how and where the navigation system directs you, it is your responsibility to operate
the vehicle in a safe and legal manner.
• GPS satellite signals cannot pass through some materials. When you are inside a tunnel or a
building, the GPS signal may not be available.

seen, but not in a position where it can obstruct your vision when driving.
NOTE: To maximize the effectiveness of the suction mount, the mounting location surface
temperature should be between 70° and 100°F (21° and 38°C); avoid application below 50°F
(10°C). Do not perform application in direct sunlight.
