PRECAUTIONS & WARNINGS
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT
This product is intended to provide accurate turn-by-turn directions that will help
you quickly reach your desired destination. We therefore, recommend that you read
and follow all information, and instructions in this Owner’s Manual for the best
performance and satisfaction of your MN312R.
Your MN312R IS NOT a substitute for personal judgment. The route suggestions
should never supersede any local traffic regulation, personal judgment or
knowledge of safe driving practices. Before making any maneuvers (for example,
a U-turn or a left turn) suggested by the MN312R system, please be sure that
such a maneuver can be completed legally and safely. Do not follow route
suggestions that could put you or your vehicle in a potentially unsafe or illegal
circumstance.
You should not depend on MN312R to locate emergency services (such as police,
fire stations, hospitals and clinics). The database may not include all emergency
service providers. It is the best to call your local police department and ask for
directions in these situations.
Set the unit volume at a level that will allow you to hear outside traffic and
emergency vehicles.
Avoid placing cell phones or wireless transceiver devices near the GPS antenna
(located in the rear of the unit) as their signals may weaken or interfere with the
GPS satellite signal being received by your MN312R, causing it to perform poorly.
The MN312R should not be programmed while driving. The driver can only
program the unit while the vehicle is parked in a safe location. Otherwise, a
p assen g er may p ro g ram an d operate t he un it whil e t he veh icl e i s i n mo ti on.
SEVERE INJURY RISK -DO NOT mount your MN312R on the surface of, or in
the deployment field of your vehicle’s driver and passenger airbag units.
Position the unit in a location that does not obstruct the driver’s view of the
road, i ns t rumen t s or veh icl e con t ro l s.

Welcome Statement & Warnings

Position the unit so the screen can be viewed with just a quick glance. Glance at
the unit screen or manipulate the in-route touch screen controls ONLY WHEN

with the supplied bracket.
DO NOT attempt to modify or disassemble the MN312R unit. Personal injury or
damage could result. If a problem occurs, stop using the system immediately
and contact RYDEEN. Changes or modifications to the MN312R will void the
warranty and its compliance with FCC rules thus making it illegal to use.

out of the unit; unusual odor emanating from the unit) – STOP USING THE
UNIT IMMEDIATELY. Contact the nearest RYDEEN retailer or call RYDEEN

Most vehicles have the mirror mounted directly onto the glass;
therefore improper tools or techniques used in the installation
could result in a damaged or broken windshield. Rydeen is not
responsible for damages to windshield caused by installation
processes.
1) Remove the existing mirror and unplug a connector if exist. (Note: All
vehicles use different mounting solutions. If necessary, consult your local
automotive dealer or installation professional for specific instructions.)
2) Attach the vehicle-specific mounting stem (sold
separately) to the back of the mirror using the
supplied washers and screws, starting with the holes
nearest the top of mirror housing.
3) Mount the MN312R using supplied screw. Slide or
twist it onto the factory mounting base and carefully
tighten the screw until secure.
