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 MN312S/MN312D.
Your MN312S/MN312D 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
MN312S/MN312D 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 MN312S/MN312D 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
MN312S/MN312D, causing it to perform poorly.
The MN312S/MN312D should not be programmed while driving. The driver
can only program the unit while the vehicle is parked in a safe location.
Otherwise, a passenger may program and operate the unit while the vehicle
is in motion.
SEVERE INJURY RISK -DO NOT mount your MN312S/MN312D 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, instruments or vehicle controls.
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 VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY STOPPED AND IT IS SAFE to do so.
Be sure the MN312S/MN312D unit is securely attached to the windshield of
your vehicle with the supplied bracket.
DO NOT attempt to modify or disassemble the MN312S/MN312D unit.
Personal injury or damage could result. If a problem occurs, stop using the
system immediately and contact RYDEEN. Changes or modifications to the
MN312S/MN312D will void the warranty and its compliance with FCC rules
thus making it illegal to use.
If you notice any of the following: (unidentified liquid on the unit; smoke
rising out of the unit; unusual odor emanating from the unit) –STOP USING
THE UNIT IMMEDIATELY. Contact the nearest RYDEEN retailer or call
RYDEEN Customer Service for assistance Toll Free @ 1-877-777-8811 (within
USA only).
DO NOT mount your MN312S/MN312D on any non-automotive form of
transportation (motorcycles, bikes, ATV’s, watercraft).
WARNINGS
Avoid dropping your MN312S/MN312D unit or subjecting it to excessive shock
and vibrations as this may cause it to malfunction.
DO NOT use any sharp object to operate your unit’s touch-screen display.
Excessive force could damage the LCD display.
Keep the MN312S/MN312D unit out of reach of small children. Removable
parts (microSD memory card) can be a choking hazard.
