Plug it in
►Connect the power adapter to the
power connector on the lower right side of the
device.
Plug the other end into your car’s cigarette lighter
►
(or any standard 12 V DC outlet).
Only use the power adapter that came with your
►
device. Any other adapter might damage the
device.
Whenever it senses power coming in, the
►
device turns itself on and charges
the battery.
As soon as the power stops (for
►
example, when you unplug the
adapter or turn off your car), the
device automatically shuts down. If
you want it to stay on, tap anywhere
on the screen during the Shutting down message.
You can turn the device on or off anytime you want: just push the
►
power button on top of the device (hold the button for three seconds to
turn the device off). See Hardware button (Power on/off) p19.

How Do I Put It in My Car?
Safety considerations
Don’t install any device where it will block your view (including your►
mirrors!) while you’re driving.
Keep your attention on the road!
►Don’t try to operate or focus
on any device while you’re driving. If you have to concentrate on a
device, pull off the road for a few minutes.
It’s a good idea to take valuable items with you when you leave you
►
car—that includes GPS devices. If you can’t take the device with
you, lock it in the glove compartment or hide it somewhere. And don’t
forget to take down the windshield mount: you don’t want to remind
any potential thieves that you might have some valuable mobile
electronics in the car.
Don’t leave the device in direct sunlight for a long period of time or
where the temperature could go above 60º C (140º F).

The adjustment lock keeps both the bracket and the suction cup►
locked into place. Lift the adjustment lock to change the position of the
device.
The suction cup joint pivots front to back, and the bracket joint pivots
►
up, down, right and left, any just about angle in between.
Angle the suction cup and the bracket where you want them, then
►
push the adjustment lock back down to lock the windshield mount into
position.
If the bracket still moves too easily after you push the adjustment lock
►
down, tighten the bracket joint (lift the adjustment lock, and twist the
lock handle clockwise two, maybe three turns).
