2. Important Tips and Warnings
2.1 General
a) Effective route planning prior to beginning each journey is highly recommended.
If you need to setup o change your itinerary while on route, please ensure the
vehicle is stopped. For your own safety and for others, please DO NOT
OPERATE THIS UNIT WHILE DRIVING.
b) The Navigation feature is intended to be used only as an aid, not as a precise
measurement of direction, distance, location or topography. Because calculated
routes and voice guidance are for reference only and may be different from the
actual road circumstances, it is the user’s responsibility to follow traffic signs,
speed limits, road layout and local regulations at all times.
c) When you leave your vehicle, please do not leave your unit on the dashboard in
direct sunlight. This may cause the battery to overheat and malfunction. (It also
may get stolen) Use the product within the recommended operational

©2008 XROAD All rights reserved. 9
temperature range (0’C ~ 55’C), and avoid exposing the unit to excessive heat
or cold temperatures.
d) GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials other than glass. So
when you are inside a tunnel or a building, the GPS positioning may not be
available. (Signal will be lost) Signal (GPS) reception can also be affected by
situations such as bad weather or dense overhead cover such as trees and
buildings. Wireless units may also interfere with satellite signals, causing
variable and inaccurate GPS reception.
e) While you are driving, please ensure that you only look at the display when it’s
safe to do so.
