EZ ROAD MANUAL

Precautions and Notices

For the safety of yourself and others, please observe the following
safety requirements:
Do not attempt to operate any Pharos GPS navigation and routing system in a
Ø
vehicle while the vehicle is in motion, or in any way that interferes with safe
driving.
Secure your EZ Road to the vehicle in such a way as to not endanger the
Ø
driver or passengers while driving or during operation.
Do not use the EZ Road in any area (country, state, city, etc.) that prohibits the
Ø
use of electronic displays in motor vehicles.
GPS signals cannot pass through opaque solid materials. Overhead obstacles,
Ø
such as tall buildings, tunnels, highways, dense trees, and bad weather, can
effect signal reception. If the car's window tint contains metallic material, GPS
signal cannot pass through.
Cordless phones, radar detectors, satellite radio receivers, and other wireless
Ø
devices may interfere with GPS reception or result in poor GPS reception
quality.
Navigation maps may contain errors and omissions or may be out-of-date with
Ø
recent road changes or conditions. Please be attentive to roadway signage,
all posted roadway information, and the condition of the road itself.
GPS positioning is intended for use as a reference, not for precise
Ø
measurement of direction, distance, location or topography. Routes generated
by Ostia are only recommendations for personal use.
The calculated route is for reference only. The user is expected to follow the
Ø
