Before Use
Start the car engine before use
This mobile navigation system can be used when the ignition key is turned to ON
or ACC. However, to preserve the battery, it should be used with the engine
running whenever possible. Using the navigation system for a long time with the
engine switched off can cause the battery to run down.
Time before current position is displayed
The mobile navigation system will not display the correct current position of the
vehicle the first time it is used after purchase, or if the battery has been removed
for a long time. GPS positioning signals will soon be received, however, and the
correct position will be displayed.
Reading programmes after the battery has been turned off
The navigation programmes will be deleted if the battery is removed for repairs,
etc. If this happens, set the map disc provided into the mobile navigation system
and switch on the engine. The mobile navigation system will automatically load
the programmes and start operating normally again.
When driving on rough roads
The mobile navigation system might not operate properly or be able to read map
data from the disc if there is severe vibration caused by driving on rough roads.
Handling the GPS antenna
• Do not paint the antenna. This will impair or disable signal reception.
• Remove any object or accumulated snow, etc., from the top of the antenna. It
will reduce reception strength.
• Do not pull the cord when removing the antenna or adjusting its position. This
can cause a short or snap the wires.
Operating whilst driving
The GPS voice navigation system displays the switches disabled during driving in
fainter colours. These switches stop functioning and no message is displayed.
Precautions for handling precision machines
Be careful of the surrounding temperature. Using the mobile navigation system at
extremely high or low temperatures can lead to malfunction or damage.
Also note that the unit can be damaged by strong vibration or by metal objects or
water getting inside.
Condensation
Condensation can form on the lens inside the main unit just after the car heater is
switched on in cold weather, for example, leading to malfunction. The main unit
will start working normally again if it is just left alone for about one hour for this
condensation to go away. If normal operation is not restored after several hours,
return the main unit to the store where you purchased the mobile navigation
system.
Map disc
Always replace the map disc with another compatible map disc. Never insert an
incompatible disc. It can damage the main unit.
