  • Page 7: Warnings And Safety Information

    1 Warnings and Safety information AZ291MA is a navigation system that helps you find your way to your destination with its GPS receiver. AZ291MA does not transmit your GPS position; others cannot track you. It is important that you look at the display only when it is safe to do so. If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you operate AZ291MA before you start your journey.
