> Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS

> Please follow these guidelines before and when using your device as a GPS device.

> | Do not attempt to set or adjust the GPS system while driving.

> | When using the device inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the device securely in place. Avoid placing the device in the areas shown in the following diagram:

> 1. Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.

> 2. Do not place where air bags could deploy.

> 3. Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the device in the holder.

> | The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, and weather conditions. Even metal in the overhead visors could block GPS reception.

> | Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in unstable signal reception.

> | The Global Positioning System (GPS) is maintained by the United States Department of Defense. Any changes that the DOD makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.

> | Do not leave your device in a vehicle or expose the device to direct sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could cause damage to the device or the vehicle.
