Map and Music Mode The unit has two main modes of operation: Map Mode and Music Mode. To switch between these two modes, press the MAP/MUSIC button located on the right side of the unit. In Map Mode you can drag the map across the screen to focus on a specific area or point to a nearby restaurant to get detailed information and navigate to it. Since the touch screen responds to pressure, you will have to actually push against the screen to scroll the map. In Music Mode touch the play control buttons to start and stop music or skip among songs. To use Music Mode you will need to copy music files to the unit. The iWAY package includes a USB-PC cable so the unit can be connected to a home computer. Use care when connecting or disconnecting the USB-PC cable from your home computer. The unit can play both MP3 and Ogg Vorbis music files. Caution: Use a microfiber towel to clean the unit's touch screen. Other cleaning materials could damage the screen ­ damage that is not covered by this product's warranty. Mounting Instructions The iWAY package includes a flexible, quick release arm mount. The flexible arm mount is used to secure the unit to glass or other smooth surfaces. 2 The flexible arm mount allows you to make non-mar installations without drilling, screws or permanent adhesives. Since the mount is portable, it's easy to transfer the GPS unit to another vehicle. WARNING: When mounting a GPS unit in an automobile you must avoid any installation that obscures important instruments and controls or restricts the driver's view through the vehicle's windows. Avoid placing the GPS where it could be propelled by an activated airbag. Some states restrict mounting any electronic device in any location on an automobile dash or windshield. Be sure to check your local laws before using these mounts. Be sure to check the suction mount for adequate adhesion each time you use the unit and reinstall it if necessary. This is a portable mounting device and the normal heating and cooling cycle of a car's interior will eventually loosen the seal. A loose suction cup could allow the unit to fall or come loose during vehicle operations. Installing the flexible suction cup mount The suction cup base and arm can be adjusted to a position that best suits your vehicle. The mounting surface should be free of dirt and oil. While you can attach the flexible suction cup mount to the windshield before attaching the unit to the suction cup mount, it may be easier if the suction cup mount is connected to the unit first. You can then attach the entire assembly to the car's windshield. Suction release tab Suction cup base Locking lever GPS unit resting on dash Unit resting on dash with flexible suction cup mount. 3 To attach the flexible suction cup mount to the back of the GPS unit align the mount with the back of the unit. Place the base of the flexible suction cup mount against the back of the unit by matching the male and female connector ends together. Then snap the mount into place by sliding the flexible suction cup mount up. Pull down on the flexible suction cup mount to disengage it from the back of the unit. The mounting surface should be free of dirt and oil. Press the suction cup against the mounting surface and, while maintaining pressure, push the locking lever down until the arm is secure. NOTE: Some areas restrict mounting any electronic device to a dash or windshield. Be sure to check your local laws before using any electronic mounting device. Align the suction cup mount with the back of the unit and snap it into place by sliding the mounting arm up. Attaching the unit to mounting arm. If the suction cup has problems staying secured to the mounting surface, clean the mounting surface and the suction cup with alcohol then reinstall. Moistening the suction cup may help it stick in some cases. To remove the suction cup base, disengage the locking lever and pull on the suction release tab to break the vacuum seal. Adhesive Mounting Plate In some automobiles a typical windshield mount may be difficult or undesirable. The flat self-adhesive mounting plate allows you to mount the unit somewhere else, such as on the dashboard or center console. 4 Top view of adhesive mounting plate, at left. Bottom view (right) shows adhesive pad with paper backing. The adhesive plate is important in these cases because the suction cup base will not hold to textured materials covering most dashboards and center consoles. The plate's smooth, flat surface provides a secure attachment for the mount's suction cup, while the plate's adhesive pad holds the entire assembly in place. WARNING: If you use the adhesive mounting plate it may be extremely difficult to remove. If you remove the plate it could leave remnants of the adhesive pad or you could damage the surface it was attached to. Determine Plate Location Once attached, the plate's adhesive pad is difficult or impossible to remove. It's important to select the proper location before removing the adhesive backing. To select a mounting location for the adhesive pad, connect the GPS unit and mounting arm together. Then attach the mounting arm's suction cup to the adhesive plate. Hold the entire assembly at the desired location to check how it fits. Make sure the flex arm can be positioned for easy use. Attach the mounting arm's suction cup (left) to the adhesive plate. The flexible suction cup mount (right) locked to the adhesive plate. 5 Next, power the unit up and make sure the unit can lock on to satellites through the automobile's window. If the unit can not lock on, try another mounting location. When you have found a suitable mounting location, make sure the mounting surface is free of dirt and oil. Release the plate from the suction cup by flipping the locking lever and pulling the suction release tab. Peel off the adhesive pad's paper backing. Position the plate over the spot and press down firmly, maintaining pressure for 20 seconds to ensure the adhesive bonds securely. You can now attach the suction cup mount and GPS to the plate. Caution: Do not leave this unit unattended on an automobile dashboard. When your car is parked and the GPS is not in use, protect it from theft and heat by storing it in an unobtrusive location away from direct sunlight. In warm seasons the temperature on a car's unventilated or non air-conditioned dash can become hot enough to prevent the GPS unit from operating. Long Term Storage When the GPS is not in use for an extended period of time we recommend bringing it indoors and storing it at room temperature or in some location with a temperature range of 60º to 90º F. GPS unit centered on dashboard. This photo was taken at passenger eye level. Notice how the unit was placed so that it does not obstruct the view of the road ahead through the windshield. Map Mode Operation The unit's map screen is the main display mode. It shows your location and surroundings. A black arrow icon represents your position onscreen. The arrow always points in the direction you are traveling. 6 While the unit is tracking your position, the black arrow icon remains in the center of the map screen. The map screen scrolls and the map changes. If you pass under a highway you will see the highway on the map screen approach the arrow icon then scroll behind even as the highway overpass dwindles in your rear-view mirror.
