CAUTION Do not leave the unit unattended on an automobile dashboard. When 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 can become hot enough to prevent the GPS unit from operating. When the GPS is not in use for an extended period of time we recommend bringing it indoors and storing it at room temperature. ! WARNING When mounting a GPS unit in an automobile you must avoid any installation that obscures instruments and controls or restricts the driver's view through the windows. Avoid placing the GPS where it could be propelled by an airbag. Some areas may restrict mounting any electronic device in any location on an automobile dash or windshield. Check local laws before using these mounts. Check the suction mount for adhesion each time you use the unit and reinstall it. This is a portable mounting device and the normal heating and cooling cycle of a car's interior can loosen the seal. A loose seal could allow the unit to fall or come loose during vehicle operations. Determine Your Position Before Traveling XOG must lock-on to multiple GPS satellites to determine your current position and navigate. This requires a clear view of the sky, unobstructed by structures or heavy foliage. 8 When you begin a trip, make sure XOG can "see" the sky and wait for it to determine a position before you start driving or walking. A question mark flashes over the current position arrow to indicate the unit has not calculated its position. XOG usually has good satellite reception through automobile windows. Some windshields have heat reflective properties or defrosters that block GPS signal reception. Consult your vehicle manufacturer to determine if your car has this special glass installed. If so, you may need to mount the unit near another window. Map Page The unit's map page displays where you are as well as your surroundings.
