Use this product prudently. The product is intended to be used only as a navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance, location or topography. The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user's responsibility to follow the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads. When you get off the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard that is subject to direct sunlight. The overheating of the battery can cause malfunction and/or danger. GPS is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for the performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS system can affect the accuracy of all GPS equipments. GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not available. A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is needed to determine current GPS position. Signal reception can be affected by situations such as bad weather or dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings). The wireless devices might interfere the reception of satellite signals and cause the reception of the signal to be unstable. For better signal reception, it is recommended that you use car antenna (option). v A car holder is needed when using the device in car. It is recommended that you place the device in the appropriate place and avoid the areas as the figure shows. Do not mount where the driver's field of vision is blocked. Do not place unsecured on the dashboard. Do not mount in front of airbag panels. Do not mount in front of an airbag field of deployment. vi 1 Getting Started This chapter tells you step by step how to perform the initial startup and introduces the components of your device. 1.1 Performing the Initial Start Up 1. For Mio 268 Only: Insert the Mio Map card supplied with your device before the initial start up. 2. Pull out the stylus and use it to slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON (right) position. CAUTION: Always leave the ON/OFF switch in the ON position for normal operation. 1 3. The Switch Language screen pops up. For most countries, only one language is available. You can tap the left/right arrow to select a language only if your region of purchase is a country with multiple languages. Tap to continue. NOTE: If multiple languages are available, you can change the language later on by tapping Setting Switch Language. See Section 3.6 for more information. 4. The Time&Date screen appears asking you to set the Time, Date and Time zone for your system. Tap the arrow button to select the time, date and time zone. Then tap to continue. 2 NOTE: You can change the date, time and time zone later on by tapping Setting Date&Time. See Section 3.5 for more information. 5. For Mio 268 Only: Your device will install the navigation software from the Mio Map card to your device. Wait until the installation is completed. 6. The Home screen appears as shown below. You can now start using your device. 3 1.2 Connecting to AC Power and Charging the Battery Fully charge the battery before starting to use your device for the first time. 1. Plug the converter to the AC adapter. 2. Connect the DC end of the AC adapter to the bottom of your device. ( ) 3. Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a wall outlet. ( ) Charge Indicator Converter The charge indicator glows amber when charging is in progress. Do not disconnect your device from AC power until the battery is fully charged, as indicated by the amber indicator turning into green. This will take a couple of hours. NOTE: When you connect the AC adapter to charge the battery after the battery power has been fully depleted, wait for at least one minute before turning on the device. Depending on your region of purchase, the converter may not look exactly the same as the picture shown. 4 1.3 Using Your Device in a Vehicle A car holder and a car charger are supplied with your device. Using the Car Holder CAUTION: Select an appropriate location for the car holder. Never place the holder where the driver's field of vision is blocked. If the car's windshield has window tint, it is recommended that you use a car antenna (optional) to route the antenna to the top of the car through the window. When closing the car window, be careful not to pinch the antenna. (For a car with the anti-jam design, the window will automatically leave space.) The car holder consists of a bracket and a stand. Use the car holder to fix the device near the windshield. (See the document supplied with the car holder for the installation instruction.) NOTE: This car holder shown is an example only. Your car holder may not look exactly the same as this one. 5 Connecting the Car Charger The car charger supplies power to your device when you are using the device in a car. CAUTION: To protect your device against sudden current, connect the car charger only after the car engine has been started. 1. Connect one end of the car charger to the power connector of your device. 2. Connect the other end to the cigarette lighter in the car. The indicator on the car charger lights in green to indicate that power is being supplied to your device.
