Hospitals and aircraft Do not use this product in hospitals or on aircraft. Mounting the unit Do not mount the SatNav system over airbags or in the area of airbag deployment. Do not mount the unit where it could interfere with the vehicles controls or safety devices. Do not mount the unit in an area where the driver or passenger could impact it in the event of an accident. Do not mount the unit in an area where the driver's vision could be impaired. Do not place the unit unsecured on the vehicles dashboard. Keep the unit away from sources of high frequency and electro / magnetic interference such as televisions, loudspeaker systems, CD players, mobile telephones etc. DO NOT leave the unit exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. When it is not in use take it with you or secure it in the glove compartment or boot. For security do not leave the unit or the windscreen mount on display when your vehicle is unattended. Re-chargeable batteries Batteries may leak or explode if not charged or handled correctly. Always observe the following precautions when handling batteries: Do not short out the terminals or attempt to dismantle the battery. Do not expose the battery to flames or excessive heat. Do not immerse in or expose the battery to water. Do not charge the battery in a hot environment. Lithium batteries do not need to be discharged, do not wait until the battery is depleted before recharging. When not in use for a long period, please charge the battery every two weeks to prevent excessive discharge affecting battery performance. DO NOT allow the battery to become completely discharged. This could result in all your saved data being deleted. Important This product requires satellite signals to function correctly. There may be occasions for example when you are in a building that navigation is not possible due to poor signal strength. This is normal for products of this type. Data security Make a back up copy of the data on the memory card. RAC does not accept liability for loss of data or damage to the data storage unit. No claims can be accepted for damages resulting from the loss of data or for consequential damages. DO NOT attempt to access the internal data stored on the unit via your computer. This will invalidate the guarantee. HELPLINE: 01302 720006 3 Safety Care of the SatNav unit Turn off the SatNav unit and remove the power plug and all other connecting cables before cleaning. Be careful when cleaning the display as it is easy to scratch. Do not use solvents, caustic or gaseous cleaners to clean the unit. Only use a soft lint-free cloth to clean the screen surface and the SatNav unit. Do not press down hard on the surface of the screen. Do not expose the screen to strong light or ultraviolet radiation. Do not tap on the screen too hard, a light touch is sufficient to activate the system. Tapping too hard on the screen could cause damage to the screen and will invalidate the guarantee. Important notice · This system only provides a navigational reference. Please do not use this system for any directional, distance, and geographic measurements. · The first GPS positioning should be performed at a single set point, wideopen area away from buildings. Positioning time will depend on the satellite signal strength and cloud levels; possibly taking up to 10 minutes. GPS (Global Positioning System) is the satellite system controlled by the United States of America Department of Defence. All maintenance and operations are also managed by the United States of America Department of Defence. Should the system be modified and adjusted, the precision and operation of GPS related systems might be affected. · Any wireless communication products (mobile phone, radio, speed detection unit etc.) might affect the GPS signal, resulting in a poor signal. For safety, please do not operate this system while driving a vehicle. Key in your destination and preferences before driving. · · 4 HELPLINE: 01302 720006 Getting started COMPONENTS AND CONTROLS 11 8 10 9 5 1 2 3 4 7 6 12 1 Touch Screen Displays system status or use the stylus directly on the screen to input data or select items.

Slot the card into the memory card slot located on the side of the unit making sure the contacts on the card point towards the rear of the SatNav unit. To remove the memory card press lightly on the top edge until it ejects. Remove the card taking care not to touch the contacts. Memory cards are very fragile, take care not to force the card or touch the contacts. The supplied memory card contains the digital map files that are required for the GPS navigational data. Do not delete these files. · When removing the memory card, please make sure the card is not reading data, or it will cause a system crash. · When operating, accidental removal of the memory card will result in an error message, please re-insert the memory card and reset the unit. Using the In-Vehicle Bracket The supplied in-vehicle bracket set can be suctioned securely on the front windscreen. Follow the procedures below to secure the bracket. Insert the SatNav unit into the mounting cradle. Flip up the antenna then position the two locating-slots on the underside of the SatNav unit into the corresponding tabs on the mounting cradle. Snap the upper side of the SatNav unit into the mounting cradle. FLEXIBLE MOUNTING ARM Assembling the In-Vehicle bracket Slot the suction bracket mounting plate into the mounting cradle. Tighten the locking nut to secure the mounting cradle into position. Ensure the windscreen of the vehicle is dust and grease free. Place the mounting bracket onto the windscreen in a safe and suitable position, Press in the button marked PRESS then push the plastic lever back and upwards to secure the mounting bracket to the window. 6 HELPLINE: 01302 720006 Getting started POWERING / CHARGING THE SATNAV The unit can be charged in 2 ways, either by recharging from a vehicles auxiliary socket or by using a mains charger. To power the SatNav unit from a vehicles auxiliary socket, plug one end of the 12v power cable into the d.c. socket on the SatNav unit and the other end into the vehicle auxiliary socket. The angle of the mounting bracket can be adjusted by slackening the adjuster knobs on the mounting bracket. Once you have adjusted the bracket re-tighten the adjuster knobs. When using the in-vehicle bracket, do not install in a location that will obscure the drivers view. NOTE: Some vehicles may have a heat reflective windscreen that can prevent GPS signals reaching the satellite navigation system. If your vehicle is fitted with a heat reflective windscreen you may need to use an external antenna. To recharge using a mains charger Plug one end of the mains charger cable into the d.c. socket on the SatNav unit then plug the charger into a power outlet. To maximise the life of the battery the first charge must fully charge the battery. Subsequent charges will be shorter. When charging starts, the charging indicator light will illuminate red, please wait for the charging to complete (this might take several hours). After charging is completed the indicator light will go out.
