• Do not damage any pipes, tubes, the fuel tank or
electric wiring when installing the unit, as fire or
accident may result. If you drill a hole in a car
panel, make sure that any hidden car parts will not
be damaged.
• Do not use or modify any nuts or bolts of critical
devices such as steering linkage, fuel supply or
braking systems. This can cause fire or an
accident.
• Take care to prevent cords or wires from getting
tangled or crimped in the moving portion of a seat
rail.
• For information about the polarity, battery voltage
and location of the airbag of your car, please
consult your car dealer.
Installing location
• Please install the unit in a safe place where:
– it does not obstruct the driver's view.
– it does not obstruct the operation of the airbag
system.
– it does not obstruct the operation of the car,
especially the steering wheel, shift lever, or
brake pedal.
– it is not subjected to heat/high temperature.
• Please consult a qualified technician or service
personnel if you cannot attach the cradle to the car
securely.
On GPS
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites
continuously emit signals for positioning anywhere
on the earth. As a GPS aerial receives these signals,
users can be informed of their location (latitude,
longitude and altitude). Information must be
received from 3 satellites in order to obtain two-
dimensional fixes (latitude and longitude), and 4
satellites are required for three-dimensional
positioning (latitude, longitude and altitude). As
GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Department
of Defense, a deliberate margin of error between a
few metres (a few feet) and 10 metres (32.8 feet)
exists. As a result, the GPS navigation system may
include an error of between 10 metres (32.8 feet)
and about 200 metres (656.2 feet), depending on the
circumstances.
As GPS information is obtained using signal from
satellites, it may be impossible or difficult to obtain
the information in the following locations:
• Tunnel or underground
• Under a highway
• Between high buildings
• Between tall trees with dense foliage
After the initial installation, park your car in a safe,
open place (no high buildings, etc.) for up to 20
minutes to allow for GPS signals to be received
before using the navigation system. The system
requires signals from a minimum of 3 GPS satellites
to calculate the current car position properly.
Note
It takes time to receive a GPS signal when switching
the unit ON after switching OFF the main power, after
the built-in battery is fully discharged, or after resetting
the unit.
