9.1  Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS

If you install a GPS software on your phone, please follow these guidelines before and when using your phone as a GPS device.

Do not operate the GPS system while driving. The plotted GPS route is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with actual driving behavior.

Do not leave your phone in a vehicle or expose the phone to direct sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could cause damage to the phone or pose a risk to the vehicle.

When using the phone inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the phone securely in place. Avoid placing the phone in the areas shown in the following diagram:

  Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.   Do not place where air bags could deploy.

  Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the phone in the holder.

Use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.

The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.

Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in unstable signal reception.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.
