10.1 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS

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

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

1Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.

2Do not place where air bags could deploy.

3Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the device in the holder.

•Please 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.
