Important safety and
legal information
Please read the following information to ensure safe use of the GPS
Navigator.
Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that
provides location and timing information around the globe. GPS is
operated and controlled under the sole responsibility of the
Government of the United States of America, which is responsible for
its availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availability and
accuracy may impact the operation of your GPS receiver.
Environmental conditions will affect the operation of your GPS
receiver. TomTom B.V. and Palm cannot accept any liability for the
availability and accuracy of GPS.
Use With Care
Use of a GPS receiver for navigation does not by any means
substitute for the need to drive with due care and attention.
WARNING!
Do not mount the GPS Navigator where the driver's field of vision is
obscured or where airbags may deploy, and do not place it on the
dashboard without securing it reliably. Do not mount the unit or route
the cables in such a way as to interfere with control of the vehicle.
Failure to follow these guidelines could result in an accident or
collision resulting in serious injury or death.
Drive safely using information from street signs and landmarks in
addition to the GPS Navigator. Do not become distracted by the GPS
Navigator while operating the vehicle. Use voice prompts to minimize
the need to look at the display. Do not input destinations or access
other functions that take time to complete unless the vehicle is safely
stopped. Make all settings before departing or pull off the road in a
safe and legal manner if changes need to be made.
CAUTION
Use GPS Navigator only as an aid to navigation. It is not designed for
any use requiring precise measurements. The Global Positioning
System (GPS) is operated by the government of the United States of
America and is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy
and performance of this GPS equipment.
NOTICE TO DRIVERS
When using this product you must obey your local vehicle codes.
Some vehicle codes restrict any object or material from being placed,
displayed, installed, affixed, or applied upon the windshield or side or
rear windows. Where such codes exist, when using this product, the
suction cup mount pad should be used instead of attaching the
mount directly to the vehicle windshield or side or rear windows.
Palm is not responsible for any damages, fines, or penalties that may
result from disregarding this notice.
Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many
hospitals, and in many other locations. The GPS receiver must not be
used in these environments.
Heat-Reflective Shields
Some newer-model vehicles may have a heat-reflective shield
embedded in the windshield, which may prevent proper GPS signal
reception if the receiver is placed behind the windshield. To enable
proper reception:
• Place the receiver in a different position, or
• Place the receiver behind the rearview mirror, where many
vehicles have an opening in the heat reflective shield, as
indicated by a black outline.
Installation, Use, and Maintenance
IMPORTANT Do not attempt to service this product yourself. Do
not open, puncture, or disassemble the product.
In order for the GPS receiver to work properly, make sure that the
receiver has an unobstructed view of the sky. Protect the receiver
