▲
To protect against the risk of accidents for you or other drivers, do not operate the
!
GPS device while you are driving.
▲
Only look at the screen if the current driving conditions allow you do to so in
!
complete safety. Do not watch it while driving if using the ArchOS in the regular
multimedia or video mode. Playing media files while mounted to your windshield
or within view of the driver may be illegal. Inform yourself about local "driver dis-
traction" laws and obey them.
▲
circulation signs and indicators on the roadway have absolute priority over GPS
!
navigational instructions.
▲
Only mount the GPS in such a way that is does not impede your ability to control
!
your vehicle as normal. Note that humidity, temperature, and time play a role in the
adhesive properties of the suction cup. The mounting area should be at least 15°
centigrade (60° Fahrenheit) for a secure mount. Security also includes placing or
running cables in a safe manner and which will not get entangled in the steering
wheel or other movable controls. Do no mount the device such that it could cause
personal harm even in the case of an accident (in front of an airbag for example).
▲
Because the GPS cannot know all road changes, do not rely solely on GPS infor-
!
mation, for example, the speed limit of the current road.
▲
Do not rely solely on the voice commands to guide you along your route. The
!
timing of the voice commands such as "Turn right" or "Turn left" will be made in
varying distances in advance of the calculated route's turns. This voice command
could coincidentally be made while there is another street directly available to
you. Or, the voice command may come later than that which allows you to safely
manoeuvre your vehicle to make the turn. Immediately obeying such a command
could require you to make a brisk and dangerous manoeuvre which could cause
harm to yourself or other drivers.
▲
Unplug the power cable from your cigarette lighter when the car is parked. Your
!
GPS will continue to consume energy and could discharge your car battery if left
for an extended period.
