Mio A501 GPS Receiver User Manual


 
Getting Started 1-15
CAUTION:
After the suction cup is secured to the windshield, never try to pull or wriggle the
arm.
When placing the car holder, make sure that the device does not obstruct the
driver’s view, or interfere with the operation of vehicle airbags and safety devices.
Always adjust the device and the arm of the car holder for the best viewing angle
BEFORE driving. Avoid adjusting the device with one hand while driving.
When using the car holder, keep the car temperature in a normal range. If the
temperature gets too low, the car holder’s suction cup can harden and affect its
suction.
Loosen the locking tab first before removing the car holder.
To retain adhesion of the suction cup, detach and then re-attach the suction cup at
least once a month.
Do not place the device in front of car air heating output.
NOTE: If the car’s windshield is tinted with a reflective coating, an external antenna
(optional) may be needed to route the antenna to the top of the car through a window.
Connecting the Car Charger
CAUTION: To protect your device against sudden surges in current, connect the car
charger only after the car engine has been started.
The car charger supplies power to the device. Connect one end of the car
charger to the power connector of the device and the other end to the
cigarette lighter in the car.
