Getting Started
Congratulations on your purchase of the Nextar Navigation System. Your Nextar
Navigation System can guide you to the destination of your choice using signals from
Global Positioning Satellites (GPS) orbiting the earth.
There are 24 GPS satellites orbiting the earth. A GPS device can calculate your position
on the earth if it can receive signals from at least three of these satellites. When it
receives at least four signals, a GPS device can also calculate your altitude (height above
sea level).
You can start using your Nextar Navigation System by simply mounting the holder on your
car's windshield or dash, plugging in the charger, and turning it on.
For your safety and the safety of others, please do not operate the system while driving. It
is dangerous to do so. When you want to enter an address or change a setting, please
pull over and park the car in a safe area first. You should always pay full attention to the
road and use the system only as an aid, by taking only glances at a time, and listening to
the voice prompts.
An inexperienced driver should NOT use the system.
UV-protected Windshield
UV-protected windshield in certain vehicles reflects UV-rays as well as satellite signals.
Although the Nextar Navigation System is equipped with high sensitivity GPS receiver,
the acquisition time is drastically affected. It is not recommended to use Nextar Navigation
System in vehicles with UV-protected windshield.
Theft
As it is dangerous to leave any valuable item visible in a parked car, portable navigation
systems have been targets in many theft crimes. Please store the Nextar Navigation
System in a non-visible area or carry it with you, after parking the car.
