Installing the navigation unit
ŞChoose the installation location carefully so that the
unit will not interfere with normal driving operations.
ŞAvoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt,
excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in
direct sunlight or near heater ducts.
ŞUse only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe
and secure installation.
Installation in the glove compartment
Before installation, clean the attachment surface.
1 Select a location in the glove compartment that
allows easy insertion/ejection of the map data
memory ʔ to/from the unit ʓ.
2 Attach the hook fasteners ʕ to the bottom of the
unit, and the loop fasteners ʕ to the position
where the unit is to be installed, then install the
unit ʓ.
Notes
ŞCheck that the unit ʓ is securely fixed.
ŞMake sure the cords are not pinched by any part of the glove
compartment when it is being opened or closed.
Installing the GPS antenna (aerial)
ŞChoose a location where no obstacle blocks GPS
satellite reception so as to achieve best reception.
ŞMake sure the GPS antenna (aerial)  does not
interfere with the operation of car equipment.
ŞSome types of front windshield (windscreen) block
GPS satellite radio waves. If reception is poor when
the GPS antenna (aerial)  is installed inside the car,
install it outside.
1 Decide the installation location on the dashboard
or rear tray, then clean the attachment surface.
Choose a flat surface where:
– the GPS antenna (aerial)  can be positioned
horizontally.
– operation of the passenger-side airbag is not
impeded.
– GPS satellite reception is not blocked by anything
inside the car or the windshield (windscreen)
wipers.
2 Attach the mounting sheet , then attach the
GPS antenna (aerial)  on it.
Notes
ŞBe sure to use the mounting sheet , otherwise signal reception
may be poor.
ŞDo not install the GPS antenna (aerial)  close to other electrical
equipment, otherwise signal reception may be unstable.
ŞIf the surface of the mounting sheet  is cold, the double-sided
tape may not stick firmly. Warm up its surface with a hair dryer, etc.,
before applying the tape.
ŞIf there is no flat surface on which to install the GPS antenna (aerial)
, bend the mounting sheet  to fit a curved surface before
installing.
