Before You Begin
Precautions and Notices

For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving.
Use this product prudently. The product is intended to be used only as a
navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance,
location or topography.
The calculated route is for reference only. It is the users responsibility to
follow the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads.
When you get off the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard that is
subject to direct sunlight. The overheating of the battery can cause
malfunction and/or danger.
GPS is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible
for the performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS system can affect the
accuracy of all GPS equipments.
GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When
you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not available.
A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is needed to determine current GPS
position. Signal reception can be affected by situations such as bad weather or
dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings).
Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception of
satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable.
ix
A car holder is needed when using the device in a car. Be sure to place the
device in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the drivers view, or
deployment of airbags.
Do not mount where the drivers Do not place unsecured

Part I. Basic Operations
Part I guides you through the process of getting your device running, familiarizes
you with the external components, and tells you how to customize system settings.
1
1 Getting Started
This chapter tells you step by step how to perform the initial startup and introduces
the components of your device.
1.1 Performing the Initial Start Up

1. Pull out the stylus and use it to slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON (right)
position.
CAUTION: Always leave the ON/OFF switch in the ON position for normal operation.
2. The Date&Time screen appears. Tap the appropriate arrow button to select
the time zone, date, and time. Then tap to continue.
3
NOTE: You can change the time zone, date, and time later on by tapping Setting
Date&Time. (See section 3.5 for details.)
3. The Home screen appears as shown below. You can now use your device.
4
1.2 Connecting to AC Power
Fully charge the battery before using your device for the first time.
NOTE: Depending on your region of purchase, the connector converter may not look exactly
the same as the picture shown.
1. Slide and click the connector converter onto the AC adapter.

2. Connect the adapter cable to the bottom of your device.
3. Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet.
Charge Indicator
Converter
The charge indicator glows amber when charging is in progress. Do not disconnect
your device from AC power until the battery is fully charged, when the charge
indicator turns green. This will take a couple of hours.
NOTE: For optimal performance of the lithium battery, take note of the following:
Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight).
There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You can charge the battery
before it is discharged.
If you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully charge the battery at
least once every two weeks. Over discharge of the battery can affect the charging
performance.
5
1.3 Using Your Device in a Vehicle
A car holder and a car charger are supplied with your device.
Using the Car Holder

CAUTION:
Select an appropriate location for the car holder. Never place the holder where the drivers
field of vision is blocked.
If the cars 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. When closing the
car window, be careful not to pinch the antenna cable. (Cars with an anti-jam window
design may automatically leave adequate space as needed.)
The car holder consists of a bracket and a flexible window mount. Use the car
holder to fix your device in a vehicle. (See the document supplied with the car
holder for the installation instruction.)
NOTE: Depending upon the specific model purchased, the car holder supplied with your
device may not look exactly the same as the picture shown.
6
Connecting the Car Charger
The car charger supplies power to your device when you are using the device in a
car.
CAUTION: To protect your device against sudden surges in current, connect the car charger
only after the car engine has been started.
1. Connect one end of the car charger to the power connector of your device.
2. Connect the other end to the cigarette lighter in the car to power and charge
your device. The indicator on the car charger lights in green to indicate that
power is being supplied to your device.

4 Mio Map Overview
Mio Map is a full-featured mobile satellite navigation software. Utilizing the

onboard GPS (Global Positioning System), Mio Map can pinpoint your location
and give accurate directions to your destinations with turn-by-turn, voice, and
visual guidance.
NOTE: In case the map data or Mio Map software in the hard drive is lost or damaged, you
can use the Recover tool to restore. (See section 11.5 for instructions.)
4.1 Navigation Terminology

Get familiar with some terminology used by Mio Map and you are ready to start.
GPS GPS (Global Positioning System) is a constellation of 24

well-spaced satellites that orbit the Earth and make it possible
for vehicles/people/assets enabled with GPS antennas to
pinpoint their location.
Route Route is a course calculated by Mio Map, starting from the

origin to the destination.
Origin Origin is your starting point for a route. It is either your GPS
position or a location selected by you on the map.
Destination Destination is your end point for a route.
Navi Navi is the menu that provides you with several ways of selecting
a location, including Address, Intersection, POI, Favorites,
Recent Routes and Coordinate Search.
Navigation Navigation is the process where Mio Map leads you from your
origin to your destination.
29
4.2 Starting Mio Map
1. Make sure that either the external power is available or the battery has power.
2. Make sure that the GPS antenna has a clear view of the sky.
3. Press the power button to turn on your device. If you see another program
screen (such as MP3 player), exit the program to go back to the Home screen.
4. Tap the Navigator button on the Home screen to start the Mio Map navigation
program.
NOTE: Whenever you start Mio Map, an agreement screen appears. Tap I Agree to use Mio
Map.
5. After the map is loaded, GPS positioning automatically starts. Once the system
has a fix on your position, you will see on the map screen a green arrow
indicating your current position.
NOTE:
For initial positioning, make sure that you remain at the same spot with a clear view of the
sky. The GPS may take a few minutes to find its current location initially.
To check the current GPS status, you can press the Navigation Settings button
once and tap System GPS Status. (See Section 9.2 for further information.)

Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce the
risk of damage to your device.
Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for
extended periods of time.
Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on your device.
Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.
Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes. This
could cause moisture condensation inside the unit, which could damage your
device. In the event of moisture condensation, allow the device to dry out
completely before use.
Take care not to sit on the device. We advise not to carry the device in ones
back pocket for that reason.
The screen surface can easily be scratched. Use only the stylus to tap on the
screen. Avoid touching it with your fingers, pens, pencils or any other sharp
objects. Non-adhesive generic screen protectors designed specifically for use
on portable devices with LCD panels may be used to help protect the screen
from minor scratches.
Never clean your device with it powered on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth
moistened with water to wipe the screen and the exterior of your device.
Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
