Notices 4.1 Global Positioning System The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated and maintained by the Government of the United States of America who are responsible for the availability and the accuracy of the system. Changes in the operation, availability and accuracy may affect the operation of your GPS receiver. 4.2 Aircraft and Hospitals Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft and in many hospitals. The APOS Wireless GPS receiver is a receiving and transmitting device with two antennass and should not be used in these environments. 4.3 Heat Reflective Shields Modern vehicles may have a heat reflective shield in the windshield, preventing proper GPS signal reception if the receiver is placed under the windshield. To get proper reception:

(a) Use an external antenna, or

(b) Place the receiver in a different position, or

(c) Attach the cradle to the windshield behind the rearview mirror, where many vehicles have an opening in the heat reflective shield, indicated by a black outline. 4.4 Important The information in this document is subject to change without notice. No liability shall be assumed for technical or editorial errors or omissions contained herein; nor for incidental or consequential damages resulting from the performance or use of this material.

Operation in low (below 0C/32F or high (over 40C/110F) temperatures will affect power supply efficiency and the ability to charge the battery. All Lithium-Ion batteries will experience power supply efficiency deterioration over time even if not used and have a limited life expectancy. Permanently powering the battery will reduce life expectancy. Do not use your product in a humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat source or in a high temperature location and do not expose it to temperature over 60C(140F). Failure to follow these guidelines may cause the Lithium-Ion battery to become hot, explode or ignite and cause injury and/or damage. THE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CONTAINED IN THE PRODUCT MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY. USE ONLY WITH SUPPLIED CHARGER(s) AND SUPPLIED AC ADAPTOR FOR BATTERY CHARGING. 4.6 FCC This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
