Your Navman uses a Lithium-ion battery. It is important to follow the guidelines set out regarding this
Electronic devices using a lithium – ion battery such as Mobile phones, GPSs and cameras are designed
to operate at a temperature range of approximately 0°C to 50°C. Beyond these temperature limits,
there may be a risk of battery failure, when these electronic goods are exposed to extreme heat
conditions for long periods.
It is recommended that you do not use your Navman in a humid, wet and/or corrosive environment.
Do not put, store or leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in
strong direct sunlight and do not expose it to temperatures over 60°C (140°F). Failure to follow
these guidelines may cause the Lithium-ion battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite and
cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and
you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention
immediately. For safety reasons, and to prolong the lifetime of the battery, your Navman unit should not
be connected at low (below 0°C/32°F) or high (over 45°C/113°F) temperatures.
THE LITHIUM-ION BATTERY CONTAINED IN THE PRODUCT MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED
It is highly recommended you use your Navman only WITH AC ADAPTER (HOME CHARGER) OR THE
SUPPLIED DC VEHICLE POWER ADAPTER.
For more information on how to recycle your old electronic devices, please contact your local council
office. You can also visit www.navman.com.au / www.navman.co.nz to view our latest trade-in offers.
