3. USE AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
3.1. ABOUT THE VIAMICHELIN PORTABLE GPS DEVICE
Your ViaMichelin portable GPS device is not waterproof. You should therefore take the necessary precautions to
protect it against the elements if you use it in a convertible car or on a motorcycle.
3.2. ABOUT THE SD CARD
Make sure that the ‘lock’ on your SD card not in the ‘locked’ position. This could
modify ViaMichelin Navigation operation: when in the ‘locked’ position, the content
of your SD card is protected but this prevents the ViaMichelin Navigation programmes
from recording the information required for correct software operation on the card.
Fig. 1 –SD card
Your SD card includes the data required to activate the DVD-ROM provided. Be careful not to damage it before
installing and activating your DVD-ROM, as this will make it impossible to retrieve or regenerate the data on the
memory card.
To overcome any problems encountered with your SD card, we strongly advise you to install the DVD-ROM
provided in your pack before using the ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS. You can thus take advantage of
advanced functions and maintenance tools of the ViaMichelin Navigation software using the applications
installed on your PC (integration of specific address files (or POIs
4
), regeneration of your SD card, customised
map partitioning, etc.).
Do not modify the content of the SD card without using the PC « Content Manager » application installed on
your PC.
The SD card can only be used on a single ViaMichelin portable GPS device. When you insert the SD card for the
first time on a PND, a digital fingerprint associated with the mapping will determine that this SD card has been
installed on this device. It cannot therefore be used on another PND unless it is reformatted.
Use the SD card provided with your ViaMichelin Navigation X-960 / X-970T only. Do not use it in other devices
(digital cameras, PDAs
5
or MP3s, for example).
3.3. ABOUT THE VIAMICHELIN DVD-ROM
The ViaMichelin Navigation DVD-ROM contains maintenance programs for the system as well as advanced
functions used for transfers with the ViaMichelin web site and files with personal saved items. We suggest you
install this DVD-ROM as soon as possible then return it to its pouch and store it in a safe place where it will not
be scratched or altered in any way.
3.4. ABOUT INSTALLING THE VIAMICHELIN PORTABLE GPS DEVICE IN YOUR VEHICLE
You are entirely responsible for the positioning and use of the “ViaMichelin Navigation” portable navigation
system and its accessories so that it neither obstructs the driver’s visibility nor hinders operation of your vehicle’s
security systems to avoid any risk of accident, injury or damage.

3.5. ABOUT THE SAFETY OF YOUR VIAMICHELIN PORTABLE GPS DEVICE IN YOUR VEHICLE
Your ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS device was designed to make roads safer: ViaMichelin services such
as warnings for dangerous bends, roads in poor condition, nearby schools, overtaking areas and fixed speed
cameras all contribute to greater personal safety.
If you have the SPEED CAMERA ALARMS feature on your ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS, you will receive
messages notifying you of speed-controlled areas, thus enabling you to adjust your speed.
Please note that ViaMichelin cannot guarantee the completeness and preciseness of these data at the time of
use of your system.
Before using the device, please become familiar with the laws and regulations relating to satellite positioning
and the use of the above-mentioned data in effect in the country in which you are driving.
The distances indicated by your ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS can differ slightly from those indicated on
the road signs. In the event of a discrepancy, always follow the directions displayed on the road signs.
ViaMichelin recommends you use these data taking into consideration the real context in which you are
travelling: the general condition of your vehicle, its equipment, your speed, the road surface, weather
conditions, etc.
Data (maps, routes, fixed speed cameras, traffic information, points of interest, etc.) are provided for
information purposes, and are subject to modification at any time. You are expected to check road signs when
you use satellite positioning, in particular for one-way streets and speed-limit signs. You must also follow the
Highway Code and road safety rules applicable in the country in which you are driving.
For more details on the installation of your GPS device in your car, refer to the installation poster included in the
box.
