Caring for your Cyclo
Taking good care of your Cyclo will ensure trouble-free
operation and reduce the risk of damage to your Cyclo:
• Keep the device away from excessive moisture and
extreme temperatures.
• Avoid exposing the device to direct sunlight or strong
ultraviolet light for extended periods of time.
• Do not place anything on top of the device or drop objects
on the device.
• Do not drop the device or subject it to severe shock.
• Do not subject the device to sudden and severe
temperature changes. This could cause moisture
condensation inside the unit, which could damage the
device. In the event of moisture condensation, allow the
device to dry out completely before use.
• The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching
it with 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 the device when it is turned on. Use a soft, lint-
free cloth to wipe the screen and the exterior of the device.
• Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
• Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any
modifications to the device. Disassembly, modification or
any attempt at repair could cause damage to the device
and even bodily injury or property damage and will void any
warranty.
• Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive
materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts
or accessories.
• Do not expose the device to extreme heat or direct sunlight
for prolonged periods. Overheating may damage the device.
Troubleshooting
Problem Solution
The device does not turn
on when using battery
power.
The remaining battery power may be too low to run
the device. Charge the battery.
Screen responds slowly. Make sure that the device is not running out of battery
power. If the problem still persists, restart the device.
Screen freezes. Restart the device.
If the device stops responding, you may need to shut
down the device by pressing and holding the POWER
button for 8 seconds in order to force a device reboot.
Screen is hard to read. Make sure that the backlight of the display is set to a
high-enough brightness.

If you encounter a problem you cannot solve, contact an authorised
service centre for assistance.

What is GPS?
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is available at any
time, free of charge, and is accurate to within 5m (15ft).
GPS navigation is made possible by a network of satellites
that orbit the Earth at around 20,200km (12,552mi). Each
satellite transmits a range of signals which are utilised by GPS
receivers, such as the device, to determine an exact location.
Although a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12
satellites at any time, only four signals are required to provide
a position or “GPS fix” (latitude and longitude), for vehicle
navigation systems.
The device receives GPS signals via the internal GPS antenna.
To guarantee the optimum GPS signal strength, ensure
the device is outdoors or in a vehicle outdoors, and has an
unobstructed view of the sky. GPS reception is not usually
affected by weather, however, very heavy rain or snow may
have a negative effect on your reception.
• It is your sole responsibility to place, secure and use the
device in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal
injury or property damage. Always observe safe driving
practices.
• On main roads, the distance to an exit calculated by
the device may be further than the distance shown on
road signs. Road signs show the distance to the start of
an exit while the device shows the distance to the next
intersection, i.e., the end of the exit ramp or road. To
prepare to exit a road, always follow distance information
on road signs.
• Mio products are designed to be used as an aid to safer
driving. Mio does not condone speeding or any other
failure to comply with your local traffic laws. It is your
responsibility to drive within the posted speed limit at all
times and to drive in a careful manner. Mio accepts NO
liability whatsoever for you receiving any speeding fines
or points on your license through using this device. Mio
does not guarantee the accuracy of the data contained
within this database either expressed or implied. In the
event you receive a fine or any other penalty for speeding
or contravention of any traffic law, or are involved in an
accident, Mio is not responsible for any damages of any
type. In some countries the data information regarding
speed limits may conflict with local law and/or regulations. It
is your responsibility to make sure that your use of the data
is in compliance with local laws and/or regulations. Usage
is at your own risk.
• Do not operate the device while driving or riding a bike.
Using this product does not change the requirement for a
driver or a bike rider to take full responsibility for his or her
behaviour. This responsibility includes observing all traffic
rules and regulations in order to avoid accidents, personal
injury or property damage.
IPX7
The IEC 60529/IPX7 is a European system of test specification
standards for classifying the degrees of protection provided by
the enclosures of electrical equipment. An IPX7 designation
means that the unit withstands immersion in one meter (approx
3ft) of still water for up to 30 minutes. Mio guarantees this grade
provided the battery door and all jack covers are properly and
securely closed. Mio Cyclo is not IPX8 grade; water-pressure
such as washing the unit with running water may cause damage
to the unit and voids warranty. Because of possible user
resealing error, this product is not warranted against waterproof
housing leakage or any resulting damage. Please make sure
the waterproof cover is tightly closed before using the product.
