Set up the Acer c500 Series Pocket PC Travel
Companion in your vehicle
The Acer c500 Series comes with a car pedestal and a car charger with which you can
set up your device in your vehicle. You can choose to position the car pedestal on the
windshield using the suction cup, or on the dashboard using the self adhesive disc
connector.
NOTE: Switch off WLAN and Bluetooth before using the GPS navigation system.
NOTE: Some countries prohibit the mounting of any electronic device in any location on the
vehicle dashboard. Be sure to check your local laws for acceptable mounting areas before
installing the car mount bracket.
NOTE: Some newer vehicle models may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the
windshield. This may in some cases obstruct the GPS signal reception. If you encounter this
problem in your vehicle, you need to purchase an external GPS antenna. For more
information, contact your local Acer dealer.
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that users remove their valuables when leaving the car,
including this navigation device.
Car pedestal installation reminders
Install the car pedestal on a surface of your vehicle:
• That is smooth, flat and free of dirt and oil
• Where the driver can easily view/reach it without taking his/her eyes too far
off the road
• Where the device will not obscure car controls nor restrict the driver's view of
the road
• Far from the air bag deployment area
Set up the device in your vehicle
This section shows how to install the car pedestal in your vehicle’s windshield using
the suction cup.
1 Clean the mounting surface with a glass cleaner and a clean cotton cloth.
2 If the ambient temperature is below 15 °C (60 °F) warm the mounting area and
the suction cup (e.g. with a hair dryer) to ensure a strong suction bond.
3 Install the car pedestal on the selected area.
