1.3 Before using your RoadMentor
Your RoadMentor is a compact and portable device that can be easily installed and
removed in a matter of seconds, allowing you to take it anywhere. For safety
reasons, you should secure your RoadMentor to the Vehicle Mounting Shaft that is
included, which can be mounted either on the vehicle dashboard or on the
windscreen. An Anti-Slip Mat has been provided to allow you to place your
RoadMentor anywhere securely.
With Mounting Shaft Support Standing Independently
Caution: Do not place your RoadMentor where it is likely to interfere with the
controls of the vehicle or obstruct your view of the surroundings. Do not place your
RoadMentor in places where it is likely to cause personal injury and/or property
damage in the event of an accident. Do not place your RoadMentor unsecured.
8
Caution: Do not remove the SD card at any time while your RoadMentor is running.
Doing so may corrupt the data that is stored within the SD card. Also, the switch of
the SD card should be in unlock position, as shown below, which makes the SD card
writeable by the navigation software.
Unlock Lock
To insert the SD card, gently push it into the SD card slot with the label facing the
back of the RoadMentor as illustrated below.
To remove the memory card, gently push the edge of the card to release it and pull
it out of the SD card slot.
To optimize signal reception from satellites, mount your RoadMentor at a place
where it has a clear and unobstructed view of the sky, therefore improving the
accuracy of your coordinate and velocity readings.
Moreover, to prevent satellite signal obstruction, which is usually caused by thermal
filters or the roof of the car, it’s advisable for the RoadMentor users to install an
external antenna (PAT-1000). (Refer to “Using the external antenna with your
RoadMentor “ section)

1.4 Installing Your RoadMentor in your Vehicle
Step 1
Place the Suction End of the Vehicle Mounting Shaft on a flat surface in front of
the windshield glass that is unlikely to interfere with the controls of the vehicle,
obstruct the driver’s views, or may cause accidents/damage in the events of the
accidents.
Lift the Suction Lever up
Press the Suction Cup against the flat surface
Press the Suction Lever Down
Step 2
Secure your RoadMentor to the Vehicle Mounting Shaft. There is a Sliding
Slot behind your RoadMentor unit where you can slide the Vehicle
Mounting Shaft into.
Step 3
You can change the angle between the mounting shaft and your RoadMentor
unit to make it easier for you to operate and see. Simply bend it to the angle
you are most comfortable with.
Step 4
For additional stability, place your RoadMentor unit on the anti slip mat. The anti
slip mat is able to prevent slip on surfaces with slopes up to 70 degrees.
Step 5
Plug the power adaptor into your vehicle’s cigarette lighter receptacle, and the
power plug of the power adaptor into your RoadMentor’s power socket.

1.5 Using the external antenna with your RoadMentor (optional)
To prevent satellite signal obstruction, which is usually caused by thermal filters or
the roof of the car, it’s advisable for the RoadMentor users to install an external
antenna.
To install the PAT-1000 into your RoadMentor, just insert the antenna into the
MMCX connector at the back of RoadMentor as illustrated below. MMCX connector
Step 1: Turn the rear side of the RoadMentor toward yourself
and unpack the external antenna cable:
Step 2: Insert the connecting side of the external antenna
cable vertically into the MMCX connector of the
RoadMentor:
Step 3: Put the antenna side of the external antenna cable onto the roof out of the
automobile. Make sure that the magnet of the antenna side sticks to the roof.
