Precautions and Notices

For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving. Use this product prudently. The product is intended for use solely as a navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance, location or topography. The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user's responsibility to follow the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads. When you get out of the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard subjected to direct sunlight. Overheating of the battery can cause malfunction and/or danger. GPS is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible for the performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS system can affect the accuracy of all GPS equipments. GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not available. A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is needed to determine current GPS position. Signal reception can be affected by situations such as bad weather or dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings). Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception of satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable. A car holder is needed when using the device in a car. Be sure that you place the device in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver's view, or deployment of airbags.

HOW TO FLASH THE ROM OF AN AIRIS T920A.
(an particularly the Windows CE 4.2 OS partition)
Warning Any flashing is a risky business, so proceed with caution. Any hardware damage or data loss is under your own responsibility.
This tutorial has been validated only with the R06.4.621.0426 firmware bootloader version.
Screenshots of a bricked AIRIS T920
Symptoms: When switching the device on, the screen is blanked during 3 sec. then shows the boot loader version, then the device is totally frozen and Active sync is useless. Solution: Rinstall Windows CE 4.2
Here is the procedure: 1- Get an SD card and have it formatted in FAT16 (not FAT32 !). Use SD Card Formatter or WinXP's own format utility. 2- Download this flashable file from http://hpcmonex.net/roms/winceimgair.zip Unzip it in any directory. From there, copy the winceimg.cks and winceimg.bin files to the said SD card. 3- While the PNA is unpowered, insert the SD card in its slot and then check that you're using an external power supply or at least a fully charged internal battery. 4- Switch the PNA on with the hardware switch button at the bottom of the device; at the same time, depress the soft reset button (through the small hole at the bottom of the device),
5- At the WINCE upgrade scroll down the selection cursor til 1=WINCE by SD/MMC (see [IMAGE 1]) by depressing the big black standby button on the right side of the device once. 6- Depress "soft reset" to validate your choice and start the flashing procedure
WARNING- The device must remain ON during the procedure, do not mess with the power supply.
