QUICK START GUIDE

Charging the Battery

Before using your PND for the first time, we recommend you charge the unit for 5 hours via the mains charger, or until the charge light turns green.

Plug the USB cable or mains/car charger into the USB socket socket However the

USB cable charging by PC will take longer time and will not fully charge up the battery to

FULL if the battery level is too low.

The charging indicator on the front of the unit will light up red. When the unit is fully charged the red light will turn green.

When you use the PND in your car, we recommend that you always use the car charger in order to maintain the battery level.

If you have a MicroSD memory Card, you may install it refer to the picture

(below)

Switch the unit off first before installing or removing the MicroSD card.

When installing it can only be fitted one way – the contacts should be facing away from you and the cut-off corner at the top (as shown above). Slide the card in and push it in so that it clicks into place.

Once the card is installed it does not need to be removed.

If you need to remove the card, push the card in and it will eject from the slot.

Car Adapter

NAVIGATION

1 Introduction

You have chosen a cutting-edge navigation system. Congratulations! Please enjoy using it. This navigation system leads you straight to your destination, whether you are travelling by car or on foot. You can navigate and plan your route with an easy-to-use and intuitive interface, just by using your finger. You can also use this application to plan your trip to suit your personal preferences and interests and to save interesting destinations before you set off on your journey.

This manual leads you through the main features of the system.

1.1 GPS connection

Your navigation device uses GPS technology for navigation. The device receives signals from a number of GPS satellites in order to determine your current position.

• Place your navigation device in a location with an unobstructed view to the sky to set up your first satellite connection. In the car this will usually mean mounting the unit on the lower part of the windscreen.

Note; It may take up to 10 minutes to establish the first connection. Subsequent connections will be faster (30 seconds to 1 minute), but if you have not used the unit for several days or are far away from the last location where you used the unit, it may take up to 10 minutes again to find a strong signal.

5 Navigation

There are two modes of navigation; Free navigation and Route Navigation.

5.2 Route Navigation

In route navigation the unit directs you via the map and with spoken directions to your chosen destination. In order to plan a route you need to have a valid GPS signal, this can be easily checked by looking at the GPS reception screen on the free navigation screen. If the icon is greyed out then there is no valid signal, if the icon is white with green signal waves then you have a valid GPS signal and navigation is possible.

From the Free Navi Menu screen select Go to, this allows you to enter your destination.
