HARGING THE BATTERY

!

Attention: It can be necessary to recharge the battery for some time initially before it is possible to run through the initial installation, according to the state of charging of the battery installed.

You have different possibilities to charge the battery of your navigation system:

• By means of the car adapter

• With the help of the AC adapter

Please pay attention to the following notes when handling the battery:

• The charging status display lights orange until the navigation system is charged. Do not interrupt the charging process before the battery is fully charged. This may take a few hours.

The navigation system is fully charged if the charging display lights green.

Note: You can use the navigation system during the charging process, but the power supply must not be interrupted during initial set-up.

• Leave the mains adapter connected to the navigation system for around 24 hours, so that the backup battery also charges-up fully.

• You can leave the main adapter connected, and this is very handy for continuous operation. However, the mains adapter also requires power even when it is not charging up the battery of the navigation system.

• The battery will also be charging if the main switch is at the OFF position.

TARTING THE NAVIGATION SOFTWARE

i i

Note: The memory card must always be inserted in the device while the navigation system is being used.

It will be necessary to carry out a Soft Reset to restart the navigation system if the memory card has been removed, only for a short time, while the system was being used (see page 25). This Reset will take place automatically, according to the navigation system.

1. Switch on your navigation system.

2. The Navigation software will start automatically or after clicking on the Navigation control button on the main screen, according to the version.

3. Press on the button for entering the destination and enter the address of your navigation destination. Then start the navigation by clicking on Navigate. You will receive the route information on the screen, augmented by language statements, after a short time, if the satellite reception is adequate.

Further information regarding the navigation software can be found in the comprehensive manual on your navigation

CD(s). This is a pdf-file you can read and print with the any Acrobat Reader.

Note: The GPS-receiver will require some minutes for initialization when deployed for the first time.

Even when GPS signal reception is indicated the navigation could be imprecise. In all future instances it will take about 30-60 seconds until a correct GPSsignal is available, sufficient “sight” of the satellite is a prerequisite.

GPS (G

LOBAL

P

OSITIONING

S

YSTEM

)

GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position.

With the help of 24 satellites revolving around the earth, it is possible to determine your position on earth with the accuracy of a few meters. The satellite signals are received by the antenna of the built-in GPS receiver, which must have a "line of sight" to at least 4 of these.

i

Note: By limited line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in woods or also in vehicles with metal-coated windows) it is not possible to determine the position. The satellite reception however automatically picks up again as soon as the obstacle has been passed and there line of sight is reestablished again.

Moving slowly (e.g. slow walking) also limits the accuracy of the navigation.

The GPS receiver consumes additional power. This is especially of concern, when running on batteries. To conserve power do not turn on the GPS receiver unnecessarily. Also terminate the Navigation Software, if it is not needed or satellite reception is not possible for a longer period, for this reason. However, you can also switch the device off by means of the On/Off switch in the case of a shorter interruption to your journey. Pressing the same switch again will activate a restart. The GPS receiver will also be reactivated at the same time, if navigation software is still active.

Here, it can take a short time for the position to be updated again, according to the reception situation.

i

Note: Please note, that your appliance is preset to

not shut down automatically after a few minutes without activity. You can change this preset in the Settings mode. If the GPS receiver has not been active for some hours, it must orientate itself again. This process may take a while.

ESSAGE

)

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a digital radio data service that functions in a similar way to RDS and is used to transmit disruptions to traffic to a suitable reception device.

The traffic information is continuously transmitted across FM.

The user is less dependent on the half-hourly broadcast traffic information, because the signal is continuously transmitted. Apart from this, important information, as in the case of people driving on the wrong side of the road for example, can be passed on immediately.

The transmission is planned for the whole of Europe and is already offered by radio transmitters in many countries. The precision of the TMC messages can deviate greatly according to the country.

Please proceed as follows, in order to connect your TMC receiver to your navigation system.

1. Connect the mini-USB plug to the mini-USB connection of your device.

2. Insert the jack plug of the TMC receiver into the mains power supply connection.

3. Connect the projecting antenna to the TMC receiver and attach that antenna with the aid of the suckers, at the edge of your windscreen, for example.

4. Connect the TMC receiver to the car adapter cable after you have attached the TMC receiver to your navigation system.

Your navigation system will now be able to receive traffic information through the TMC receiver and thus to avoid potential disruptions to traffic.
