Introduction	6

Dear Customer,

Congratulations on buying the TravelPilot DX-V. You can rest assured that you have made the right choice by buying the TravelPilot DX-V.

The TravelPilot DX-V is a reliable and easy-to-use navigation system that will lead you with precision through the traffic to your destination.

These operating instructions will take you step by step through the functions of the TravelPilot DX-V and will answer the most frequently asked questions. You will find further information on using these instructions in the section entitled “About these operating instructions”.

If you have any further questions or comments regarding the TravelPilot DX-V, please do not hesitate to call our telephone hotline or contact your Blaupunkt dealer. The international telephone hotline numbers are printed on the last page of these instructions.

We provide a manufacturer guarantee for our products bought within the EU. You can view the guarantee conditions at www.blaupunkt.de or ask for them directly at:

Blaupunkt GmbH

Hotline

Robert Bosch Str. 200

D-31139 Hildesheim

Notice regarding liability

Despite constant technical developments, the navigation system may in isolated cases provide incorrect or unoptimised navigation due to improper operation, changes to the traffic flow regulation, construction sites, traffic load, errors or missing information on the navigation data media or general calculation and positioning errors. Blaupunkt does not accept liability and does not provide compensation for any damages or other drawbacks arising from this.

General Information

About these operating instructions

These operating instructions were written to provide you with information on the operation and functions of your TravelPilot DX-V and to allow you to operate the equipment easily and correctly.

Please read these instructions carefully before you use your TravelPilot DX-V for the first time and keep them handy for future reference in the car.

To allow you to find information quickly and easily, the following icons have been used in these instructions to indicate the individual steps:

1. … This icon indicates steps you must perform in order to complete a function.

The way in which the equipment should react after you perform a function is indicated like this.

Plus Point: This indicates special information and tips on how to use the TravelPilot DX-V.

Note

If you decided in favour of the version equipped with the wide vision TV monitor, you will find separate operating instructions for the monitor enclosed.

Accessories

RC 09 infrared steering-wheel remote control

RC 09 infrared steering-wheel remote control allows you to conveniently operate the TravelPilot DX-V directly from the steering wheel.

TMC D-Namic tuner box

For dynamic navigation (automatic detours around traffic congestion), the TravelPilot DX-V must be connected to a TMC source (Traffic Message Channel). It is possible to purchase a “TMC D-Namic tuner box” as an accessory to receive TMC data.

General Information	8

You can also use the TMC data received by a Blaupunkt car radio. To find out which Blaupunkt car radios are equipped to receive TMC data and relay this information to the TravelPilot DX-V, please contact your Blaupunkt specialist dealer or ring the Blaupunkt telephone hotline. The hotline number is listed on the last page of these instructions.

How navigation works

Your TravelPilot DX-V uses GPS, a satellite-supported locating system, to determine the current position of the vehicle. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a system which can be used to reliably determine your location anywhere in the world. A “gyroscope” and the electronic speedometer signal are also used to track the vehicle’s movements. The TravelPilot DX-V navigation system compares this data with the data stored in digital form on the navigation CD-ROM and uses it to calculate the routes in route guidance.

If the TravelPilot DX-V is connected to a TMC source (“TMC D-Namic tuner box” or appropriately equipped car radio), it will be able to take the current traffic situation into account when calculating the route. For more information on TMC, please refer to the section on “Dynamic Route Guidance with TMC”.

Switching the unit on

If the TravelPilot DX-V has been properly connected to the vehicle ignition and continuous plus, the TravelPilot DX-V will switch on automatically when you start your vehicle.

General Information

Operating introduction

When the system is started for the first time, an operating introduction explaining the functions of the remote control will appear. Then you can select whether or not this introduction is shown each time the TravelPilot DX-V is switched on.

Plus Point: You can activate or deactivate the operating introduction at any time in the “Settings” menu. For more information, please refer to the section on “Settings”, “Switching the operating introduction on/off”.

Theft protection system

It is possible to activate a coding for your TravelPilot DX-V so that the TravelPilot DX-V cannot be operated after it has been disconnected from the battery (e.g. in the event that it is stolen).

If the coding is active, it will be necessary to enter the code number before the unit can be operated again after it has been disconnected from the battery. You will find the code number in the TravelPilot DX-V equipment passport. Never keep this passport in your vehicle!

For more information on activating/deactivating the coding and how to switch on coded equipment after it has been disconnected from the battery, please refer to the section on “Settings”, “Activating/deactivating the safety code”.

Plus Point: This electronic theft protection system prevents unauthorised persons from using the TravelPilot DX-V after it has been removed from the vehicle.

Switching off

For technical reasons it is not possible to switch off the TravelPilot DX-V computer. However, if required, you can switch off the display by pressing the blue button 5on the monitor. Spoken driving recommendations are played even if the display is switched off. The display can be switched on again by pressing the blue button 5once more.
