or within view of the driver may be illegal. Inform yourself about local “driver distraction” laws and obey them.
Circulation signs and indicators on the roadway have absolute priority over GPS
navigational instructions.
!
Only mount the GPS in such a way that is does not impede your ability to control
your vehicle as normal. Note that humidity, temperature, and time play a role in the
!
adhesive properties of the suction cup. The mounting area should be at least 15°
centigrade (60° Fahrenheit) for a secure mount. Security also includes placing or
running cables in a safe manner and which will not get entangled in the steering
wheel or other movable controls. Do no mount the device such that it could cause
personal harm even in the case of an accident (in front of an airbag for example).

Because the GPS cannot know all road changes, do not rely solely on GPS information, for example, the speed limit of the current road.
Do not rely solely on the voice commands to guide you along your route. The
timing of the voice commands such as “Turn right” or “Turn left” will be made in
varying distances in advance of the calculated route’s turns. This voice command
could coincidentally be made while there is another street directly available to
you. Or, the voice command may come later than that which allows you to safely
manoeuvre your vehicle to make the turn. Immediately obeying such a command
could require you to make a brisk and dangerous manoeuvre which could cause
harm to yourself or other drivers.
Unplug the power cable from your cigarette lighter when the car is parked. Your
GPS will continue to consume energy and could discharge your car battery if left
for an extended period.

List of GPS components included in the package:
The installation DVD: before setting up the GPS in your car, you need to run this DVD which will
guide you through the installation of the maps and latest software onto your ARCHOS player.
The in-car holder: it contains a GPS receiver which will send the GPS signal to your ARCHOS
player. Therefore, your player MUST be mounted on the in-car holder, so that it can locate
your position and help you get to your destination.
4 pairs of rubber spacers: to adapt best to your ARCHOS player, so that it is held tight by the
in-car holder. See section 2.2.
The car power adapter: in order for the GPS to function, the power adapter MUST be con-
nected to the in-car holder and to the cigarette lighter.
2 ARCHOS connection cables (one for the ARCHOS 605 and one for next generation devices): in order for the
GPS to function, this cable MUST be connected to the in-car holder and to the ARCHOS player.
The TMC (Trafc Message Channel) antenna: in order to use the trafc information functionality
on your ARCHOS GPS. See chapter 6. Other Functions. If you have purchased the GPS in-car
holder as an accessory, this function is not available.

This DVD installation is not needed if you have purchased the bundled version (the version which includes an ARCHOS
player & a GPS in-car holder). In this case, the software and maps have already been installed and activated on the
device. However, the DVD can be used later for reinstallation.
Before even setting up the GPS in your car, you need to run the installation DVD on
•
your computer (internet connection required).
This DVD will guide you through the installation and activation of the maps as well as
•
the installation of the latest software(s). If the installer does not launch automatically
after inserting the DVD, explore the DVD and launch it manually.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

The MAP CODE (written on the sleeve of the DVD) will be needed during installation (and reinstallation).

GPS signal reception is highly dependent upon optimal in-car holder placement, vehicle features such as heat reective
windshields, and the surrounding environment such as mountains and high buildings.
INSTALLING THE RUBBER ADAPTERS
For the ARCHOS 605 30Gb and 4Gb, use the spacers labeled

WHERE TO PLACE YOUR GPS?
Find a clean, safe mounting area on your windshield. As the GPS reception antenna is located under
•
the suction cup, placing the holder on a surface other than the windshield will yield poor reception.
If you have difculties with reception, check your car manual to see if you have a heat reective

windshield which may interfere with GPS reception. There may be areas that do not have this property and also allow the safe mounting of the in-car holder.

vous utilisez le lecteur ARCHOS dans son mode multimédia ou vidéo classique. Il
est possible que la lecture de chiers multimédias soit interdite lorsque l’appareil
est xé sur votre pare-brise ou lorsqu’il est dans le champ de vision du conducteur.
Informez-vous et respectez la législation locale sur la vigilance au volant
et sur les éléments susceptibles de distraire l’attention du conducteur.
Vous devez accorder une priorité absolue au respect des panneaux de signalisa-
tion routière par rapport aux instructions de navigation GPS.

Fixez le GPS de manière à ce qu’il n’entrave pas votre aptitude à garder le

une température d’au moins 15° centigrades. Veillez également à disposer et
acheminer les câbles de manière sécurisée, en vous assurant qu’ils ne puissent

même en cas d’accident (devant un airbag par exemple).

Dans la mesure où le GPS ne peut intégrer toutes les modications routières,
ne vous ez pas uniquement à ses indications (limitations de vitesse sur la route
actuelle, par exemple).
Ne vous ez pas uniquement aux instructions vocales pour vous indiquer votre
itinéraire. Les instructions vocales (par exemple « tournez à droite » ou « tournez à gauche ») vous sont données à des distances variables en amont des
changements de direction de la route calculée. Il est donc possible qu’une telle
instruction soit donnée au moment même où vous approchez d’une autre rue.
Ou encore, que l’instruction vocale soit donnée trop tard pour vous permettre
d’effectuer ce changement de direction en toute sécurité. Le fait de suivre cette
instruction dans de telles conditions peut vous amener à effectuer une manœu-
vre brusque, mettant en danger votre sécurité et celle des autres conducteurs.
Débranchez le câble d’alimentation de votre allume-cigare lorsque votre véhicule est à l’arrêt. Dans le cas contraire, votre GPS continuerait à consommer de
l’énergie et pourrait décharger la batterie de votre véhicule s’il restait branché
pour une durée prolongée.
