Safety Instructions
Please read this section carefully and follow all the instructions
given. This will help ensure reliable operation and extend the service life for your appliance.
Keep the packaging and the user instructions for future reference
or inquiries at a later date. If you pass the article on to another
person, you must pass on these instructions.
• Never allow children to play with electrical equipment
unsupervised. Children may not always correctly recognize
possible danger.
• Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from chil-
dren. The danger of suffocation could arise in the case
of misuse.
• Never open up the housing of the appliance or the power
adapter. These contain no user-serviceable parts. If the
housing is opened there is a danger to life from electric
shock.
• Do not place any objects on the appliance and do not exert
any pressure on the display. Otherwise there is a danger
that the screen will break.
• To avoid damage, do not touch the screen with sharp objects. Use only the stylus provided or another blunt implement. The device can also be operated with a finger in
many cases.
• There is a risk of injury if the display breaks. If this should
occur, use protective gloves to pack the broken parts and
contact customer support to arrange for disposal. Then
wash your hands with soap, since there is a possibility that
chemicals may have escaped.
Safety and Maintenance

Remove the power adapter from the outlet, switch the appliance
off immediately, or do not actually switch it on, and contact Customer Service...
... if the power adapter (optional) or the attached plug become
scorched or damaged.
... if the housing of the appliance or the power pack becomes
damaged or fluids leak into it. Components must be
checked by Customer Service in order to avoid damage!
Data Security
• Every time you update your data make backup copies on
an external storage medium. The supplier does not assume
liability for data loss or damage to data storage units, and
no claims can be accepted for damages resulting from the
loss of data or for consequential damages.
Operating Environment
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to damage to your
appliance. The guarantee will be excluded in such cases.
• Keep your navigation System and all connected devices
away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight, especially in the car.
• Make sure you protect your appliance from getting wet,
e.g. from rain and hail, at all times. Please pay attention
that moisture can even build up in a protective pouch because of condensation.
• Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking, such as can arise, for
example, in the case of transverse field intrusions.
• Avoid the device from releasing itself from its holder, for
example when braking. Install the device as vertically as
possible.
Repair
• Please contact our Service Center if you encounter technical problems with your appliance.
• In the event repair becomes necessary, please use only our
authorized Service Partners. You will find the address on
the back of your guarantee card.

English
Ambient temperature
• The appliance is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature of between 41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°C) and
at a relative humidity of between 10% and 90% (noncondensing).
• In the powered down state the appliance can be stored at
between 32°F and 140°F (0°C and 60°C).
• Store the appliance in a safe location to avoid high temperatures (e.g. when parking or from direct sunlight).
Electromagnetic Compatibility
• When connecting additional or other components the “Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered to. Please also note that only screened cable (maximum 10ft) should be used with this appliance.
• For optimal performance, maintain a distance of at least
10 ft. from sources of high-frequency and magnetic interference (televisions, loudspeaker systems, mobile telephones and so on. This will help avoid malfunctions and
loss of data.
• Electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves during operation.
These emissions are harmless, but can interfere with other
devices operated in close proximity.
While our devices are tested and optimized for electromagnetic compliance in our laboratories, interference during
operation may still occur in the device itself and with other
devices in its proximity.
Should such interference occur, try to eliminate it by adjusting the positions of and the distances between the devices.
Before driving a car, please ensure that the electronic systems of the car are working properly.

Connection
When connecting your appliance be sure to correctly observe the
following instructions:
Power supply through Car Adapter
• The car adapter should only be connected to the lighter socket of a car (car battery = DC 12V , truck battery =
DC 24V !). If you are in any doubt about the power
source in your car, contact your car manufacturer.
Power supply through AC adapter (optional)
• The outlet must be in the vicinity of the appliance and must
be easily accessible.
• To disconnect your appliance from the power source, remove the mains adapter from the power socket.
• Only use the mains adapter on sockets at
AC 100–240 V~ AC, 50/60 Hz. If you are unsure about
the power supply to the place of use, ask the relevant energy supplier.
• Use only the power adapter provided with your appliance.
• Do not cover the power supply unit, in order to avoid dam-
age through unacceptable warming.
• Stop using the power supply unit if the housing or the feed
line to the device is damaged. Replace it with a power supply unit of the same type.
• For additional safety, we recommend the use of a surge
protector in order to protect your appliance from damage
from spikes or lighting strikes on the power network.
Cabling
• Arrange cables so that no-one can tread on them or trip
over them.

Initial Set-up
The following guides you step by step through the initial Set-up of
the navigation system.
Firstly, remove the foil for protecting the device during transportation from the display.
I. Charging 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.
Please pay attention to the following notes when handling the
battery:
• The charging status display will shine red until the naviga-
tion 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.
• You can use the navigation system during the charging
process, but the power supply must not be interrupted during initial set-up.
• Leave the external power supply connected to the navigation system for around 24 hours, so that the backup battery also charges-up fully.
• You can leave the external power supply 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.
• It can take several minutes until the device is ready to operate again, following the connection of the external power
supply, if the charging state of the battery is very low.
• The battery will even be charged while the device is
switched off completely.

1. Plug the jack (n) of the connection cable into the corre-
sponding receptor at the bottom of your navigation system.
2. Insert the power adapter (o) now into the cigarette lighter
socket and ensure, that it will not lose contact while driving. This could cause a malfunction.
