ATTENTION!
Important notes for safe usage
A
Operating the Navigation System while you are driving can distract your attention
from the road, and possibly cause an accident. Enter information into the system yourself
only when the vehicle is stopped.
A
The directions provided by the system are suggestions only. The driver is ultimately
responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore evaluate whether it is safe
to follow these directions. Always use good judgment and common sense.
A
Obey all traffic signs and laws while driving.
A
Only use the Navigation System when it is safe to do so. It is more important to keep
your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
A
Do not change system settings or enter destinations while driving. If a prolonged view
of the display is required, pull over in a safe and legal matter.
A
Keep away small articles from children. Store small articles (batteries, screws) in places
not accessible to children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
A
Do not disassemble or alter. Attempts to disassemble or alter may lead to an accident
and/or fire.
A
Due to constantly changing traffic conditions, we unfortunately cannot guarantee
100 % precision under all circumstances.
A
In some areas it is possible that not all information for a road is covered. For example
prohibited entry into pedestrian precincts, the driving direction of a one-way street or
turning restrictions are not available. In these areas the navigation system gives a warning.
Always obey road signs and traffic regulations.

Guidelines and recommendations for safe
use of the Navigation System
A
Glance at the display only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of
the screen is necessary, pull over and stop in a safe and legal manner.
A
Do not input destinations, change settings or access any functions requiring a
prolonged view of the display and/or remote control while you are driving. Pull over and
stop in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access the system.
A
Make certain that the volume level of the Navigation System is set to a level which still
allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency services.
A
The guiding advice provided by the Navigation System are suggestions only. The driver
is ultimately responsible for the safe operation of the vehicle and therefore evaluate
whether it is safe to follow these directions.
In case you decide not to follow the suggested route, the Navigation System will
automatically calculate a new route and provide new suggestions (automatic re-routing
function).
A
The Audiovox Navigation System (like all car navigation systems available today), is an
evolving technology. Under certain circumstances, the directions given by the system could
be inaccurate or conflict with current road conditions. New road maps or exit ramps not yet
available on the CD-ROM may present a conflict to the driver.
A
In case you need to find an emergency service do not use the Navigation System. It can
not be guaranteed that the used database CD contains all available emergency services in
your neighborhood. Use your own judgment and abilities to ask for directions in such a
situation.
A
The Navigation System does not take into account the relative safety of the suggested
routes. The suggested routes do not reflect road closures or construction, weight or height
restrictions, traffic or weather conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety
or timing of the routes. Use your personal judgment for verification of the suggested
routes. Use the alternative route function or the via point function to get better route
suggestions, or simply drive the preferred route and let the automatic re-routing function
calculate the preferred route.
A
Please take care that everybody using the Navigation System has access to these
directions for use and reads the given recommendations and guidelines carefully before the
first use of the system.
A
Remember to wear your seat belt at all times when the car is in motion. This will help
you avoid impact with anything in the car’s interior.
A
The remote control contains batteries. Do not expose the remote control to direct sun
light and do not put it in your pockets. Exposure to high temperature may cause leakage of
the batteries. If you use the remote control exclusively in the holder, we recommend
removing the batteries.

How does Audiovox Navigation work ?
The Audiovox Navigation System is a powerful tool to assist the driver in daily traffic.
Automatic route planning and guidance allows you to concentrate on the essential
things in today’s growing traffic – especially in congested areas. Complicated and
time-consuming planning with conventional city and road maps is no longer required.
You simply enter the destination before driving off, activate ‘Guidance’ and the
Navigation System does the rest. It offers you guidance advice in both an audible and
visual way. Few controls and a simple menu structure ensure ease of use.
Determination of the vehicle position
The movement of the vehicle is measured
by sensors that are integrated into the
Navigation System. The distance driven is
recorded by an electronic signal from
the speedometer and the rotary
movements of turns by the gyroscope
(a rotary measurement system).
The information from these sensors is,
however, not always exact as the values
can be affected by tire slippage, varying
tire pressure due to changes in
temperature, etc.
Data from these sensors, in conjunction with positional information received from the
Global Positioning System is transmitted to the navigation computer. The resultant
calculated position is then compared against the road network data stored on the
CD-ROM in order to display the current vehicle position.
GPS (Global Positioning System)
The Global Positioning System is based on the reception
of navigation signals from a total of currently 27 GPS
satellites orbiting the earth at a height of
13,000 miles. To determine a 3D position (with
longitude, latitude and height), signals from at
least 4 satellites must be received.
The built-in GPS receiver can handle up to 8 satellite
signals simultaneously. This allows an accuracy of
about 20 ft to 60 ft which is further improved by the
other sensors.

Important notes on the function of your Navigation
System
In general the navigation system is operational even with bad GPS reception (GPS =
Global Positioning System by satellites), but the accuracy of positioning may decrease
and errors in position evaluation may occur, resulting in wrong position display.
Start-up behaviour
When the vehicle is parked for a long period of
time, the satellites change their orbital positions.
Therefore, when the ignition is turned on again
it can take a few minutes before the Navigation
System can pick up enough satellites and
evaluate the received signals.
When starting up, the Navigation System may tell you: “You are leaving the digitized
area”. It supposes the vehicle in an off-road position. If there are other roads in this
position, the Navigation System may send inappropriate messages. This means that it
supposes the vehicle is on one of the other roads.
When the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time, the navigation function
may be temporarily inhibited. The Navigation System will operate reliably again once
GPS reception is available for a few minutes.
Notes
After transport of the car by a tow truck, car train or in a car ferry the navigation
system may need a few minutes outdoors for exact repositioning.
After the car battery has been disconnected, the system may need up to 15 minutes
for exact repositioning. The car has to be situated outdoors and the system has to be
switched on to receive the GPS satellites.
GENERAL INFORMATION
12
Limited GPS Reception
System performance may adversely affected if GPS reception is interrupted or
interference occurs over a distance of several miles. GPS reception may be interrupted
or interference could occur:
–
In between tall buildings.
–
In multi-level parking garages, in tunnels and under bridges.
–
In forests or tree-lined avenues.
–
During heavy rain showers and thunderstorms.
–
Unfavorable satellite positions in conjunction with the position of the installed GPS
antenna (in this case GPS reception may be obstructed for a longer period).
–
In valleys and in mountainous regions.
However, the Navigation Computer is able to compensate reception problems over a
period of a few minutes without functional interference.
If the GPS antenna has been properly installed, sufficient GPS reception should be
present about 95 % of the driving time. If interference in the reception occurs more
frequently, improper mounting of the GPS antenna may be the cause. In this case, we
recommend you to contact your Audiovox dealer.
To avoid faulty operation or interference of the system do not cover the GPS antenna
(GPS = Global Positioning System).
It is recommended that metallic window tinting or any kind of stickers not be applied
in the area surrounding the antenna.

English
The digital road map
To plan a route to a destination address not only the current car position is needed by
the navigation system but also a digital road map is required where the destination
address itself as well as the roads leading to the destination address are stored. This
digital road map is located on the map CD you insert in your navigation computer.
On the map CD the road network is stored as a line pattern, which means that even
extensive intersections only have one center point all roads lead to. That’s why the
navigation system indicates the distance to the next turn as the distance to the center
of the intersection. Therefore the distance indications for highway exits given by the
navigation system may be different from those on the highway signs. The highway
signs refer to the distance to the beginning of the exit.
Areas with limited road attributes
In some areas not all attributes of a road are available on the map CD. For example
information on prohibited turning, one way streets or pedestrian areas are missing.
If you are entering this kind of area the navigation system will show you a warning.
The local traffic regulations always have priority over the advice given by the
navigation system. Always obey road signs and traffic regulations.
Latest map CDs
Approximately 10-15 % of the traffic network is changing each year. Due to this
constantly changing conditions (newly built roads, traffic restrictions, etc.), a 100 %
correspondence of the digital road map with reality cannot be achieved under all
circumstances. We recommend to always use the latest version of the map CD for
navigation.

Intelligent “keyboard”
When entering names for a city, road or point of interest the system compares the
character sequence already entered with that of the database on the map CD.
If you have already entered one character you will note, that only certain letters are
still selectable. The navigation system automatically fills in the missing characters if
there is only one possible entry left.
If there is more than one database entry with the same name, the cursor is
automatically placed on the list icon ¢. Select the desired entry from the list. If the
number of data entries is very large, setting up the list may take a few seconds.
Database entries which are not unique are distinguished by additional information. If
for example a road name is not unique in the city entered before, a list of all district
names referring to this road is presented.
Different ways of data entry
When entering city or road names with more than one word the database allows you
to start your entry with any part of the name.
If for example you want to enter “5 NORTH BEVERLY DRIVE” you can start data entry
with each of the name contents, for example “DRIVE” or “NORTH”.
Entering special characters
On the “keyboard” you have access to different country specific characters depending
on the language you selected.

Guidance in partly digitized areas
As long as you are driving on digitized roads the
navigation system will give you guidance advice. On
the open road without junctions or exits the display
shows a direction arrow which follows the course of
the road.
Leaving the digitized area
In rural areas and smaller cities it may occur that not
every road is digitized (stored on the map CD). When
you leave a digitized road, the system automatically
shows the direction arrow and the direct distance to
the destination. You will hear “You are leaving the
digitized area”.

Drive in the direction of the displayed direction
arrow to a digitized road.
As soon as you reach a digitized road, the system automatically switches back to
guidance and plans a new route.
Areas with limited road attributes
In some areas not all attributes of a road are available on the map CD. For example
the driving direction of a one way street or the information about the restricted entry
of a pedestrian precinct may be missing.
If you are entering this kind of area the Navigation System will show a warning. The
local traffic regulations always have priority over the advice given by the navigation
system.
