ATTENTION!
Operating the Audiovox Navigation System while you are driving can distract your
AAAA
attention from road, and possibly cause an accident. Enter information into the system
yourself only when the vehicle is stopped.
The directions provided by the system are suggestions only. The driver is ultimately
AAAA
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.
Obey all traffic signs and laws while driving.
AAAA
Only use the Audiovox Navigation System when it is safe to do so. It is more important
AAAA
to keep your eyes on the road and your hands on the wheel.
Do not use the remote control while driving. Do not change system settings or enter des-
AAAA
tinations while driving. If a prolonged view of the monitor is required, pull over in a safe
and legal matter.
Keep away small articles from children. Store small articles (batteries, screws) in places
AAAA
not accessible to children. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
Do not disassemble or alter. Attempts to disassemble or alter may lead to an accident
AAAA
and / or fire.
Due to constantly changing traffic conditions, we unfortunately cannot guarantee 100 %

Guidelines and recommendations for safe use
Guidelines and recommendations for safe use
of the Audiovox Navigation System
Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the
AAAA
screen is necessary, pull over and stop in a safe and legal manner.
Do not input destinations, change settings or access any functions requiring a prolonged
AAAA
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.
Make certain that the volume level of the monitor is set to a level which still allows you
AAAA
to hear outside traffic and emergency services.
If your display is mounted to a flexible holder, position the screen so that glancing at the
AAAA
screen can be performed quickly and easily and reduce glare and reflections. Pull over
and stop in a safe and legal manner before making any adjustments.
If your display is mounted on a fixed holder, check if your dealer has mounted it according to the above recommendation.
The display should not be placed in a location which hinders the view of any critical ele-
AAAA
ments necessary to operate the vehicle properly (i. e. the road, the mirrors, instruments,
vehicles surroundings). In addition the display should not be placed in a location which
may obstruct the airbags should they deploy.
If your display is mounted on a fixed holder, check if your dealer has mounted it according to the above recommendations.
Make certain or check that the display bracket or holder is firmly installed to avoid
AAAA
looseness and allow direct viewing while reducing screen vibration. In addition the monitor should be placed in its brackets securely all the time while driving.
The guiding advice provided by the Audiovox Navigation System are suggestions only.
AAAA
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, Audiovox will automatically calculate a new route and provide new
suggestions (automatic re-routing function).
The Audiovox Navigation System (like all car navigation systems available today), is an
AAAA
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.
In case you need to find an emergency service do not use the Audiovox Navigation Sys-
AAAA
tem. It can not be guaranteed that the Audiovox database CD contains all available
emergency services in your neighborhood. Use your own judgment and abilities to ask
for directions in such a situation.
10
Guidelines and recommendations for safe use
The Audiovox Navigation System does not take into account the relative safety of the
AAAA
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.
Please take care that everybody using the Audiovox Navigation System has access to
AAAA
these directions for use and reads the given recommendations and guidelines carefully
before the first use of the system.
Remember to wear your seat belt at all times when the car is in motion. This will help
AAAA
you avoid impact with anything in the car’s interior, including the monitor.
The remote control contains batteries. Do not expose the remote control to direct sun
AAAA
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.

General Information
General Information
With the Audiovox Multimedia System you have purchased a high-performance
instrument which has been designed to assist drivers in daily traffic. With automatic
route planning and directional guidance you can concentrate on what is important
in today's increasingly heavier traffic – especially in large metropolitan areas.
Complicated and time-consuming planning with conventional road and city maps is
no longer required. You simply enter the destination before beginning your journey,
activate “Guidance” and the system does everything else for you.
The navigation system provides you with driving information in the form of acoustic
and visual signals. The system is easy to operate with a few control elements and a
clearly structured menu.
System enhancements make it possible to turn the system into a comprehensive
information and entertainment system.
Comments
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.
The system is fully operational even without valid GPS data, but the accuracy of
positioning may decrease.
As soon as sufficient GPS data is received the color of the satellite icon in the
GPS window changes from red to green.
On highways the distance indications of the Audiovox Navigation System for exits
are different from those on the highway signs. The highway signs refer to the
distance to the beginning of the exit, whereas the Navigation System refers to
the end of the exit. This is the point where you must turn.
12
General Information
How does the navigation system work?
Determination of 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
the speedometer
movements of turns by the
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 27 GPS satellites at a
height of 13,000 miles.
electronic signal from
and the rotary
gyroscope
(a
English
To determine the position with sufficient
accuracy, signals from at least 4 satellites must
be received.
The integrated 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.
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.
13
General Information
You can recognize that the reception is sufficient by the green symbol that
appears in the systemís display. If GPS reception is not sufficient, the satellite symbol
remains red.
When starting up, the Audiovox Navigation System may tell you: ’You are now
leaving the digitized area’. The displayed map will then show the vehicle in a
position off the road.
If there are other roads in this area, the Navigation System may send inappropriate
messages. This means that the system assumes the vehicle is on one of the other
roads.
When the vehicle has been parked for a long period of time, the Navigation func-
tion may be temporarily inhibited. The Navigation System will operate reliably again
once GPS reception is available for a few minutes.
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 occurs:
In multi-level parking garages,
in tunnels and under bridges
In forests or tree-lined avenues During heavy rain showers and
14
In between tall buildings
thunderstorms
General Information
English
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.
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. However, the Audiovox Navigation
Computer is able to compensate reception problems over a period of a few minutes
without functional interference.
It is recommended that metallic window tinting or any kind of stickers not be
applied in the area surrounding the antenna.
In valleys and in mountainous regions
15
General Information
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.
Real road network
Line pattern of the digital map
Areas with limited road information
In some areas all of the information about a road is not available on the
map CD. Thus, for example, turn off prohibitions, information on the
direction of travel in a one way street or prohibited entry into a pedestrian
zone may be missing. The navigation system will display a warning if you
drive into such an area.
AAAA
The navigation system is no substitute for local traffic laws.
Always observe the road signs and motor vehicle 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.

Points of Interest
Points of interests are destinations / facilities, the exact address of which is often
unknown to you (e. g. gas stations, car services, hospitals, airports etc.).
Points of interest can be selected from the following lists.
• Close to car: points of interest near the current car location
• At destination: Destinations close to the destination address
already entered.
• National importance: Institution / destination of national importance
• At via point:* points of interest near the via points
*Function available only for already stored via points
For selection of a point of interest for guidance:
— Select the “Points of int. / Inters.:” option in the “Navigation” menu.
— Select the corresponding list for the points of interest (see above).
The “At destination” list is not available until a valid target destination has
been entered.
A list of the categories of points of interest is shown.
— Select the desired category (e. g. gas station, hotel, etc.).
— The keyboard is displayed if there is a larger number of points of interest availa-
ble in the database. Enter the name of the desired facility or select “List”.
— Select the desired facility from the list.
The availability of points of interests depends on the map CD which is used.
The selected point of interest now becomes the current destination address;
any previously entered destination address is then deleted.
Points of interest that are to be entered only as intermediate destinations (e. g. a
gas station on the way to the actual destination) must be entered as via points.

Via points (intermediate destinations)
If you want to drive to other places on your way to the entered destination address,
then you can store these via points. The navigation system then plans the route in
such a way that the via points are driven to in sequence before the destination
address is reached.
Once a via point has been passed it is automatically deleted from the list.
A maximum of 10 via points can be stored.
— Select the “Via points” option in the “Navigation” menu.
The “Via point input” menu is displayed; the following functions are available:
• Store via point: Store entered address as next via point in memory
and / or list
• Retrieve address: Select address as via point from address book.
(functions as described under “Transfer from address
book / destination memory”)
• Destination map: Enter via point with the help of the destination
map (for input see sections “Destination map” and
“Map display”; the entered via point becomes the last
via point in the list)
• Delete via point: Deleted a via point from the list
• Display via point: Display list of via points
• Return: Return to “Navigation” menu
You can enter the via points in the same way as destination addresses (see above
sections).
To transfer the entered via point to the memory:
— Select the “Store via point” function.
If 10 via points are already stored in memory, a message that no further via points
can be stored is displayed.
Press the OK button.
If you wish to enter a new via point, a previously stored via point must first be
deleted.

To delete via points:
— Select the “Delete via point” function.
A list of the stored via points will be shown.

A popup menu with the selected entry appears.
