Safety instructions

G
Operation of the unit is permitted only if traffic conditions are suitable and you are absolutely sure that you, your passengers or other motorists are not endangered, obstructed or inconvenienced.
In all cases, all applicable road traffic regulations must be obeyed. Destinations may only be entered when the vehicle is stationary.
The country-specific regulations apply for telephone operations.
The navigation system is only an aid. Errors may occur in individual data items/entries. At all times, the driver must decide whether or not to heed the information provided. We do not accept liability for erroneous data provided by the navigation system.
Due to continual changes in traffic routing or deviations in the data, it may occur that imprecise or erroneous information is given. Therefore, actual road signs and traffic regulations must always be observed. In particular, the navigation system cannot be used as an orientation aid at times of poor visibility.
The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the radio, navigation system and telephone should be adjusted so that external noise is still audible.
Do not activate the telephone near petrol stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or blasting areas.
In the case of a malfunction (i.e. smoke or other noticeable odours) the unit is to be turned off immediately.
For safety reasons, the unit must only be opened by a trained technician. Please refer to your dealer for repair.

What is navigation?

The term “navigation” (lat. navigare = to travel by sea) is generally understood to mean the location of a vehicle, the deter­mination of the direction and distance from the desired destination and the required route. As navigation aids, stars, prominent landmarks, compass and sat­ellites are used. With Mexico, location is determined with the GPS receiver (GPS = Global Positioning System). The direction and distance from the destination are deter­mined using a digital road map, a navi­gation computer and sensors. A speed­ometer signal and a reverse signal are additionally used to calculate the route. For safety reasons, navigation is pre- dominantly in spoken form supported by a direction indicator on the display.
Safety instructions

• Road traffic regulations always take priority. The navigation system is only an aid. Errors may occur in indi­vidual data items/entries. At all times, the driver must decide whether or not to heed the information provided. We do not accept liability for errone­ous data provided by the navigation system.
• Observation of traffic signs and local traffic regulations must always take priority.
• Traffic guidance is restricted to pas­senger vehicles only. Special driving recommendations and regulations for other vehicles (e.g. commercial vehi­cles) are not included.
• Destinations may only be entered when the vehicle is stationary.

Navigation data

The Mexico is supplied with a CF mem­ory card. This memory card contains a digitised road map.
Note:
The navigation function of the Mexico only functions with an original memory card supplied by Harman/Becker. The supplied memory card must not be formatted under any circumstances.
The memory card with the navigation data is copy-protected. If you change the data on the card in any way, the Mexico will no longer accept this mem­ory card.
Motorways, federal and regional roads, as well as district roads are stored in the dig­itised street map. Larger cities and com­munities are comprehensively covered. For smaller towns and communities, the regional and unclassified roads or access roads and the town centres are included. One-way streets, pedestrian zones, turn bans and other traffic regulations are taken into account as far as possible. There may be discrepancies between the data on the memory card and the actual lo-

cal situation, due to permanent changes to road systems and their traffic regulations.
Note:
For Norway, Sweden, Finland, Den­mark, Spain and Italy, non-verified data has been used to achieve a high depth of digitisation; i.e. with this data, the nav­igation system cannot refer to informa­tion such as motorway, trunk road, 30 zone, one-way street or other traffic regulations, as this is not recorded. All roads can be used, but optimum route guidance cannot be guaranteed.

Inserting memory card

The slot for inserting the memory card containing the navigation data is located in the media slot.
X Open the media slot as described in
“Opening media slot” on page 15.
X Take the memory card containing the
navigation data out of its protective sleeve.
X Place the memory card into the visible
slot on the right-hand side.
Notes:
The memory card can only be inserted in one direction. The reverse of the memory card points downwards.
X Push the memory card carefully into
the slot.
The memory card must then be firmly anchored in the slot.
X Close the media slot as described in
“Closing media slot” on page 15.
or
X Wait until the media slot closes
automatically.
The memory card containing the naviga­tion data is now ready for use and the sys­tem is able to access the navigation data.

Removing memory card

X Open the media slot as described in

X Pull the memory card out of the slot. X Put the memory card containing the
navigation data back into its protective sleeve.
X Close the media slot as described in
“Closing media slot” on page 15.

The Fast Access menu then appears. The number of satellites received appears on the right-hand side of the display (in the example, 5 of the maximum of 8 receiv­able satellites are being received). In fast access mode, you can select and navigate to the last destinations entered/ the destinations you have stored in fast access mode. For more information, see “Navigation fast access” on page 34.
Note:
The memory card containing the navi­gation data must be loaded when start­ing navigation mode for the first time. If calibration of the navigation system has not yet been completed, the system will prompt you to take a drive for cali­bration (see Installation Guide). The memory card containing the navi­gation data must be inserted to start the calculation of a route. If it is not in­serted, you will be prompted to insert it. During the route calculation, the symbol appears on the right-hand side of the display. Once the calculation has been completed, the symbol disap­pears, the memory card can then be re­moved and replaced, if desired, by a memory card containing audio data. When entering destinations, driving off should be delayed until the symbol has disappeared. For distant destina­tions, you may be prompted to re-insert the memory card at a later time.

Dynamic route guidance with TMC
Note:
Dynamic route guidance is not possible in all countries. When new route calculations are made with active dynamic route guidance, the navigation system may request the memory card containing the navigation data (if it is not already inserted).
What is dynamic route guidance?
Dynamic route guidance is used to cal­culate the route, taking current traffic announcements into account. The traffic announcements are transmit­ted by a TMC radio station in addition to the radio programme and are received and analysed by the navigation system. The reception of traffic announcements is free of charge.

Note:
As the traffic announcements are trans­mitted by radio stations, we cannot assume responsibility for the complete­ness or accuracy of the announcements.
Austria: The location and event code was made available by ASFINAG and BMVIT.

Dynamic route guidance

You can activate dynamic route guid­ance by selecting route options. If dynamic route guidance has been acti­vated, a continuous check is made for the presence of relevant announcements for the selected route. The route is then calculated using the “fast route” option, while taking into account current traffic announcements. If it is determined dur­ing these continuous checks that a traffic announcement is of relevance for the route guidance, the unit will automati­cally re-calculate a new route to the des­tination.

MP3 mode

General notes on MP3

The music that can be played when your unit is in MP3 mode is generally copy­right-protected under applicable interna­tional and national laws. In several countries, the reproduction of copy­righted material is not permitted, even if only for personal use, without the express prior consent of the copyright holder. Please check the current copy­right laws for your country and comply with them. These restrictions naturally do not apply to your own compositions and recordings, or for recordings for which authorisation has been obtained from the copyright holder.

Creating an MP3 storage medium

A maximum of 63 folders, each of which can contain up to 254 tracks, can be stored on a storage medium. ever, a maximum of 1000 tracks for SD/MMC card and 2000 tracks per CF-card/micro-drive are supported. a folder contains more than 254 tracks, a second folder will be created automat­ically which can also contain up to 254 tracks. Only folder or track names with 254 characters or fewer can be displayed.
• Only MP3 tracks can be played if the storage medium has been formatted using the FAT 32 file system.
• If the artist’s name and track title are to be displayed, an ID3 tag must be added to the MP3 file. This unit sup­ports versions ID3v1 and ID3v2.
How-
If
• The display of artist’s name and track title is restricted to a total maximum length of 63 characters.
The MP3 formats MPEG1 and MPEG2
• Layer3 are supported by the unit. Fixed and variable bit rates of 8 - 320 kbps and scan rates of 16-48 kHz are supported (for files with variable bit rate only with Xing header). We rec­ommend the use of the Fraunhofer MP3 Encoder when creating MP3 files.
• We recommend a bit rate of at least 160 kbps for compressing MP3 files. It should be noted that with MP3 files having a variable bit rate, the display of the elapsed playing time may deviate from real time.
• In the case of a mixed-mode medium (partly conventional audio tracks and partly data), only the audio tracks are played back. The data part is not played back, even if MP3 tracks are included.
84
Page 85
Media mode
For further information about creating MP3 files and ID3 tags, please consult your dealer or check on the Internet.
Note:
Due to the abundance of different kinds of software and their associated settings we cannot guarantee the playback qual­ity of MP3 data from micro-drive/stor­age cards.

MP3 memory cards/ Micro-drive mode

Note:
• Micro-drives with a capacity of up to 4 GB can be used.
• Type 1 and type 2 CF cards can be used as memory cards. Memory cards up to a capacity of 4 GB can be used.
• SD/MMC cards with a capacity of up to 4 GB can be used.
• The SD/IO format is not supported by the slot for the SD card.
• Please note that the storage medium was formatted with the FAT 32 file system.
Inserting micro-drive/CF memory card
The slot for inserting the micro-drive/CF memory card is located in the media slot.
X Open the media slot as described in
“Opening media slot” on page 15.
X Place the micro-drive/CF memory
card into the visible slot on the right­hand side.

or
X Wait until the media slot closes
automatically.
The micro-drive/CF memory card is now ready for operation and, if MP3 tracks are located on the micro-drive/CF memory card, the first track in the first directory is played automatically. If the content of the micro-drive/CF memory card has not been changed since it was last inserted, playback begins with the last track played.
Removing micro-drive/CF memory card

Playback sequence for MP3 storage media

87
Page 88
Media mode
Here is an example of a folder structure on an MP3 storage medium. The filled grey rectangles represent fold­ers/directories. The empty rectangles symbolise MP3 tracks.
The playback sequence is indicated by the numbers in brackets starting with (1). In other words, the tracks played first are those that are directly on the storage me­dium and not in a subdirectory.
The letters in brackets starting with (a) represent the sequence in which the vari­ous folders/directories can be seen in the media fast access mode.

Playlists

Due to the number of MP3 files that can be saved on a memory card/micro-drive, this storage medium quickly becomes confusing. You can make it less confusing using playlists.
In a playlist, you can combine, for exam­ple, all the desired songs in a category (e.g. rock). This playlist can then be stored on the memory card/micro-drive together with the MP3 files that are stored in folders. The unit recognises this playlist (several possible) on reading the memory card/ micro-drive and can then play the MP3 tracks in the order specified by the play­list.
Creating playlists
We used the WINAMP freeware in our trials for creating playlists. However, other programs may also be used to cre­ate playlists. The playlist formats M3U and PLS are supported by the unit. For further information about creating playlists, please check on the Internet.
