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.

the malfunctioning of the motor vehicle’s electronic systems. The vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions must be
observed.
The vehicle’s electronics (e.g. speedometer signal) must only be worked on by an authorised service garage. We assume
no liability for any impairment of the vehicle’s electronics.
This device is only intended for installation in the area provided for this purpose by the vehicle manufacturer.
The method of attachment used must ensure that the device will remain properly attached, should the vehicle be involved
in a crash.
The power supply must be properly fused.
Using mobile phones without an external antenna in the proximity of the radio unit may cause interference.
Familiarise yourself with the device and how it works before embarking on your journey. Whilst on the move, only operate
the device in appropriate traffic conditions. The volume of the device should be set at a level that enables external noises
(e.g. police sirens) to be easily heard.

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 Cascade, location is determined
with the GPS receiver (GPS = GlobalPositioning 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
G
• 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 Cascade is supplied with a CF memory card. This memory card contains
a digitised road map.
Note:
The navigation function of the Cascade
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 Cascade 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 memory cards containing
navigation data is located underneath the
removable control panel on the Cascade
or underneath the cover.
X Remove the control panel as described
in “Removing/Inserting the control
panel” on page 15.

serting/Removing the cover” on
page 16.
X Take the memory card containing the
navigation data out of its protective
sleeve.
X Insert 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 to the left.
X Push the memory card carefully into
the slot.
This pushes the eject button located
above and to the left of the slot outwards.
X Reinsert the cover as described in “In-
serting/Removing the cover” on
page 16.

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.

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.

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.

Accident hazard
Road traffic regulations always take
priority when a vehicle is being driven
in traffic. Road signs en-route should
always be heeded. In some cases, the
speed limit indicated by the navigation
system may be incorrect. At all times,
the driver must decide whether or not to
heed the speed limit indicated. We do
not accept liability for erroneous data
provided by the navigation system.

limit and this speed limit is stored in the
navigation data, the corresponding symbol will appear on the display indicating
the speed limit.
Note:
On routes with variable speed limits,
a symbol with the text

For limits that are dependent on, for example, the weather or time of day, the
speed limit with underlining (e.g.:

Only folder or track names with 254
characters or fewer can be displayed.
• Only MP3 tracks stored on a storage
medium in compliance with ISO 9660
can be played.
• 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-
• 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.
For further information about creating
MP3 files and ID3 tags, please consult
your dealer or check on the Internet.

Playback sequence for MP3
storage media
92
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
or CD, 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 burned on the
CD together with the MP3 files that are
stored in folders.
The unit recognises this playlist (several
possible) on reading the MP3 CD 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.
