GSafety instructions

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.

Information regarding general road safety

This car radio device is intended and approved for installation and operation in passenger cars, commercial vehicles and buses (vehicle classes M, N and O) whose electric system has a rated voltage of 12V.

Installation and maintenance should only be carried out by specialists. Faulty installation or maintenance can result in 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.

Navigation mode

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 = 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 predominantly in spoken form supported by a direction indicator on the display.

GSafety 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 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.

ΞRemove the control panel as described in “Removing/Inserting the control panel” on page 15.

ΞRemove the cover as described in “Inserting/Removing the cover” on page 16.

ΞTake the memory card containing the navigation data out of its protective sleeve.

ΞInsert 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.

ΞPush the memory card carefully into the slot.

This pushes the eject button located above and to the left of the slot outwards.

ΞReinsert the cover as described in “Inserting/Removing the cover” on page 16.

ΞReinsert the control panel as described in “Removing/Inserting the control panel” on page 15.

The memory card containing the navigation data is now ready for operation and the system is able to access the navigation data.

Selecting navigation

Ξ Press .

Navigation is activated. The display only appears if navigation has not been activated since the last time the Cascade was switched on or if it is not yet ready.

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 36.

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.
