!Safety information

• The unit may only be operated if the traffic situation allows for this and if you are absolutely certain that you
yourself, your fellow passengers or other road users will not be put at risk, encumbered or disturbed by this. The
rules of applicable road traffic acts must be observed at all times. Destinations may only be input when the vehicle
is stationary.

• The navigational system is only an aid. The data/details provided may in some cases be incorrect. The driver must
always decide whether to follow the details given or not. We accept no liability for the navigational system issuing
incorrect details. As a result of traffic routing changes and deviating data, inaccurate or incorrect instructions
may be given. Drivers should always pay attention to the actual road signs and traffic control. In particular, the
navigational system cannot be used as a means of orientation in cases of poor visibility.

• The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the Navigationsgerätes should be set so that
noises outside the vehicle can still be heard.

• The unit should be switched off immediately if faults occur (e.g. development of smoke or smells).

• For safety reasons, the unit may only be opened by a specialist. Please contact your local stockist if you require
repairs.

5

The Traffic Assist Pro

Use

The Traffic Assist Pro is a powerful
PND (Personal Navigation Device) for
use in vehicles and closed spaces. The
unit should be protected from dampness
and dirt.

3012

The Traffic Assist Pro can be used as:

• navigational unit

• MP3 (device for playing music)

• JPEG image viewer

Navigation

Thanks to GPS = Global Positioning
System, you no longer need to spend

hours searching through road atlases.
The folding receiving antenna gives you
constant access to navigation options
when outside in the open. Depending on
reception, you may not be able to use the
navigational function inside buildings.
When used in vehicles, you may not be
able to adequately receive GPS data de­pending on how the Traffic Assist Pro is
installed. In such cases, you will have to
connect up an external antenna (does not
fall within the scope of supply).
The Traffic Assist Pro is equipped with
TMC, which gives you the option of
receiving traffic announcements via the
TMC antenna provided. Traffic
announcements are transmitted when
the TMC is active. The system plans an
alternative route automatically or on
request to avoid traffic problems,
depending on the setting.

Music

Thanks to the integrated MP3-Player,
you can listen to your favourite tracks
when on the go.

Pictures

The Traffic Assist Pro has a Picture
Viewer offering many functions for vie­wing pictures.

General operations

Maintenance and care

The unit is maintenance-free.
For proper care, a commercially availab­le cleansing fluid for electrical devices
may be applied using a soft damp cloth.

Danger!

Danger to life by electrocution. Always
switch off the unit and disconnect the
mains power supply unit before clea­ning the unit, supplied components, or
accessories.

Note:

Do not use any aggressive or abrasive
substances or cloths which may damage
the surface.
The unit must not be exposed to water.

Your mobile navigation system was de­signed and manufactured with great care
and should be treated with equal care.
You will enjoy your mobile navigation
system for a long time to come if you ob­serve the recommendations listed in the
following:

• "Protect your mobile navigation sys­tem from water and moisture. If your
unit is exposed to moisture, switch it
off immediately and disconnect the
power supply. Allow the unit to dry at
room temperature.

• Do not operate your mobile navigation
system in a dusty or dirty environment
and do not store it in such an environ­ment.

• Do not store your mobile navigation
system in hot environments. High
temperatures can shorten the service
life of electronic components in your
unit, damage the rechargeable batte­ries and cause certain plastics to warp
or melt.

• Do not store your mobile navigation
system in cold environments. During
operation, when the unit warms up to
operating temperature, moisture may
form internally, causing damage to
electronic components.

• Do not drop your mobile navigation
system unit, protect it from shocks and
do not shake it. Improper handling can
damage components within the unit.

• Never use corrosive or aggressive che­micals, cleaning solutions or aggressi­ve detergents for cleaning.

All the above information applies equal­ly to the mobile navigation system, the
rechargeable battery, the mains charging
and car power adapters as well as all ac­cessories. Should one of these parts not
work properly, please contact your au­thorised dealer. He will be pleased to as­sist.

General operations

Battery quality declaration

The capacity of the rechargeable battery
in your mobile navigation system decre­ases with every charging/discharging
cycle. Improper storage at excessively
high or low temperatures may also cause
a gradual deterioration of capacity. Con­sequently, the operating time may be
substantially reduced even in the case of
a fully charged battery.
The rechargeable battery is designed
such that it should certainly still be pos­sible for it to be charged and discharged
after 6 months of operation of your mo­bile navigation system. In the event of a
significant loss of capacity, we recom­mend replacement of the rechargeable
battery. Please contact your authorised
dealer. Use only genuine BECKER ori­ginal spare parts.

Display quality declaration

In some cases, for technical reasons, a
few discoloured dots (pixels) may be vi­sible on the display. Some pixels may
also appear brighter or darker. However,
such instances do not represent a product
flaw.

Start-up

Once the Traffic Assist Pro has been un­packed and checked for damage, the unit
can be started up. The individual start-up
stages are:

• Insert the SD memory card

• connect to power supply

• Switching on the unit

• Ensuring antenna reception (if navi­gation is desired)

Note:

When the unit is switched on for the
first time, internal configuration takes
place. This takes several minutes. Do
not switch the unit off during this confi­guration.

SD-Card

The card supplied with the unit has a
capacity of 2 GB and space for a set of
road maps and a limited number of MP3
files and/or images. The number of
music/image files that can be stored on
the card depends on the size of the files.
Alternatively, you can connect a USB
memory stick to the USB port to play
MP3 files or display images.

Note:

Using USB memory sticks to play MP3
files or display images may
significantly decrease the capacity of
the battery.

Note:

Using USB memory sticks (for MP3s)
may interfere with the GPS signal.

5013

Note:

A small slider is located on one side of
the card. If it´s pushed in arrow
direction the SD-card is safed against
overwriting.

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. Stars, prominent
landmarks, compass and satellites etc.
are used as navigation aids.
With the Traffic Assist Pro, the location
is determined by the GPS receiver. The

Navigational Satellite Timing and
Ranging - Global Positioning System

(NAVSTAR-GPS, usually referred to
as GPS) was developed in the 70s by the
American military for navigation and
location purposes.
GPS operates using signals from
satellites orbiting the globe on a fixed
trajectory. At any one time, there are a
minimum of 24 satellites guaranteeing
constant reception from any point in the
world. The GPS receiver receives these
signals, uses the signal times to calculate
the distance from the individual
satellites and then determines your
current geographical position.
Signals from at least three satellites are
required to determine your position;

your height above sea level can be
calculated if signals are received from
five or more satellites.
The Traffic Assist Pro determines the
direction and distance from the
destination using a navigation computer
and a digital street map on the SD
memory card.
For safety, directions to the designation
are mainly provided verbally. The di-
rection display and map diagram on the
touch screen are further aids.

What is dynamic route guidance?

Dynamic route guidance calculates the
route, while taking into account current
traffic announcements.

Note:

Dynamic route guidance is not availab­le for all countries (currently only Bel­gium, Germany, Denmark, France, Ita­ly, The Netherlands, Austria, Sweden,
Switzerland and Spain).
TMC reception must be available in or­der to activate dynamic navigation and
the functions described below. TMC re­ception is only available when the unit
holder with TMC receiver is used.

Traffic announcements are transmitted
by radio stations via the TMC (Traffic
Message Channel) in addition to the
radio programme and are received and
analysed by the navigation system.
Receiving 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.

If dynamic route guidance is active, a
continuous check is made for the
presence of relevant announcements for
the selected route (however, traffic
problems still appear on the map even
when route guidance is not active).

6071

If these continuous checks determine
that a traffic announcement is relevant to
route guidance, the unit will
automatically recalculate a new route to
the destination (See “The TMC button”
on page 55.).

Displaying TMC messages on the map

Current TMC messages are displayed on
the map in graphic form. Sections of the
route where there are problems with
traffic are highlighted green. A black
arrow also indicates the direction of
travel. In addition to the coloured mark,
a warning sign is displayed on the
stretch of road affected.

Specialist words

ETA

((Estimated Time of Arrival)

The estimated time of arrival at the des­tination. When making calculations, the
Traffic Assist Pro takes into considera­tion the various average speeds for dif­ferent road types (inner city, A-roads,
motorways, etc.) and the current traffic
situation in combination with the TMC.

GMT

(Greenwich Mean Time)
Central European Time
The standard time at 0 degrees of longi­tude (the longitude which passes
through Greenwich, Great Britain). This
time is used worldwide for the synchro­nisation of data collection.

GPS

(Global Positioning System)
GPS determines your actual geographi­cal position by the use of satellites. It is
based on 24 satellites which orbit the
Earth and emit signals. The GPS receiv­er receives these signals and calculates
the distance to each satellite from the
running time differences and thus evalu-

ates its actual current position in terms
of geographical length and width. In or­der to determine the position, signals
from at least three satellites are required,
and the fourth one allows the height to
be determined.

HDOP

(Horizontal Dilution Of Precision)
HDOP states the quality of the positional
dtermination. In theory, values from 0 to
50 are possible, whereby the following
applies: the smaller the value the more
accurate the positioning (value 0= no de­viation from the actual position). Values
of up to 8 are acceptable for navigation
units.

ID3-Tag

„Index of Contents" of an MP3 title.
Contains information such as title, artist,
album, year and genre.

JPG/JPEG

(Joint Photographic Experts Group)
The JPEG is the most common type
of storage format for dissipating picture
compression., i.e. when compressing,
details of the picture are lost. Still pro-

vides good picture quality despite com­pression, compression stages are se­lectable. It is the most common format
for representation and exchange of pic­tures on the internet.

MP3

Special compression process for audio
data (e.g. music).

File

Index
File on a CD/storage card/microdrive
which contains MPS titles.

SD Card

(Secure Digital)
The Secure Digital Card was developed
in 2001 by SanDisk on the basis of
the older MMC standard. An SD card is
a re-writable change-over storage card.

78

Stylus

A stylus is an input pointer which is
used for the operation of touch-screens,
mobile phones or PDAs.
The stylus consists basically of a plastic
pointer with a softer plastic core. The
sleeve is hard and can be gripped and
the softer core emerges at the tip and is
designed to touch the screen as softly as
possible (i.e. without the danger of
scratching the screen).
The stylus is more accurate than opera­tion using the fingers, since only the thin
tip touches the screen. In addition, dirty
marks on the screen caused by finger
prints are avoided.

TMC

(Traffic Message Channel)
Traffic announcements transmitted by
most FM stations via RDS. Basis for dy­namic navigation.

Specialist words

USB

(Universal Serial Bus)
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a bus
sytem for interconnection of a computer
with external USB peripherals for the
exchange of data.
