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 unit was designed and manufactured
with great care and should be treated with
equal care. You will enjoy your unit for a
long time to come if you observe the recommendations listed below:
• Protect your unit and the accessories
from water and moisture. If your unit
has been exposed to moisture, switch it
off immediately and disconnect the
power supply. Allow to dry at room
temperature.
• Do not store and operate your unit in a
dusty or dirty environment.
• Do not store your unit 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 unit 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 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 unit, the rechargeable battery and
all accessories. Should one of these parts
not work properly, please contact your authorised dealer.

GENERAL OPERATION>>>
Battery quality declaration
The capacity of the rechargeable battery in
your Becker® MAP PILOT 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 unit.
Commissioning
Once the Becker® MAP PILOT has been
unpacked and checked to ensure it is free
of damage, the unit can be started up.
The battery is already deployed. To avoid
a premature discharge, is the contact to
the device interrupted by a slide. Remove
this slide from the device.
Insert the Becker® MAP PILOT as described under “Unit holder” on page 11.
Power supply
Your Becker® MAP PILOT has an integrated rechargeable battery. The battery is
charged as soon as the Becker® MAP
PILOT is placed in the holder and the vehicle ignition is switched on.

>>>NAVIGATION MODE

What is navigation?
> USE
> FR
> ES
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 Becker® MAP PILOT, the location is determined by the GPS receiver.
The Global Positioning System (GPS)
was developed during the 1970s by the
US military as a weapons guiding system.
GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites orbiting the Earth and emitting signals. A
GPS receiver receives these signals and
uses the signal times to calculate the distance to an individual satellite, 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 four or more satellites.
The Becker® MAP PILOT determines
the direction and distance from the destination using a navigation computer and a
digital street map held in its internal
memory.
For safety reasons, route guidance is givenpredominantly in spoken form. This is
supported by a direction indicator and a
map display.
WARNING
• 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. 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.
