Installation of the GPS antenna

G Risk of injury
People with pacemakers should avoid proximity to the magnetic antenna and should not carry the antenna on their person, as this may affect the function of the pacemaker. Keep the magnetic antenna away from data storage media (disks, credit cards, magnetic cards etc.) and electronic and precision engineering equipment, as this may cause data to be deleted. Do not use the antenna in areas at risk of explosion. The antenna is to be affixed in such a manner that it cannot detach in the event of a collision or sudden braking.
Possible installation positions
Outside the vehicle
a. Attach the antenna to a flat, pre-washed metal surface.
b. Then guide the antenna cable into the vehicle interior.
G Risk of injury
The maximum vehicle speed for the antenna if magnetically attached is 180 km/h. The antenna must be removed or specially secured at higher speeds. The antenna is not suitable for car-wash facilities.

Inside the vehicle
The GPS antenna is not suitable for installation in vehicles with anti-glare windows (metalised thermo-glass or metal foil (can be seen on the window label - SIGLA SOL, SIGLA CHROM, SIGLA, KOOL-OF, SUNGATE, etc.) and vehicles with fine-meshed heating wires in the windows.
Information on installation position
When selecting the installation position, ensure that the antenna has a clear view in all directions, and that it is not covered by the windscreen wipers. Obstructions caused by the bonnet, window crossbeams and roof should be avoided as far as possible. Concealed installation beneath the vehicle console is not permitted. Installation on the vehicle side windows is not permissible. The antenna cable should not run parallel to other cables in the vehicle. The antenna cable should be routed via the shortest distance from the navigation system to the antenna. The excess cable should be attached directly below the antenna.

Installation of the microphone

The microphone should be placed in the vehicle to allow optimal recognition of the speaker’s voice. Possible positions in the vehicle for the microphone can be seen in the following diagram.
The installation position should be as far away from the loudspeakers, and as near to the speaker, as possible. If prob­lems occur, different positions should be tested. In order to pick up as little background noise as possible, the micro­phone has a narrow pick-up angle and must consequently be directed towards the driver.
A: Optimal installation position B: Alternative installation position C: Speaking direction on microphone D: Adhesive strip for affixing to smooth surfaces E: Screw for fastening the screw-on plate F: Screw-on plate for affixing to rough or uneven surfaces.
Affixing the hands-free microphone to a flat and smooth surface can be accomplished with the adhesive strip D (Clean adhesion surfaces).

Commissioning and calibration

For commissioning and calibration, you must switch on the vehicle ignition. Switch on the Traffic Pro and enter the code (see the operation guide for a detailed description). The vehicle must be parked outdoors, ensuring that it has a clear view in all directions (not in the immediate vicinity of buildings).
Installation Guide
•Press . Navigation is activated.
If the navigation CD has not yet been inserted, you will be prompted to insert it.
“German”, the Traffic Pro default language, is loaded. Following loading, you can select a different language as described in the operation guide.
The adjacent display appears after the language installation. You must now wait for sufficient GPS reception. This procedure (first reception of the necessary GPS data) may take a few minutes. The unit must remain switched on for the entire duration of this procedure. The vehicle must not be moved. If, after approximately 10 minutes, the unit has not switched to the next display, the parked position (clear view in all directions as far as possible) or the installation location of the GPS antenna must be checked. You can also call up the GPS information and check whether the values displayed there have changed (see the description in GPS information - GPS function test on page 23).

Installation Guide
Once sufficient GPS reception can be assured, the Traffic Pro switches to the next display.
You are prompted to take a calibration journey. Carry out the calibration journey. During the journey, the speed signal (GAL) is automatically adapted to the vehicle-specific data and the gyro sensor is automatically adapted to the installation position of the unit. The distance to be covered depends on the type of vehicle and the local conditions. The basic requirement for a calibration journey is: driving
200 - 300 metres in a straight line, then turning by at least 60 degrees and then driving 200- 300 metres in a straight line again, and turning again.
The direction you turn is of no significance. If these conditions cannot be fulfilled due to the road or the fact that you do not always have optimum GPS reception, this will not lead to a poorer calibration, but will simply mean the time and distance necessary for the calibration ride will be longer.

Installation Guide
The Navigation menu appears to indicate that calibration has been completed successfully.
The navigation system is only ready for operation on completion of the calibration journey. Final precision is only achieved after a further journey.
For correct navigation on routes with time-dependent traffic guidance, the time should be set correctly as described in the operation guide under “Settings” in Navigation mode.
