Safety information

SAFETY INFORMATION >>>

!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 navigational system 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.

The Traffic Assist

Operating guide content

The two devices Traffic Assist and Traffic
Assist with TMC are described in this op­erating guide. All the descriptions, with
the exception of those marked with an as­terisk (*), apply to both devices.
The sections of the operating guide
marked with an asterisk (*) apply specifi­cally to the Traffic Assist with TMC.

Use

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

The Traffic Assist can be used as:

• navigational unit

• MP3 (device for playing music)

• JPEG picture viewer

THE TRAFFIC ASSIST >>>

Navigation

Thanks to GPS = Global Positioning Sys­tem, you no longer need to spend hours
searching through road atlases.
Once outside buildings, the receiver an­tenna integrated in the unit gives you con­tinuous access to navigational possibili­ties. 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 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 with TMC 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.

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.

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

• insert 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.

Memory card

The memory card provided has a storage
capacity of 2 GB and offers sufficient
space for the complete European map set,
the Traffic Assist does not support larger
memory cards.
The complete European map set requires
approximately 1.8 GB of memory space.
If you intend to listen to music, look at
pictures or watch videos on the Traffic
Assist. We recommend that you store the
relevant data on a separate memory card
(not included in scope of delivery).
If you would like to listen to music with
the Traffic Assist during navigation, the
music must be stored on the supplied
memory card. The Traffic Assist does not
support the changing of memory cards
during navigation.

Basic information about the touch screen

The Traffic Assist is fitted with a touch
screen.

Note:

To ensure that the display's surface is not
damaged, you may only touch it with
your fingers or a blunt, non-smearing ob­ject.

Operation

The buttons which appear in the menus
or message windows should simply be
touched so that they are displayed as if
they had been pressed.
If the key pressed is not permitted in the
current situation, a short signal will
sound.

Calibration

If the touch screen starts responding im­precisely and e.g. buttons have to
be touched off-centre in order to be actu­ated, calibration should be undertaken.
The calibration function is started from
the Settings menu (see also page 82).

Basic information about the menus

During operations, you are assisted by
various menus and entry windows.

The main menu

The top menu level is the main menu.
The individual applications are started
from the main menu.

You will find information about the indi­vidual applications in the corresponding
main chapters.

Entries made with the entry menu

Some applications require entries to be
made via the entry menu. The entry menu
is operated in a similar way to a keypad.

The character entered on the keypad is
displayed in the top line of the entry
menu. The central area is used to enter
characters. Help functions are provided in
the bottom line. Descriptions of how to
operate the menu are provided below.

keys in the central area.

Once the entry is complete, the process is
concluded by pressing the key and
the entry passed on to the Traffic Assist
for processing.

Adopting suggestions

When a navigation destination is entered,
the Traffic Assist compares the entry with
the set of data on the memory card. The
Traffic Assist then only makes those let­ters which are possible available for selec­tion and adds a sensible suggestion to the
letters already entered.
The suggestion and the characters which
cannot be selected are depicted
with a slightly darker font. If the desired
input appears in the upper display area af­ter entering the first few letters or num­bers, you can immediately accept this sug­gestion.

Note:

If necessary, you can switch off the smart
speller in the navigation settings.
It should also be noted that in southern
countries (e.g. Italy), the "prefix" (e.g. via
Gran Mundo) needs to be entered after­wards (e.g. Gran Mundo_via).

More maps

The memory card provided has a storage
capacity of 2 GB and offers sufficient
space for the complete European map set,
the Traffic Assist does not support larger
memory cards.
If you should lose the supplied memory
card or if it should become defective, the
map set can be installed on another mem­ory card.

Installation program

There is a map installation program on
the map DVD. Once the DVD is inserted
in a personal computer's DVD drive, this
program will usually start up automatical­ly. The program guides you through the
installation process.
Otherwise, you will have to start the pro­gram manually.

> Open Windows
> Select your DVD drive folder.
> Double click on the "Setup.exe" file.

Explorer.

Transferring files

Files can be transferred indirectly via the
memory card or directly via the USB port.

Note:

Only the maps supplied in the Traffic As­sist may be used. The installation or
transfer of files or programs which limit
or modify the function of the Traffic As­sist is prohibited!

Transferring using the SD card reader

The simplest and fastest form of transfer is
to use a standard SD card reader (does not
fall within the scope of supply). The
memory card is plugged into this.
The files required are then saved on
the memory card using the computer's
software.

Transferring using the USB port

The USB port is used to link the Traffic
Assist directly to a personal computer.
The Microsoft® Active Sync program
must be installed for transmission. Micro­soft® Active Sync is contained on the
DVD provided.

The link then involves several steps:

> Switch off Traffic Assist.
> Link the Traffic Assist and computer

using the USB cable.

> Switch on Traffic Assist again (do not

press the screen after the unit is

switched on).
ActiveSync automatically sets up a link to
the Traffic Assist.

30

>>>

Transferring maps

The installation software from the DVD
should be used for the transfer. This in­volves the following stages:

> switch off Traffic Assist.
> remove memory card and plug into an

SD card reading device or the use the
USB cable to connect the Traffic Assist
to the computer.

> boot up the computer and insert the

DVD.

> use the installation program to transfer

the map required.

> slide the memory card back into the

Traffic Assist or correctly remove the
USB cable.

> switch the Traffic Assist back on. The

new map is available right away

Transmitting music tracks, pictures and videos

As the complete European map set occu­pies virtually all the memory space on the
memory card provided, pictures, music
and videos should be stored on a separate
memory card (not included in scope of de­livery).
The files can be transferred via a card read­er or the USB connection.

Note:

Use obvious folder names because these
will help you later when you are trying to
find the file you want in the Traffic As­sist.

Faults

If unit faults relating to the operating sys­tem occur, messages to this effect will be
displayed. These should be acknowl­edged. If the activated function cannot
then be executed, the Traffic Assist must
be restarted using the ON/OFF switch or
the reset button.
If the messages reappear or the unit
does not function correctly for any other
reason, please contact your local stockist.

Note:

Never attempt to open the unit yourself.
Please contact your authorised dealer if
you are unable to remedy the fault.

What is navigation?

> P

> NL

> S

> N

> FIN

> TR

> GR

> PL

Navigation (Latin navigare = to travel by
sea) is generally understood to mean find­ing the position of a vehicle, determining
the direction of and distance from the de­sired destination and establishing and fol­lowing a route to this destination. Naviga­tional aids include the stars, distinct
objects, a compass and satellites.
The Traffic Assist uses its GPS receiver to
find the vehicle's position. (The Global
Positioning System (GPS) was developed
by the US military in the 1970's as a mis­sile guidance system.
GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites cir­cling the earth which continuously emit
signals. The GPS receiver receives these
signals and uses the delay of each of the
signals to calculate its distance from the
individual satellites. In turn, it can use this
information to determine its current geo­graphical position.

The signals of at least three satellites are
needed to establish position. If four or
more signals are available, height above
sea level can also be calculated).
Traffic Assist determines the direction of
and distance to the destination with the
aid of a digital road atlas on the SD card
and the navigation computer.
For safety, directions to the designation
are mainly provided verbally. The direc­tion display and map diagram on the
touch screen are further aids.

!Safety information

• The road traffic act takes precedence
all circumstances. The navigational
tem 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.

• When first started up, it may take up to
30 minutes before a position can be de­termined.

• Precedence should always be given to
actual traffic signs and local traffic
rules.

• The directions only relate to cars. Spe­cial recommendations and rules for
other vehicles (e.g. commercial vehi­cles) are not taken into consideration.

• Destinations may only be input when
the vehicle is stationary.

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.

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).

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 56.).

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. An orange ar­row continues to be displayed, which in­dicates the traffic direction which is
affected by the holdup.
In addition to the coloured mark, a warn­ing sign is displayed on the stretch of road
affected.

Using TMC*

Once you have connected the TMC an­tenna, your Traffic Assist will receive cur­rent traffic announcements and dynamic
route calculation will be enabled (traffic
jam diversion). You can also view traffic
announcements directly.
To preset the TMC, See "The TMC but­ton*" on page 56.

Specialist words

Active Sync

Active Sync is a Microsoft product. This is
the standard synchronisation software for
Windows mobile units such as your Traf­fic Assist. The programme can be down­loaded free-of-charge from the internet.

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 evaluates 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.

SPECIALIST WORDS >>>

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

Memory Card

A re-writable storage card. In the Traffic
Assist it is a SD card.

MP3

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

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.

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.

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.
