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.

Fitting the unit bracket
The unit bracket can be secured directly
to the inside of the windscreen or to the
dashboard.
Note:
Fasten the unit holder such that your
field of vision is not impaired when the
Traffic Assist is installed and ensure that
the unit is outside the deployment area of
the airbag.
Ensure that the electrical connection cable
does not hamper you from accessing
the vehicle's controls.
Also ensure that there is enough space to
easily slide the Traffic Assist back out of
the bracket.
Clean the mounting area on the windscreen or dashboard so that it is clean and
free of grease. Do not use smearing, soapy
cleaning agents, otherwise this may affect
how it sticks to the dashboard.
On the windscreen
If the dashboard is too far away from
the driver, the unit bracket can be
fitted irectly to the windscreen using the
suction mechanism.
> If the adapter plate (4) is already secured
at the foot (5), remove this. Pull the lever (3) upwards and remove the adapter
plate (4) downwards for this purpose.
> Find a suitable position.
> Press the base (5) with its suction sur-
face against the windshield.
> Rotate the unit bracket so that the sup-
port plate is roughly in the direction of
viewing required.
> Press the lever (3) downwards.
The bracket will have stuck firmly to the
windscreen. It can now be set precisely.
To remove, actuate the lever (3) again.
On the dashboard
An adapter plate is provided for mounting
on the dashboard. This is stuck on to the
dashboard. The mounting face may only
be slightly curved.
Note:
If the adapter plate is removed, you may
find residue from the glue on your dashboard.
> Find a suitable position.
> Remove the protective film from the
lower contact surface of the adapter
plate (4). Press the adapter plate (4)
onto the instrument panel.
> Take the unit holder, pull the lever (3)
upwards and position the base (5) with
its suction surface into the upper contact surface of the adapter (4).
> Turn the unit holder such that the car-
rier plate is positioned roughly in the
desired viewing direction.
> Press the lever (3) downwards.
The bracket will have stuck firmly to the
adapter. It can now be set precisely.
To remove, actuate the lever (3) again.

Adjusting the unit bracket
The support plate (7) can be swung in two
directions (horizontally and vertically). It
can thereby be set at virtually every angle
of vision to the driver.
Note:
Do not swing the support plate in both
directions at the same time! Before moving, always take the Traffic Assist off the
unit bracket.
Vertical movements
> Loosen the fastening screws (2) on both
sides far enough to be able to swivel the
carrier plate (7) downwards from above
without exerting excessive force.
> Use one hand to hold the foot (5) and
swing the support plate (7) up to the
centre or down into the position you
want.
> Tighten the fastening screws (2) suffi-
ciently so that the Traffic Assist is held
securely in place when the vehicle is in
motion.
Horizontal movements
> Loosen the locking screw (1) until the
support plate (7) can be swung from left
to right without too much effort.
> Use one hand to hold the foot (5)
and swing the support plate (7) to the
left, to the centre or to the right into the
position you want.
> Retighten the locking screw (1) again so
that the Traffic Assist is secure for travel.
Adding the Traffic Assist
The unit holder (6) is equipped with four
guides, the carrier plate (7) has corresponding retaining lugs.
> Position the unit holder with the guides
onto the carrier plate retaining lugs.
> Slide the unit holder downwards to the
stop.
The Traffic Assist has receptacles for the
unit holder on the top and bottom of the
housing.
> Insert the Traffic Assist into the unit
holder with the receptacles on the bot-
tom of the housing.

holder without employing excessive
force until the clip (8) engages in the re-
ceptacle.

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.

>>>
Entering characters
Characters are entered by pressing the
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).
> To accept the suggested entry, press the
destination or the button .
Scrolling through the lists
If you have already entered some of the
letters of the selection you want, you can
use the selection list to display all the destinations containing the combination of
letters in question.
> To call up the selection list, press the
key.
The selection list appears.
