!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.

guide
This operating guide describes the two devices Traffic Assist 7827 and Traffic Assist
7977. The difference between the two devices lies in the additional Bluetooth enablement of the Traffic Assist 7977.
All descriptions, except for 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 7977.
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)
• Picture viewer
• Video player
• Can be used as a very convenient handsfree unit via Bluetooth®*
Navigation
Thanks to GPS = Global Positioning Sys-
tem, 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.
> SK

>>>
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.
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)
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 wish to listen to music or view pictures/videos using the Traffic Assist, we
recommend that you store this data on a
separate memory card or a USB storage
medium (not included in the scope of delivery).
If you wish to listen to music using the
Traffic Assist while navigation is underway, it must be stored on the supplied
memory card or a USB storage medium.
The Traffic Assist does not support
changing of the memory card while navigation is underway.
