THE TRAFFIC ASSIST
Use
The Traffic Assist is a powerful PND (Personal Navigation Device) for use in vehicles and closed spaces. The unit and the accessories are to be protected against moisture and dirt.
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).
Your Traffic Assist is equipped with TMC. TMC gives you the option of receiving traffic announcements. You will then be informed of any traffic problems. The system plans an alternative route automatically or on request to avoid traffic problems, depending on the setting.
Unpacking the Traffic Assist
Note:
Your Traffic Assist is supplied in stable packaging. Do not unpack the unit in full if you discover any serious damage to the packaging or its content. If this happens, please contact your local stockist.
Checking the delivery
Before the Traffic Assist is started up, the delivery should be checked to ensure that it is complete and in the correct condition (see also page 12).
>Carefully unpack the content of the package and check it.

GENERAL OPERATION
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:
•connect to power supply
•Switching on the unit
•Ensuring antenna reception (if navigation is desired)
Power supply
Note:
You can charge the Traffic Assist via the car charger cable included in the scope of delivery or via the optionally-available mains power supply unit.
When the Traffic Assist is connected to a PC, it is supplied with power via the PC and does not consume battery power.
16
GENERAL OPERATION
Using the battery
The internal power supply is via the integrated rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is maintenance-free and does not require any particular care.
Note:
Note that if the battery is completely discharged, it may take up to a minute before the device can be switched on again.
Note:
In the event of a defective battery, please contact your authorised dealer. Please do not attempt to remove the battery yourself.
Connection for the cigarette lighter
Note:
If the cigarette lighter has recently been used and is still hot, wait until the lighter socket has cooled down.
Connect the power supply via the vehicle battery and the cable provided for the cigarette lighter as follows:
>Hold the USB socket at the corrugated grip area and push it into the connecting socket on the Traffic Assist or into the connecting socket on the carrier plate as far as the stop, without using excessive force.
>Insert the adapter into the cigarette lighter.
Note:
When the engine is switched off, the power supply slowly discharges the vehicle battery via the cigarette lighter!
Do not therefore operate the Traffic Assist for long periods with the engine switched off.
Note:
The TMC messages are received via the cable for the cigarette lighter. Messages can therefore only be received if the cable is connected.

GENERAL OPERATION
Connection to the mains outlet
!Danger!
Ensure that you do not have wet hands and that the power supply unit is dry. Only connect the power supply unit to a permissible mains power supply.
Connecting power supply
Connection to the public mains grid is achieved using the optionally available mains power supply unit. Please proceed as follows to connect to the mains:
>Open the cover on the left side of the unit of the Traffic Assist.
>Hold the USB connector at the corrugated grip area and push it into the connecting socket of the Traffic Assist as far as the stop without employing excessive force.
>Insert the plug of the power supply unit into the socket.
Note:
Remove the power supply unit when not using the Traffic Assist for longer periods of time.
TMC antenna
The supplied TMC antenna is integrated into the cable for power supply.
The TMC antenna runs in parallel with the the cigarette lighter cable in the delivered condition.
If the TMC reception is poor, you must remove the cable of the TMC antenna from the cable for the cigarette lighter. You can then use the supplied suction cup to attach the TMC antenna to the windshield.
Note:
The TMC antenna must be installed in such a way that it does not distract you while driving.
GPS-antenna
Unit antenna
The GPS antenna is integrated into the housing.
Note:
The integrated GPS antenna is not suitable for use in vehicles with anti-glare windows (metalised thermo-glass or metal foil, indicated by the window label - SIGLA SOL, SIGLA CHROM, SIGLA, KOOL-OF, SUNGATE, etc.) and vehicles with fine-meshed heating wires in the windows.
If this is the case, use an external GPS antenna. Please consult your local specialist dealer.
18
GENERAL OPERATION
Connecting up external antenna
To enable reception under adverse reception conditions, an external GPS antenna can be connected (not included). For this purpose, a closable connecting socket is located on the rear of the housing. If no external antenna is connected, this connection must always be closed again.
>Open the closure by pulling gently on its upper surface.
>Connect the external antenna using the optionally available adapter.
Memory card
Your Traffic Assist has a slot for a Micro SD memory card.
Because the map data is stored in an internal memory with Traffic Assist, the slot for a micro SD memory card is only used for update purposes.
The card slot is located on the left side of the device. The card compartment is equipped with a spring-actuated engange and eject mechanism.
Inserting memory card
>Remove the memory card from its packaging without touching or soiling the contact bar.

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 right 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.
When a navigation destination is entered, the Traffic Assist compares the entry with the set of data.
The Traffic Assist then only makes those letters which are possible available for selection.
The non-selectable characters are shown in a lighter font.

GENERAL OPERATION
Accepting proposals
During entry, the Traffic Assist makes proposals in the uppermost line.
The proposals take into account your usage habits. For instance, if you enter the city of Hamburg often, then after you enter the letter “H” the proposal “Hamburg” is automatically displayed.
If no preferences are known for the letter entered, then cities/locations suitable for the entry are displayed as proposals.
> To accept the proposal, you may press either the input field 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.
Note:
The quantity of selection options is displayed in the form of the number on the button. When there are more than 300 options, the precise number is not displayed.
In the list, all the entries corresponding to the letters already entered are displayed. The letters entered are coloured red in the case of the individual entries.
The selection list appears.
>Press the 
arrow keys on the right hand side of the screen to scroll through the list.
>Press the destination you want.
The destination is adopted and the selection list is closed.
