guide
This operating manual describes the
Traffic Assist Z217.
Functions that are only available as an option are indicated with an asterisk (*) and
a corresponding footnote. These optional
functions can be activated later via the
Content Manager, subject to a charge.
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.
The Traffic Assist can be used as:
• navigational unit
• MP3 (device for playing music)*
• Picture viewer*
• Video player*
• Via a cell phone with Bluetooth® as a
very comfortable hands-free unit.
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).
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.

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 unit
and the accessories from water and
moisture. If your unit has been exposed
to moisture, switch it off immediately
and disconnect the power supply. Allow
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.

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.

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 connector of the connecting
cable and push it all the way into the
connecting socket on the Traffic Assist
or the connecting socket on the underside of the carrier plate 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.
TMC announcements can only be received when the power supply is connected to the carrier plate.
> CZ
> H
> SK

GENERAL OPERATION >>>
Connection to the mains outlet
!Danger!
Ensure that you do not have wet hands
and that the power supply unit is dry.

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:
> Hold the connector and push it all the
way into the connecting socket in the
Traffic Assist without using excessive
force.
> Insert the plug of the power supply unit
into the socket.
Note:

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.

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
the side.
> Connect the external antenna using the
optionally available adapter.
Cable for vehicle integration (optional)
With the optional cable you can integrate
your Traffic Assist seamlessly into your vehicle.
With this cable you can:
• connect your Traffic Assist to the phone
mute function of your audio system. If
the cable is connected correctly, your
audio system will mute the car radio
during navigation announcements.
• connect your Traffic Assist to your audio system for output of the audio signal.
• You can connect an optionally available
microphone.
The individual connectors on the other
end of the cable are labelled.
> Insert the cable into the socket provided
on the underside of the carrier plate.
Note:
As soon as the cable is connected, the
Traffic Assist loudspeaker is switched off.

Memory card
Your Traffic Assist has a slot for a micro
SD memory card.
As the map data is stored in an internal
memory on the Traffic Assist, the slot for
a micro SD memory card is used for updates and for playing music*, viewing images* or watching videos*.
The memory card can also be used for
supplementing the map data.
The card slot is located on the left on the
underside of the unit. The card slot is
equipped with a spring-actuated locking
and ejector mechanism.
Inserting memory card
> Remove the memory card from its
packaging without touching or soiling
the contact bar.
> Hold the memory card so that the con-
tact strip is facing towards the rear of
the unit.
> Guide the memory card into the card
slot.
> Exert a little pressure and slide the
memory card into the card slot until it
snaps in.
Ejecting memory card
The card slot ejects the card so that you
can pull it out with two fingers.
> Use your finger to gently press the
memory card against the spring force
into the card slot and then release it.
The card is ejected.
> Remove the memory card and place it
in the packaging while ensuring not to
touch contact bar.

GENERAL OPERATION >>>
Switching off
You can switch the unit off at any time.
> Press the button on the top of the Traf-
fic Assist.
The Traffic Assist switches to sleep mode.
> To switch off the Traffic Assist com-
pletely, set the On/Off switch on the
underside of the unit to Off.
Note:
We recommend that you place the Traffic Assist in sleep mode in the event of
short interruptions to operation (of up to
a week).
This significantly reduces the switch-on
time and the Traffic Assist finds the satellites required for navigation much faster.
If route guidance was active when sleep
mode is activated, it is automatically resumed if the Traffic Assist is switched
back on again within approx. 4 hours.
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
When you touch a button on the touchscreen, the button in question is briefly
shown outlined in red to confirm the selection.
If you touch a button that is not active at
the moment, a short signal tone sounds.
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 124).

GENERAL OPERATION >>>
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 data with
the stored data.
Only those letters that are still possible are
available for selection.
Characters that cannot be selected are displayed greyed out.
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.
