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 Pro 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 Pro 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.
Music
Thanks to the integrated MP3-Player, you
can listen to your favourite tracks when on
the go.
Pictures
The Traffic Assist Pro has a Picture Viewer offering many functions for viewing
pictures.
Video
Traffic Assist Pro features a video player
for playing videos.

Your Traffic Assist Pro is equipped with
Bluetooth® wireless technology. You can
connect a mobile phone equipped with
Bluetooth® wireless technology to it via
Bluetooth. Your Traffic Assist Pro the
serves as a very convenient hands-free
unit. In addition, you also have the option
of reading out the mobile phone's address
book or phonebook.

General operation
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.
GENERAL OPERATION >>>
• 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.

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 Pro 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 4 GB which is sufficient for
one map set. The Traffic Assist Pro does
not support larger memory cards.
If you wish to listen to music or view pictures/videos using the Traffic Assist Pro,
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 Pro while navigation is underway, it must be stored on the supplied
memory card or a USB storage medium.
The Traffic Assist Pro does not support
changing of the memory card while navigation is underway.

You can connect a USB memory stick or
an external hard drive to your Traffic Assist Pro.
Images, music or videos can then be accessed from these storage media.
Notes:
• Only external hard drives with a maximum power consumption of 500mA
may be operated. The hard drive can
only be operated when the Traffic Assist Pro is powered via the mains adapter or via the car power adapter.
• Please note that when using USB
memory sticks to play MP3 files or display images or videos, the battery capacity may be considerably reduced
(without external power supply).
The USB port for storage media is located
on the right side of the unit.
