repairs or tampering on the part of the
buyer or unauthorised third parties.
Repairs may only be performed by persons and service centres expressly authorised by the manufacturer or by the
manufacturer himself.
This warranty does not affect or
restrict the legal warranty rights of
the buyer.

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.
A micro-fibre cloth is particularly
suitable for the display.
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 navigati on s yst em f or a lon g ti me t o co me i f 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.
GENERAL OPERATION >>>
• 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.
19
>>> 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.
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 Navigation device has been
unpacked and checked for damage, the
unit can be started up. The individual
start-up steps are:
• connect to power supply.
•switching on the unit.
• ensuring antenna reception (if
navigation is desired)
Power supply
Note:
You can charge the Navigation device
via the car charger cable included in the
scope of delivery or via the optionally
available mains power supply unit.
When the Navigation device is connected to a PC, it is supplied with power via
the PC and does not consume battery
power.
20
GENERAL OPERATION >>>
Using the battery
The internal power supply is via the
integrated rechargeable battery. The
rechargeable battery is maintenancefree and does not require any particular
care.
You are alerted by a warning message
when the battery should be recharged.
After the alert, the device can still be
used for approximately 10 minutes
before switching off automatically.
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:
> Grasp the connector of the connection
cable and insert it gently without force
into the connector socket of the
navigation device up to the stop, or in
the case of a device with an active
cradle, on the underside of the
supporting plate. (Model dependent,
this step is not required on navigation
devices with magnetic holders)
> 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 Navigation
device for long periods with the engine
switched off.
To receive TMC messages (depending
on the model), the power supply must
be connected to the supporting plate in
the case of a device with an active
cradle.
21
>>> GENERAL OPERATION
Connection to the mains outlet
¤ Danger!
Make sure that your hands are not wet
and that the power supply unit is dry.
Only connect the power supply unit to
a permissible mains power supply.
Connecting to 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

>>> GENERAL OPERATION
Note:
We recommend that you place the
Navigation device 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 Navigation device finds the
satellites required for navigation much
faster.
If route guidance was active when sleep
mode is activated, it is automatically
resumed if the Navigation device is
switched back on again within approx.
4hours.
If the device cannot be switched off
anymore or no longer works reliably, it
is possible to switch off the device
completely by pressing the button on
the top for longer than 7 seconds.
Basic information about the touch screen
The Navigation device 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 touch
screen, 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 (model dependent)
A calibration can only be carried out on
devices with resistive display, devices
with capacitive display do not have to be
calibrated.
If the touch screen responds
inaccurately, a calibration must be
carried out.
The calibration function is started from
the menu (see also page 142).

>>> 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 keyboard layout can be switched
between ABC and QWERTZ, see page
“Keyboard layout” on page 138
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
Navigation device for processing.
When a navigation destination is
entered, the Navigation device compares
the data with the stored data.
Only those letters that are still possible
area vailable for selection.
Characters that cannot be selected are
displayed greyed out.
Accepting proposals
During entry, the Navigation device
makes proposals in the uppermost line.
The proposals take into account your
usage habits. For example, 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.
