SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety information

!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.

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.

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.

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.

18

GENERAL OPERATION

Memory card

Your Traffic Assist has a slot for a Micro SD memory card.

As the card data is stored on an internal memory in the Traffic Assist, the slot for the Micro SD memory card is only used for updates.

The card slot is located on the left side 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 contact bar faces towards the front 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.

Unit bracket

The Traffic Assist can be attached directly to the windscreen with the unit holder.

Note:

The Traffic Assist and unit bracket must not be exposed to long periods of direct sunlight. Temperatures inside the vehicle of +70 C and higher may damage parts of the bracket.

GENERAL OPERATION

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 73).

Basic information about the menus

During operations, you are assisted by various menus and entry windows.

The main menu

The top menu level is the main menu. The individual applications are started from the main menu.

You will find information about the individual applications in the corresponding main chapters.

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.

The non-selectable characters are shown in a lighter font.

>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.

>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.
