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.
THE TRAFFIC ASSIST>>>

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 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.

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.
> CZ
> H
> SK

Page 17
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.

What is navigation?
> D
> GB
> F
> I
> E
> P
> NL
> DK
> S
> N
> FIN
> TR
> GR
> PL
The term "navigation" (lat. navigare = to
travel by sea) is generally understood to
mean the location of a vehicle, the determination of the direction and distance
from the desired destination and the determination of the required route. Stars,
prominent landmarks, compass and satellites etc. are used as navigation aids.
With the Traffic Assist, the location is determined by the GPS receiver. The Global
Positioning System (GPS) was developed
during the 1970s by the US military as a
weapons guiding system.
GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites orbiting the Earth and emitting signals. A
GPS receiver receives these signals and
uses the signal times to calculate the distance to an individual satellite, and then
determines your current geographical position.
Signals from at least three satellites are required to determine your position; your
height above sea level can be calculated if
signals are received from four or more satellites.
The Traffic Assist determines the direction and distance from the destination using a navigation computer and a digital
street map held in its internal memory.
For safety reasons, route guidance is givenpredominantly in spoken form. This is
supported by a direction indicator and a
map display on the touch screen.
!Safety instructions
• Road traffic regulations always take
priority. The navigation system is only
an aid. Errors may occur in individual
data items/entries. At all times, the
driver must decide whether or not to
heed the information provided.
We do not accept liability for erroneous data provided by the navigation
system.
• When first put into use it can take up
to 30 minutes to fix the position.
• Observation of traffic signs and local
traffic regulations must always take priority.
• Traffic guidance is restricted to passenger vehicles. Special driving recommendations and regulations for other
vehicles (e.g. commercial vehicles) are
not included.
• Destinations may only be entered
when the vehicle is stationary.

Traffic announcements
using TMC*
Provided the charger cable for the
cigarette lighter is connected to the
integrated TMC antenna, your Traffic
Assist can receive traffic announcements
from radio stations.
Note:
TMC is not available in all countries
(currently only Belgium, Germany, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands,
Austria, Sweden, Switzerland and Spain).
Traffic announcements are transmitted by
radio stations via the TMC (Traffic Message Channel) in addition to the radio
programme and are received and analysed
by the navigation system. Receiving traffic
announcements is free of charge.

Austria: The location and event code was
made available by ASFINAG and BMVIT.
The Traffic Assist constantly checks
whether there are any relevant announcements for the route that has been set. All
traffic problems that have been received
are shown on the map.
If the continuous checks determine that a
traffic announcement is relevant to route
guidance, the unit can automatically recalculate a new route to the destination
(See “The TMC button*” on page 50.)
Displaying TMC messages on the

Current TMC messages are displayed on
the map graphically. Sections of the route
where there are traffic problems are highlighted blue. Arrows indicating the traffic
direction which is affected by the traffic
problem continue to be displayed.
In addition to the coloured mark, a warning sign is displayed on the stretch of road
affected.
Using TMC*
Once you have connected the TMC antenna, your Traffic Assist will receive current traffic announcements and dynamic
route calculation will be enabled (traffic
jam diversion). You can also view traffic
announcements directly.

(Greenwich Mean Time)
Central European Time
The standard time at 0 degrees of longitude (the longitude which passes through
Greenwich, Great Britain). This time is
used worldwide for the synchronisation of
data collection.
GPS
(Global Positioning System)
GPS determines your actual geographical
position by the use of satellites. It is based
on 24 satellites which orbit the Earth and
emit signals. The GPS receiver receives
these signals and calculates the distance to
each satellite from the running time differences and thus evaluates its actual current position in terms of geographical
length and width. In order to determine
the position, signals from at least three satellites are required, and the fourth one allows the height to be determined.
SD Card
(Secure Digital)
The Secure Digital Card was developed in
2001 by SanDisk on the basis of the older
MMC standard. An SD card is a re-writable change-over storage card.
Stylus
A stylus is an input pointer which is used
for the operation of touch-screens, mobile
phones or PDAs.
The stylus consists basically of a plastic
pointer with a softer plastic core. The
sleeve is hard and can be gripped and the
softer core emerges at the tip and is designed to touch the screen as softly as possible (i.e. without the danger of scratching
the screen).
The stylus is more accurate than operation
using the fingers, since only the thin tip
touches the screen. In addition, dirty
marks on the screen caused by finger
prints are avoided.
