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

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 connector of the connecting
cable and push it all the way into the
connecting socket on the Traffic Assist
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!

mode is activated, it is automatically resumed if the Traffic Assist is switched
back on again within approx. 4 hours.

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.

If you have already entered some of the
letters of the selection you want, you can
use the selection list to display all the destinations containing the combination of
letters in question.

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.

the letters already entered are displayed.
The letters entered are coloured red in
the case of the individual entries.
