The use and operation of navigation systems
Attention! Don’t operate with the device while driving. Even the smallest
traffic for you and other road users - even at slow speeds - have devastating consequences
Type in the destination before starting your journey
If you have to change the route or the settings while driving, you should better stop for it.
Please attach the navigation system in the vehicle, that it not restricts the driver's visual field, or as little as
possible. Turn the screen that you have a minimal glare (light from outside). The mount can be rotated and
swiveled in any vehicle and provides an optimal position.
Please adjust the volume to a comfortable level
volume and not too loud to get shocked on an advice.
After switch on the device it could takes a few moments to find the required minimum number of navigation
satellites. Depending on the environment, it may go faster or longer. Under the open sky, it is the fastest.In
inner cities with relatively narrow streets and tall buildings, this process may take longer, because the view
to the "the field of view up" is very narrow and that cause reflections of the satellite signals. In metallised
windscreens it is possible that you need additional GPS antennas.
After you the address input and the start of the navigation you can start driving. The device will advice you
imidiatly after it get a gps fix.
and start the navigation system before you start driving.
you: loud enough to understand it with a normal radio
and shortest distractions from road
.
In tunnels, parking garages, homes, etc. The system does not working! Once you exit the tunnel or parking
garage, the connection to the satellites will be built as quickly as possible.
The map data is up to date in time of production of your navigation system. Nevertheless, it may happen
that you may have long-known streets, house numbers, roundabouts, etc. are not included. This is not a
fault, but due to the fact that municipalities do not report all changes in street guides to manufacturers of
digital data. They also drive along the road network itself to update the map data. Nevertheless, it can ever
happen in priority order that such changes are only incorporated into the following versions.

IMPORTANT: When employing a navigation system in a vehicle, i.e., this software
and the accompanying hardware, it is your responsibility to set up, secure and use
the system in a manner that does not restrict your vision in any way and will not
lead to accidents, injuries or material damages. You, as the user of this product, are
solely responsible for driving safely. Do not handle this product while driving—
always park the car first.
