Preface
The XNAV3500P combines state-of-the-art turn-by-turn navigation with a built-in multimedia
player. Before operating, take a few minutes to review the safety and operating instructions in
this Quick Start Guide so you can quickly and safely become familiar with its many features.
This Quick Start Guide explains the system functions, and provides details on:
• Safety information
• Control locations
• Setting up the unit
• Basic navigation functions
• Multimedia functions
• System preferences
For detailed navigation functions and operation, please refer to the full-length owner’s manual
included in .pdf format on the DVD-ROM.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
This unit includes an internal Li-ion battery, and should be fully charged prior to first operation.
This unit is shipped in “full power off” mode. To activate the unit for first time use:
• Insert SD memory card
• Press the RESET button located on the left side of the unit
To return the unit to “full power off” mode, press and hold the RESET button for 3 seconds. The
clock settings and GPS signal information is erased when the unit is in “full power off” mode.
To turn the unit on/off normally, press the power button momentarily.
When turned on for the first time (or if the unit has been idle for several days, or been moved
more than 250 miles while off), it can take several minutes to acquire a GPS signal. GPS signal
acquisition times will be typically less than a minute when the unit is turned on again.

Safety Information and Precautions
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW MAY INCREASE YOUR RISK OF COLLISION AND
PERSONAL INJURY.
The warning screen is displayed each time the Navi Icon is selected as a reminder to make
use of the system’s navigational aids in a safe manner. Before using the XNAV3500P, read
this entire Quick Start Guide. Make sure that you are familiar with the features and know how
to operate the system.
Proper use of the XNAV3500P includes the following guidelines: The navigation system is not
a substitute for your personal judgment. The route suggestions should never supersede any
local traffic regulation or your personal judgment and /or knowledge of safe driving practices.
Prior to completing any maneuvers suggested by your navigation system (for example, a Uturn or a left turn), verify that you can legally and safely complete the maneuver. Do not follow
route suggestions if they direct you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place you
in an unsafe situation, or would route you into an area that you consider unsafe. Glance at the
screen only when necessary and safe to do so. Let the voice guide you. If prolonged viewing is
necessary, pull off the road to a safe location.
The database may not include all emergency service providers. Use your own best judgment
and ask for directions in these situations. If the vehicle is in motion, only a passenger should
program the unit. The driver should not program the unit unless the vehicle is parked in a
safe location. The map database provides information on suggested routes without regard
to factors that may affect your driving experience or the time required to arrive at your
destination. For example, the system does not reflect road detours, closures or construction,
some road characteristics (e.g., road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions,
etc.), temporary traffic congestion, weather conditions, and similar factors.

Introduction to your Navigation System
As you travel, your navigation system functions as your co-pilot, providing turn-by-turn visual
and voice assistance to direct you to your selected destination. Because the system knows
where you are and where you want to go, it can quickly calculate step-by-step directions that
provide a route to any destination available on the included navigation map. The map includes
millions of roadway and mapping destinations, and pre-programmed point of interest (POI)
locations in several different categories. Simply enter your desired destination into your
navigation system, and its advanced intelligence does the rest.
With your navigation system, if you deviate from the planned route, the navigation system will
automatically recalculate the route to determine a new one from your current location.
The navigation system uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, and a digital roadway
map database to calculate and display travel directions. The system’s GPS antenna receives
signals from a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the earth and uses the strongest of
signals to determine your position to within meters. The navigation system’s sophisticated
software provides the highly accurate positioning necessary to provide real-time, accurate,
turn-by-turn route guidance.
Vehicle Position
The navigation system’s computer considers vehicle speed and heading changes, together
with longitude and latitude information, to accurately determine vehicle heading and
position on a digital map. This information is relayed to you as you proceed to your selected
destination through audible suggestions, turn symbols, and the on-screen map.
Signals from GPS satellites are used to determine the vehicle location. Three (good) or four
(best) satellites must be received to accurately determine location. The GPS reception status is
indicated by the GPS satellite indicator on the map. See the GPS indicator section on page 16
for more information.
Map and Information Database
The map database used by your navigation system was created using high-resolution aerial
and land based data collection and is stored on a memory card. This data is enhanced with
useful travel information, such as freeway signage and approximately two million points of
interest locations in several different categories, such as tourist attractions, gas stations,
airports, and restaurants. While the database was judged to be as accurate as possible at
the time of its release, a map database can never be 100% accurate. Road information that is
maintained in the map databases, such as turn restrictions or road names, may change over
time. In addition, points of interests, such as restaurants, hotels, and gas stations, also change
over time. The complexity of keeping this directory current means that some information may
be missing or out-of-date at times.

Getting Started
Inserting an SD Card
Your device has an SD card slot located in the top of the unit. Digital maps and other data
including MP3 files, .avi files and image files can be added. To use the memory card, insert
it with the connector pointing down into the slot, and the label facing the front of the device.
To remove the card, power off the unit, slightly push down on the top of the card to release it,
then pull it out of the slot.
Mounting and Connecting Power
1. First, clean the windshield.
Then push the center of
the suction cup onto the
windshield before pressing
the suction lever down.
3.Connect the supplied DC
power adapter to the

GPS and BRIGHTNESS). By tapping on the down arrow on the right, two more modes (TIME
SET, & CALIBRATE) appear.
Each button represents a software function (NAVI, MUSIC, MOVIE or PICTURE) or a user setup
function (GPS, BRIGHTNESS, TIME SET, or CALIBRATE). To access any of the modes, just tap
the corresponding icon. Press the NavAtlas button to return to the main menu.

Navigation
This function guides you to your destination using voice prompts and mapping, showing
crossroads, city names and much more. It also provides various map-guiding modes and the
approximate time left until you arrive at your destination. For your safety, it also lets you know
when to make a turn by blinking LEDs on the left/right side.
Touch the ‘NAVI’ icon on the main menu screen, and wait for the navigation program to load
all the necessary data. For instructions on basic navigating, skip to page 17.

player, just download and save your favorite MP3s to the root folder of any SD card and play.
Touch the ‘MUSIC’ icon on the main menu screen. Once the MP3 player skin loads, the screen
will display a playlist from which you can select a specific music track. You can also use the
slide control at the lower right to select a specific point of the track.
Additional buttons are visible in the lower section of the player skin, including rewind,
play/pause, and repeat. Press the NavAtlas button to return to the main menu.
