its correct operation.
The initialisation process is finished when the reception of more
than 3 satellites is assured after about 20 seconds.
Note: This initialisation process must be carried out only once.
The other times, the GPS receiver will be ready within about one
minute.
Note: When the GPS receiver is connected to the power supply
for the first time, leave it connected for about 2 hours in order to
charge its battery.
Note: A new initialisation may become necessary when the GPS
receiver has not been in use. In this case, the initialisation
process would take about 10 minutes.
Caution: Disconnect the receiver from the power supply when
you are leaving the car parked for a longer period. Failure to do
so might result in a flat battery as the receiver consumes
electricity permanently.

2.3 The basic principle of navigation
OnCourse Navigator The time of complicated and frustrating inquiries on the righ t way
in folded maps is over. From now on OnCourse Navigator, your
navigation system, will guide you, based on satellite info rmation,
quickly and safely to your destination.
GPS based
navigation
The Global Positioning System (GPS) has originally been
developed in the 70ies, as a weapon guidance system for the
American forces.
The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the
earth and which are permanently emitting signals. The GPS
receiver receives those signals and calculates, based on the
runtime of the signals, his distance from the respective satellites.
This information serves for calculation your current geographic
position.
The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine
the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four
satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination
has an accuracy of about 9 feet.
Navigation with GPS The delivered maps contain the geographic coordinates of the
points of interest, streets and cities they represent. Thus the
navigation system can calculate a route from a given start point
to a given destination point.
In case your navigation system receives the signals of at least
three satellites it may determine your current position and
represents it on the map. This position may then serve as start
point for navigation purposes.
As the determination and representation of your position is
carried out once a second, you may watch your movements on
the map.
Traffic information
with TMC
TMC operating mode The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is based on a news
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) provides the navigation
system with the latest traffic information. An external TMC
receiver which is connected to your PocketPC receives these
signals broadcasted by radio stations.
system. Traffic information is recorded continually this is done
automatically by sensors on the Interstates and by the police.
This information is then forwarded to th e radio stations without
delay. It is digitally coded, differentiated according to routes and
driving directions and transmitted inaudibly.
The TMC receiver extracts the TMC data from the RDS signal or
from XM radio and provides the navigation software with them.
Current traffic obstructions may then be displayed.
The reported obstructions may be considered for route
calculation. In case of obstructions on the computed route, they
may be used for computing an alternative route, which evades
the obstruction.
OnCourse Navigator features dynamic navigation, which is well
adapted to the current traffic situation, based on RDS signals.

2.4 Important safety information
Note In your own interest, read the following notices and safety
information carefully before starting up your navigation system.
2.4.1 Safety information on navigation
Use of OnCourse Navigator is executed at your own risk.
Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents please do
not operate the navigation system while driving!
Caution: You must not look at the display except when it is
absolutely safe to do so!
Caution: The road layout and the traffic signs are absolutely
prior to the instructions of the navigation system.
Caution: You must not follow the instructions of OnCourse
Navigator except when the circumstances and the road traffic
regulations allow doing so. OnCourse Navigator will guide you
to your destination even when you have left your planned
itinerary.
Note: We recommend effecting route planning before beginning
the journey. If you are on the road and you want to establish a
new itinerary, please drive to the next parking site!
Note: If you have not understood the instructions or if you are
not sure about what to do next you may quickly refer to the map
or arrow view of your navigation system.

User's manual OnCourse Navigator 5
2.4.2 Safety information on the GPS receiver
Caution: As it is not waterproof, do not expose your GPS
receiver to water!
Caution: Do not install the cable next to security relevant
equipment and supply lines.
Caution: Please check the security relevant equipment when you
have installed the navigation system.
Caution: The GPS receiver should be disconnected from the
power supply while your car is parking. As it spends energy
permanently, you might risk discharging the car battery.
Caution: The installation of the GPS receiver must not interfere
with the sure operation of your car.
Note: Do not varnish the GPS receiver. Doing so might impede
the reception of GPS signals.
Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the GPS
receiver. A damp cloth is sufficient! You might damage the case
of the GPS receiver.
Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the
cable!
Note: Do not fold the cable. Check that the cable may not be
damaged by any sharp object.
2.4.3 Safety information on the installation in the vehicle
Caution: Do not fix the holder within the deployment zone of
airbags.
Caution: When you install the holder, please check that it may
not constitute any safety risk, even in case of an accident.
