GPS (Global Positioning System)

GPS is a satellite-based system for determining a position anywhere on the earth
where the satellite signals can be received , it is accurate to around 5 metres depending
on the number of satellites being used to fix a given position. With the help of 24
satellites in low level orbit around the earth, it is possible to determine a position on
earth with the accuracy of a few metres. The satellite signals are received by the
antenna fitted to the GNAV10, which must have a “line of sight” to at least 4 of these.

• Note: By limited line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in woods or

also in vehicles with metal-coated windows) it is not possible to determine
the position. The satellite reception however automatically picks up again as

soon as the obstacle has been passed and the line of sight is re-established.
The GPS receiver consumes additional power. This is especially of concern, when
running on the internal battery. To conserve power do not turn on the GPS receiver
unnecessarily. However, you can also switch the device off by means of the ON/OFF
switch in the case of a shorter interruption to your journey. Pressing the same switch
again will activate a restart. The GPS receiver will also be reactivated at the same time,
if navigation software is still active. Upon reconnection it will take a short time for the
position to be updated again, subject to the reception conditions.

• Note: Please note that the GNAV10 is preset not to shut down automatically

after a few minutes without activity. This can be changed in the settings menu.

• If the GPS receiver has not been active for some hours, it must orientate itself

again. This process may take a while.

Memory Card Quick Installation

• The initial setting up must be carried out as described on page 16.

• The following installation limits the Navigation to the area which is pre-installed
on the supplied memory card.

You must carry out these steps to put the navigation into operation in your car:

1. Read and adhere to the safety instructions on p..2 and p.23.

2. Install the remaining components of the navigation system.

3. Press and hold the ON/OFF button to start the navigation system. If the
instructions of Step1 have not yet been executed, then do it now. The battery
should be charged. By means of the car power supply if necessary.

• Insert the pre-loaded memory card in the navigation system. The installation
of the navigation.

software will start automatically. Follow the instructions on the screen.

NOTES:

• The memory card must always be inserted into the device during the use of
the navigation system. A Soft Reset will have to be carried out to restart the
navigation system, if the memory card is removed during its use, even for a
short time.

• The software installation will have to be carried out again following a Hard

Reset.
Set the date and time by means of the Settings button and the date/time control button,
if this has not be done. set the time Zone if required.
