INSTALLATION

The following guides you step by step through the initial set up of the navigation
system.
Firstly, remove the foil for protecting the device during transportation from the display.

Switching on the navigation system
Switch the main switch (9) on the bottom of the device to ON.
Attention: Always leave the main switch on the ON position, unless you want to carry

out a new reinstallation. if the switch is set to OFF , All data will be lost and the initial
installation will have to be carried out again.
The Navigation System will start the initial installation automatically. The brand logo
will appear and your device will display the application screen after a few seconds.
You set the date and the time by means of the Setting Button on the touch screen
and the date/time control button. Set the applicable time zone, if available.
Attention: According to the charging status of the accumulator installed. It is necessary
for the device to be charged before the initial setting up can run through.

Charging Battery of the Navigation system
Note: When charging the battery, please be sure switch the Battery Switch to ON

position. In causing of charging, the Battery Charge Indicator is red.
You have different possibilities to charge the battery of your navigation system:

• With the help of the network adapter.

• By means of the car adapter.

• The battery charge indicator lights red until the navigation system is charged. Don
not interrupt the charging before the battery is fully charged. It will take a few hours
for the navigation system to be fully charged. When the battery is fully charged the
battery indicator will turn to green.

• Note: You can use the navigation system during the charging process, but the power
supply must not be interrupted during initial set-up.

• Leave the mains adapter connected to the navigation system for around 24 hours,
so that the backup battery can be fully charged.

• You can leave the main adapter connected, and this is very handy for continuous
operation. However, the mains adapter also requires power even when it is not
charging up the battery of the navigation system.

Push the adapter connector into the guide on the right of the network adapter. Push
the Network Adapter (2) into a power point that is easily accessible.
Push the cable of the Network Adapter (1) into the network adapter connection of the
navigation system.

Working with memory cards

Your navigation system supports SD memory cards.
Inserting memory cards

1.Carefully take the memory card out of its packing (if included). Take care not to touch

or dirty the contacts.

2.Push the memory card carefully into the card bay. The side of the memory card

wearing the label must point upwards. The memory card should slightly lock in place.

6

INSTALLATION

Removing memory cards

• Do not remove the memory card while it is accessed. This could result in loss of

data.

1.To remove the card press lightly onto the upper edge until it ejects.

2.Pull the card out without touching the contacts.

3.Store the memory card in the packing or in another safe location.

• Memory cards are very fragile. Take care not to dirty the contacts and not to force

the card.

Accessing Memory Cards

• The appliance only supports memory cards in the FAT16/32 file format. If you insert

a card prepared with a different format (e.g. in cameras, MP3 players), your navigation
system may not recognize it and will ask you to format it again.
Warning: Formatting the memory card irretrievably wipes out all data.

• Likewise you cannot just copy files onto the memory card. In some cases they must

be converted by the Microsoft ActiveSync program.

Data Exchange VIA Card Reader

You can transfer or synchronise data via ActiveSync. This is also the correct method,
in particular, if files are to be transferred that must be converted into a navigation
system-readable format.
However, if you wish to copy large quantities of data (navigation maps) to the memory
card, these can also be stored directly to the memory card.
Many computers already have memory card devices. Insert the card in this and copy
the data directly to the card.
Because of the direct access significantly faster transfer will be achieved.

Resetting The Navigation System

There are two options for resetting the navigation system.

Soft Reset

This option restarts the navigation system, without reinstallation being necessary. A
soft-reset is often used in order to reorganize the memory. In doing so all programs
that are running are interrupted and the working memory is reinitialized.
Choose this option if your navigation system is not responding or working properly.
Perform the soft-reset as follows: Screw off the end cap of the pointer and carefully
press the point of the end cap into the reset opening on the left side of your device.

Hard Reset
Warning: A hard-reset deletes all data on your appliance and causes a new initial

installation. It is not necessary to install the software on your synchronization computer
again, however.
Perform the hard-reset as follows: Push the BATTERY ON/OFF switch on the bottom
of the device to the OFF position initially and back to ON after two seconds.

GPS (Global Positioning System)

GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position. With the help of 24
satellites revolving around the earth, it is possible to determine your position on earth
with the accuracy of a few meters. The satellite signals are received by the antenna
of the built-in GPS receiver, 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 there line of sight is reestablished again.
The GPS receiver consumes additional power. This is especially of concern, when
running on batteries. 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. Here, it can take a short time for the position to
be updated again, according to the reception situation.

• Note: Please note that your appliance is preset to not shut down automatically after

a few minutes without activity. You can Change this preset in the Settings mode.

• 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

This option is only available to you if your navigation system is equipped with a prepared
memory card. In this case, you will ready be able to use the Navigation function of
your device after a short time, without carrying out the pre-installation on a PC.

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

• The following installation limits the Navigation to the area which is pre-installed on

your 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 following and p.23 and

following.

2.Install the remaining components of the navigation system.

3.Press the BATTERY ON/OFF button to start your navigation system. If the instructions

of Step1 have not yet been executed, then do it now. The battery should be charged.
The accumulator will be charged by means of the car power supply if necessary.

• Insert the pre-installed memory card in the navigation system 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.

• Carry out a Hard Reset initially, if you want to reinstall the navigation software.
