Initial Set-up

The following guides you step by step through the initial Set-up of the navigation system.
Firstly, remove the foil from the display.

I. Charging the Battery

You have the following possibilities to charge the battery of your navigation system:

• by means of the car adapter,

• by means of the USB cable (optional) or

• by means of the AC adapter (optional).

Attention!

It can be necessary to recharge the battery for some time initially before it
is possible to run through the initial installation, according to the state of
charging of the battery installed.

Please pay attention to the following notes when handling the battery:

• The charging status display shines orange until the navigation system is charged. If

possible, do not interrupt the charging process before the battery is fully charged.
This may take a few hours. It will shine green when the accumulator is completely
charged.

• You can use the navigation system during the charging process, but the power

supply must not be interrupted during initial set-up.

• Leave the external power supply connected to the navigation system for around 24

hours, so that the backup battery also charges-up fully.

• You can leave the external power supply connected, and this is very handy for con-

tinuous operation. However, the mains adapter also requires power even when it is
not charging up the battery of the navigation system.

• It can take several minutes until the device is ready to operate again, following the

connection of the external power supply, if the charging state of the battery is very
low.

• The battery can be charged while the device is switched off completely.

Alternative possibility of charging the battery

The battery will charge as soon as you connect your navigation device to a switched-on PC
or notebook by means of a USB cable. No type of software or drivers installation will be
necessary for this. Do not interrupt the charging process if possible during the initial bring­ing into operation.

Note

Brief pressure on the on/off button will be enough to switch the de-

vice on or off, provided that your navigation system is connected to an
external source of electricity or is running in battery operation (standby
mode).

You can adjust the operating time of your device to your requirements by
means of the Settings button on the main screen. Your device is delivered
in a state in which it will not switch off itself automatically, when it is
switched on and not being used.

To switch your navigation system completely off, push the on/off button
at the bottom of the device to the OFF position.

No data will be lost during this because of the storage of data in the inter­nal memory. The starting process will only last slightly longer.

Your navigation system will use a low amount of electricity and the batteries will be dis­charged, even when it is in the standby mode.

IV. Installing the Navigation Software

The final installation of the navigation software will take place automatically from the in­ternal memory, during the initial setting up, if your device has already been equipped with
the basic data of the navigation software at the factory. Follow the instructions on the
screen.

An optional memory card must always have to be inserted in the device while the naviga­tion system is being used.

It will be necessary to carry out a Reset to restart the navigation system if the memory card
has been removed (see page 25).

Please also read the chapter Navigation starting on page 26.
