high-frequency and magnetic interference (televisions, loudspeaker systems, mobile telephones etc. This will help avoid malfunctions and loss of data.
• Electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves during operation.
These emissions are harmless, but can interfere with other devices operated in
close proximity.
While our devices are tested and optimized for electromagnetic compliance in our
laboratories, interference during operation may still occur in the device itself and
with other devices in its proximity.
Should such interference occur, try to eliminate it by adjusting the positions of
and the distances between the devices.
Before driving a car, please ensure that the electronic systems of the car are working properly.
Connection
When connecting your appliance be sure to correctly observe the following instructions:
Power supply through Car Adapter
• The car adapter should only be connected to the lighter socket of a car
(car battery = DC 12V , truck battery = DC 24V !). If you are in any doubt
about the power source in your car, contact your car manufacturer.
Cabling
• Arrange cables so that no-one can tread on them or trip over them.
• Do not place any items on the cable.

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
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 flashes 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. The navigation system
is fully charged if the charging display lights green.
• 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
continuous operation. However, the mains adapter (optional) 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.

1. Plug the jack (n) of the connection cable into the corresponding receptor at the
bottom of your navigation system.
2. Insert the power adapter (o) into the cigarette lighter socket and ensure, that it will
not lose contact while driving. This could cause a malfunction.
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 (optional). 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.

Attention!
Always leave the main switch in the ON position, unless you want to carry
out a new reinstallation. If the main switch is in the OFF position, all data
will be deleted in the temporary memory.
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.
