REP. IRELAND HELPLINE 1-800-992508

Operating Environment

Failure to follow these instructions may lead to damage to your appliance. The guarantee will be excluded in such cases.

Keep your navigation System and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight, especially in the car.

Make sure you protect your appliance from getting wet, e.g. from rain and hail, at all times. Please pay attention that moisture can even build up in a protective pouch because of condensation.

Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking, such as can arise, for example, in the case of transverse field intrusions.

Install the device as vertically as possible to prevent the device from releasing itself from its holder.

Electromagnetic Compatibility

When connecting additional or other components the “Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered to. Please also note that only screened cable (maximum 10ft) should be used with this appliance.

For optimal performance, maintain a distance of at least 10 ft. from sources of 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.

To avoid damage during transport, the PC is stored in a packaging. Packaging is produced mostly from materials which can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner and be professionally recycled.

Transport

If you wish to transport the appliance follow the instructions below:

Following transport of the appliance wait until the unit has acclimatized before using it.

In the case of wide fluctuations in temperature or humidity condensation or moisture may form inside the appliance and this can cause an electrical short-circuit.

In order to protect the appliance from dirt, knocks and scratching, use either the protective case.

Before travelling ensure that you are aware of the power and communications provision at your destination. Before travelling obtain any power or communications adapters that may be needed.

When shipping your appliance use only the original packaging and advise the carrier accordingly.

When passing through the hand luggage control at airports, it is recommended that you pass the appliance and all magnetic storage media (external hard drives) through the X-ray system (the machine on which you place your bags).

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:
by means of the USB cable
by means of the car adapter,
You have the following possibilities to charge the battery of your navigation system:
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

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.

(similar picture)

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.

- 12 -

UK/ N. IRELAND HELPLINE 0871 37 61 020 REP. IRELAND HELPLINE 1-800-992508

III. Switching on the Device

Switch the main switch to ON.

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.
