I. Charging the Battery
The battery of your navigation system can be charged in the following ways:
• Using the supplied car adapter,
• using a suitable USB cable or
• by using a mains adapter (purchased as an optional extra)
Attention!
It may be necessary to initially charge the battery for a considerable period
of time prior to commencing and running through the initial installation,
this is dependent on the level of charge held at the time by the internal
battery.
Please observe the following notes relating to the battery:
• The charging status display LED will flash orange until the navigation system is
charged. If possible, do not interrupt the charging process until the
battery is fully charged. This may take a few hours. The charging status LED will
shine constant green if the battery has a high level of charge. Leave the device
charging for 20 further minutes, to ensure the battery is fully charged.
• The navigation system can be used 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.
• The external power supply can remain connected; this is recommended for con-
tinuous operation. However, the mains adapter (optional) must remain switched
on whenever it is connected to the navigation system.
• Even after a power source has been connected to the device it may take several
minutes until the device is once again ready to operate again, this occurs if the
charging state of the battery is exceptionally low. The battery will continue to be
charged if the power supply is connected and the device is switched off.
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 cigar lighter socket ensuring, 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 additional software or updates is
required for your PC to perform this function. Do not interrupt the charging process if
possible during the initial charge.
Note
The brightness will be adjusted downwards, if necessary, if a USB connection is being set up when the device is switched on.
It is recommended to set the device to the stand-by mode, in order to
shorten the charging time by USB.
You will switch your navigation device on or off again completely by pressing the
On/Off key for a long time (> 3 sec.).

General Instructions
•Do not adjust or configure the navigation system whilst driving, this is to protect
yourself and others from accidents!
•In the event that you do not understand the voice instruction or if you are in any
doubt about what to do at the next intersection, then the map or arrow displayed
on the screen will provide you with a quick orientation. Only look at the display
when it is safe to do so and driving conditions allow!
Attention!
The road layout and driving rules take precedence over the instructions of
the navigation system. Only follow the instructions when circumstances
and driving rules permit it! The navigation system will guide you to your
destination even when you have to deviate from your planned route.
•The direction statements of the navigation system given do not release the driver
of the vehicle from his or her duty of care or personal responsibility.
•Plan routes before you leave. If you want to plan a new route whilst on the road
pull over and stop driving.
•In order to receive the GPS signal correctly, keep away from metal objects as they
may hinder reception. Attach the navigation system onto the inside of the windscreen or near the windscreen with the suction cup. Try out different positions in
your vehicle in order to find the best reception.
The aerial must have unrestricted access to the sky to receive GPS satellite signals. Place the
aerial as horizontally as possible for this reason. Try out aerial and installation possibilities
in the vehicle if the reception is inadequate.
I. Mounting the Car Holder
Attention!
Only fix the holder for the navigation system to the windscreen, if it does
not impede the view.

You will not need the ActiveSync® communications software, if you are a
user of the Windows Vista® operating system. The system files necessary
for the simple data transfer are already integrated into your Vista® operating system.
Procedure for Vista users:
Please connect your device to your PC with the help of the USB synchronization cable. The necessary drivers will be installed automatically, after the
new device has been found. Your new device will be listed under the ‘Portable Devices’ point in the Windows Explorer overview, following a successful installation.
Attention!
Important files can be overwritten or changed during the installation of
software. You should create a hard disk backup, in order to be able to have
access to the original files in the case of possible problems following the
installation.
You must have administrator rights to install the software under Windows® 2000 or XP.
Important
You should not connect the navigation system to your computer yet.
1. Insert the DVD and wait until the program starts automatically.
Note
If it does not function, the Auto Run function is probably deactivated. The
Setup program on the DVD must be started, to start installation manually.
2. Choose the language, click then InstallActiveSync® and follow the instructions
When installing the GoPal Assistant, ActiveSync® will be installed automatically.
II. Connecting with the PC
1. Press the On/Off button to start your navigation system.
2. Connect the USB cable to your navigation system.
3. Push the USB connector into a free USB port on your computer.
4. The hardware installation assistant will recognise a new appliance and install a suit-
able driver which can take some minutes. Repeat the connection search if it fails the
first time.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen. The program will now set up a partnership
between your PC and the device.
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 driver installation
will be necessary for this. Do not interrupt the charging process if possible during the
initial charge.
III. Working with Microsoft® ActiveSync®
ActiveSync® will be started automatically if you connect your navigation system to the PC.
The program will check whether the device is one with which a partnership has been entered. If this is the case, the changes that have taken place on the PC and on the navigation
system since the last synchronisation will be compared and adjusted to each other. You
will be able to define exactly which data will have priority during the synchronisation in
the settings of the ActiveSync
ton), in order to become familiar with the effects of the respective settings. A restricted
Guest Access, with which you will be able to exchange data, for example, will become
active automatically if the navigation system has not been recognised as a partner. If this is
the case, although the process concerns the registered partner device, separate your navigation system from the PC and switch it off and on again. Now connect your navigation
system to the PC, to restart the recognition process. Repeat the process and, restart your
PC in addition, if your device continues to be recognised as a guest.
Note
Make sure that you always connect your navigation system to your PC
with the same USB connection, otherwise your PC will allocate an
additional ID and reinstall the device.

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
When the line of sight is interrupted (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 reestablished. Moving slowly (e.g. slow walking) also limits the accuracy of
the navigation.
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. Also terminate the navigation software if it is not needed or satellite reception is not possible for a
longer period. You can also switch the device off by means of the On/Off switch if you
experience a short interruption in your journey, pressing the same switch again will reactivate a restart. The GPS receiver will also be reactivated at the same time, if the navigation
software is still active. There may be a delay for the position to be updated again, this is
dependant on 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.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a digital radio data service that functions in a
similar way to RDS and is used to transmit disruptions to traffic to a suitable reception
device.
The traffic information is continuously transmitted across FM.
The user is less dependent on the half-hourly broadcast traffic information, because the
signal is continuously transmitted. Apart from this, important information, as in the case of
an accident in the road ahead, can be passed on immediately.
The transmission is planned for the whole of Europe and is already offered by radio transmitters in many countries. The precision of the TMC messages can deviate greatly according to the country. At time of printing a TMC service is not available in Ireland.
The evaluation of TMC messages is not supported by every type of navigation software.
Enquire whether your system supports TMC before the possible purchase of a TMC receiver.
A TMC receiver is integrated into your navigation system, to receive traffic information.
However, reception will only be guaranteed if the TMC angled aerial supplied with the
device has been connected.
Plug the jack plug of the TMC angled aerial into the earphone connection of your
navigation system.
Attach the aerial, on the edge of your windscreen, for example, with the help of the sucker.
Place the aerial so that a distance of approx. 10 cm from the metal frame of the screen is
maintained.
TMC reception can be improved by different aerial positioning, according to the vehicle.
(similar pictures)
Your navigation system will now be able to receive traffic information through the TMC
receiver and thus direct you away from disruptions to traffic.
Your navigation system supports MMC and SD memory cards.
Inserting Memory Cards
1. Carefully take the optional memory card out of its packing (if included). Take care
not to touch or dirty the contacts.
2. Insert the memory card carefully into the card bay with contacts pointing forward.
The card must lock easily.
Removing Memory Cards
Note
Only remove the memory card if the navigation software has been closed
and the device has been switched off by means of the On/Off button beforehand. Otherwise you will risk a 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 packaging or in another safe location.
Note
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 recognise it and will ask you to format it
again.
Attention!
Formatting the memory card irretrievably wipes out all data.
If you wish to copy large quantities of data (MP3 files, 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 into your computer
and copy the data directly to the card.
Because of the direct access you can achieve a much higher transfer rate compared to
using ActiveSync®.
Additional Card Material
Your navigation system is already equipped with digitalised map material in the internal
memory and/or memory card at the factory. Depending on the configuration, additional
maps may be included on your navigation DVD. You will be able to transfer these cards to
a memory card immediately. It is recommended that you use an external card reader (see
also page 51). The GoPal Assistant supplied with the device enables a simple and individual compilation of the map material to be transferred.
Depending on the amount of map data on the navigation DVD, memory cards with capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1.024 MB or more may be required.
You can obtain additional memory cards (MMC or SD cards) in specialist stores.
Transfer of card material to a memory card
The transfer of additional card material to a memory card can take place through Explorer
on your PC via the following steps:
1. Insert the DVD with the card material required.
2. Start your workstation and select your DVD Drive.
3. Copy the file with the .psf ending out of the Directory of the region that you re-
quire to the MapRegions Directory on your memory card, from the DVD.
You can transfer several files with map material to your memory card, depending on the
capacity of the memory card.
If you have copied digitized maps of several countries or country groups onto your memory card, you will be required to select the desired map in the navigation
application of your device.
Alternate method of installing Navigation Software (using a
Memory Card)
The software for your navigation system can be installed directly from a memory card.
The pre-installed software may have to be uninstalled beforehand (see special Clean Up
function, Page 42).
You will be requested to install the navigation software during the initial adjustment.
Please proceed as follows:
1. Remove the memory card from the packaging carefully. Ensure the contacts are not
touched or soiled.
2. Push the memory card into the SD-/MMC slot until it engages.
3. Click on OK, in order to install the application.
The main screen, through which you will now be able to carry out the navigation settings,
will appear after all data has been copied to your navigation system.
Transferring Installation Files and Map Material to the Internal
Memory
Note
The navigation system must be connected to a computer by means of
ActiveSync® for the transfer of the data.
Your device has an internal, permanent memory, which is located in the \My Flash Disk
directory.
You will be able to make this directory, and others, visible with ActiveSync®, by means of
the Search option. Directories and files can be manipulated as in Windows Explorer.
The required directory must have been stored, in order to make the installation files and
the map material for the device available.
Deposit the INSTALL directory for the installation files at (\My Flash Disk\INSTALL). Deposit the map material in the MapRegions directory (\My Flash Disk\MapRegions). Please
pay attention to the modes of lettering given above when naming the directories.
Pay attention to the fact that sufficient drive capacity must be available, if you have stored
additional data on your navigation device. Remove files not needed if sufficient drive capacity is not available.
