Initial Set up

The following is a step by step guide to assist in the initial Set-up of the navigation system. Start by removing the protective plastic from the display.

I. Charging the Battery

The battery of your navigation system can be charged in the following ways:

 Using the supplied car adapter or

 using a suitable USB cable.

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 contin-

uous 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.

 The battery will be charged, even if the device is switched off completely.

Initial Set up

II. Power Supply

Car Adapter

Safety Instructions for Navigation

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!

Legal remark

The use of devices that warn for traffic monitoring systems (like „speed traps”) is prohibited in some countries, like Germany, Ireland and Switzerland. Please obtain information about the legal situation and apply the waning function only where allowed. We cannot be held liable for damages caused by the use of the warning function.

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.

Navigation

Notes for Use in a Vehicle

 Take care that the holder does not present any risk to safety, even in the case of an

accident, when installing it.

Appendix

6. Format Flash

Formats the internal ‘My Flash Disk’ memory. This formatting can be necessary in the case of a prolonged removal of errors. It will be necessary to recalibrate the screen after the formatting function has been carried out. All data will be deleted from the internal ‘My

Flash Disk’ memory irrevocably.

7. GPS Factory Reset

Performs a factory reset of the GPS receiver. When using the GPS function after having performed a factory reset, the GPS receiver must orientate itself again. This process may take a while.

8. DC AutoSuspend/Wakeup

You can select here when your navigation system should go into Standby mode automatically after the withdrawal of the external power supply. For example, this function is useful in the case of vehicles where the cigarette lighter also switches off when the ignition is switched off.

The AutoSuspend function will be activated several seconds after the discontinuation of the external power supply and the Standby display will appear for the time set (see Page 17).

The DC AutoSuspend function will be deactivated again if the power has been reconnected within the total period (in the case that the engine has been switched off for a short time, for example). Otherwise, the navigation system will go into the Standby mode after the expiry of the time set.

Set the required time by clicking on it and confirm your selection with OK.

Note

This function is deactivated and can be set individually in the status at delivery and after a hard reset (see Page 23)

Appendix

Exit

Leaving the CleanUp function and restarting the device (like reset).

Note

The deletion of the data must be confirmed before the action actually takes place. To do this, press on YES. There will be a corresponding report if the data to be deleted is no longer available. Please read the “Transferring Installation Files and Map Material to the Internal Memory“ chapter on Page 74, in order to recreate the files (installation files and map material) in the internal memory.

Appendix

Synchronisation with the PC

I. Installing Microsoft® ActiveSync®

In order to transfer data between your PC and your navigation system you need the Microsoft® ActiveSync® program.

The cost of the navigation system includes a license for this program which can be found on the CD/DVD.

Hinweis

You will not need the ActiveSync® communications software, if you are a user of the Windows Vista® / Windows® 7 operating system. The system files necessary for the simple data transfer are already integrated into your operating system.

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 CD/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 CD/DVD must be started, to start installation manually.

2. Choose the language, click then Install ActiveSync® and follow the instructions on the screen.

Note

When installing the GoPal Assistant, ActiveSync® will be installed automatically.

Synchronisation with the PC

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 following screen will appear after the navigation system has been connected:

Mass storage mode

Note

The ActivSync® mode will be loaded automatically after a few seconds, if no mode has been selected.

5. Select the desired mode:

ActiveSync mode

Mass Storage mode

You will be able to use your navigation device as a detachable device (e.g. a USB stick) in the Mass Storage mode. Two drives, the internal memory of the navigation system itself and the (optional) memory card, if it has been inserted into the device, will be connected to do this.

Note

No further entries can be made on the device at the same time if you are in this mode. Use the ‘Remove hardware safely’ function of your operating system to protect yourself against data loss. Now, remove the cable from your navigation system.

The Hardware Installation Assistant will now recognize a new device and will install a suitable driver. This can take several minutes.

Synchronisation with the PC

ActiveSync®-Mode

Repeat the attempt to connect, if it has failed the first time, if you have selected the ActiveSync® mode.

Follow the instructions on your screen. The program will now set up a partnership between your PC and navigation system.

Note

The navigation system must have been recognized when setting up the ActiveSync® mode, in order to be able to work with the GoPal Assistant.

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.

Program. Call up the Help of the Program (with the F1 But-

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.

Synchronisation with the PC

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 dependent 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.

GPS (Global Positioning System)

TMC (Traffic Message Channel) (optional)

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 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.

Note

The car adapter has got an integrated TMC antenna within the cable. TMC can only be received, if the car adapter is connected.

Premium TMC (optional)

If your navigation system features premium TMC, you will obtain more accurate TMC information provided by NAVTEQ Traffic. Your MEDION GoPal utilizes this information at no extra cost. Depending on your configuration this premium TMC information is made available for the corresponding countries.

Standard TMC information is provided by police, automobile clubs and traffic reports, while premium TMC-services mainly rely on automatic traffic monitoring systems.

Sensors in highway bridges, sensing loops embedded in road surfaces and a large number of cars equipped with „Floating Car Data“ technology quickly generate precise and accurate views of the traffic situation on highways as well as predictions.

Your navigation system will support both services and is set for the reception of both of them in the status at delivery.

Working with 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.

Working with Memory Cards

Data Exchange via Card Reader

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 CD/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 73). 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 CD/DVD, memory cards with capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1.024 MB or more may be required.

You can obtain additional memory 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 CD/DVD with the card material required.

2. Start your workstation and select your CD/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 CD/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.

Working with Memory Cards

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 64). 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 corresponding 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.
