of between +32°F and +95°F (0 °C and 35 °C) and at a relative
humidity of between 10 % and 90 % (non-condensing).
• In the powered down state the appliance can be stored at between
-4°F and +140°F (-20 °C + to 60 °C).
• Store the appliance in a safe location, away from high
temperatures (e.g. when parking or from direct sunlight).
2.7. Electromagnetic Compatibility
• When connecting additional or other components the
“Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered
to. Please 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 to
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 optimised 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, please ensure that the electronic systems of the car
are working properly.

2.9. Cabling
• Arrange cables so that they do not cause unnecessary obstruction
or risk entanglement or snaring. E.g. ensure that the cables cannot
be trod on, or tripped over.
• Do not put any objects on the cable, because it could be damaged
if you do so.
• Do not use any force and pay attention to the correct orientation of
the plug when connecting the cables and plugs.

5. 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.
5.1. 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.
CAUTION!
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 continuous 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.
16 of 82
5.2. Power Supply
5.2.1. Car Adapter
Plug the jack of the connection cable into the corresponding receptor of your
navigation system.
Insert the power adapter into the cigar lighter socket ensuring, that it will not
lose contact while driving. This could cause a malfu.
5.2.2. 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 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.
PLEASE 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.
5.3. Switching on the Device
You will switch your navigation device on or off again completely by pressing
the On/Off key for a long time (> 3 sec.).
You can switch your navigation device into standby mode and then back on
again by briefly pressing (> 0.5 sec.) the On/Off switch.
The navigation system will start the first setting up automatically. Select the
language that you require first. The brand logo will appear and your device will
