2.4. Data Security

CAUTION!

Every time you update your data make back-up copies on an external storage medium. The supplier does not assume liability for data loss or damage to data storage units, and no

claims will be accepted for damages resulting from the loss of data or consequential losses.

2.5. Operating Environment

Failure to follow these instructions may lead to your appliance being damaged. In cases where products are damaged as a result of misuse or neglect the associated guarantee will be considered void.

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

•Make sure you prevent your appliance from getting wet, e.g. from rain and hail, at all times. Please note that moisture can even build up inside a protective pouch as a result of condensation.

•Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking.

•Please note the device should be installed vertically, this will ensure that the device remains secure within its holder.

8 of 82

2.6. Ambient Temperature

•The appliance will operate effectively at an ambient temperature 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.

2.8. Connection

When connecting your appliance it is important to observe the following instructions:

2.8.1. 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, please contact your car manufacturer.

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.

•Do not permit any great forces to be exerted on the plug connections, from the side, for example. This will lead to damage in and to your device if you do so.

•Avoid short circuiting and broken cable by not crushing or bending it sharply.

2.10. Battery Operation

Your appliance is powered by an integrated battery. In order to prolong the life and efficiency of your battery and ensure safe operation, follow the instructions below:

•Batteries cannot withstand excessive heat. Take care to avoid overheating of appliance and the integrated battery. Failure to comply with this instruction may lead to damage to or, even explosion of the battery.

•Only use the car adapter to charge the battery.

•The batteries are special category waste. When disposing of the appliance ensure that this is done correctly. Contact Customer Service for more details.

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 display the entry screen after a few seconds.
