When connecting additional or other components the “Electromagnetic Compati-
bility 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.
Connection
When connecting your appliance it is important to 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, please contact your car manufacturer.
Cabling
Arrange cables so that they do not cause unnecessary obstruction or risk entangle-
ment 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.

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 conti-
nuous 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 mi-
nutes 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.

To switch your navigation system off completely:
1. Press and hold the On/Off key (> 3 sec.), to switch off the device.
2. Press and hold the On/Off key (> 3 sec.), to switch the device on again.
A reinstallation will not be necessary after a hard reset if your device has already been equipped with the basic data of the navigation software in the permanent memory.

Safety Instructions for Navigation
The bundled product CD/DVD contains a comprehensive instruction manual.
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.

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.
Take care that the cable does not impede any safety components. The display of your navigation system may show “light reflections”. Please take
care of not being “blinded” during operation.
Do not mount the components within the operating range of any airbags. Check the secure adherence of the suction cup at regular intervals. The power plug will consume power, even if no device is connected. Remove it
when not in use to avoid draining the car battery.
Check all safety equipment in your car after installation.
Note
Do not leave your navigation software in the vehicle when you leave it unattended. You should also uninstall the holder for security reasons.
28
Navigation
Aerial Orientation
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.

1. Connect the car adapter (see page 13) and, if necessary, the TMC aerial to your navigation system and insert the memory card.
2. Push the device straight from above to below in the holder as shown in image .
Note
The device must be pushed straight into the holder under all circum­stances. Avoid any tilting. Do not push the device into the holder with force.
3. You will see the insertion of the device in images and .
4. Place the holder on the fixing catches of the car holder.
5. Now, push the unit to the bottom until it engages audibly.
6. Now you will be able to place the complete unit on the cleaned windscreen or the suction plate.

III. Connecting the Car Adapter
(similar picture)
1. Plug the jack () of the connection cable into the corresponding receptor at the
rear of the active holder.
2. Insert the power adapter () into the cigar lighter socket ensuring, that it will
not lose contact while driving. This could cause a malfunction.
Note
Remove the power adapter from the cigarette lighter socket when end­ing a trip or when parking the car for a extended period of time. Other­wise the car battery could be drained. In this case use the power switch to turn off the navigation system.

IV. Starting the Navigation Software
Note
Your memory card will always have to be inserted into the device during the use of the navigation system, if the card contains (additional) mapping material.
It will be necessary to carry out a reset to restart the navigation system if the memory card has been removed while the system was being used (see page 25). According to the navigation system the reset is carried out automatically.
1. Switch on your navigation system.
2. The Navigation software will start automatically or after tapping on the naviga-
tion control button on the main screen, according to the version.
3. Tap on Navigation on the screen for entering the destination. Enter the destina-
tion address. Confirm your entry by clicking the gation. After a short time, if the satellite reception is adequate you will receive augmented language statements.
Further information regarding the navigation software can be found in the comprehen- sive manual on your navigation CD/DVD. This is a pdf-file you can read and print with Acrobat Reader.
Note
The GPS-receiver will require some minutes for initialisation when de­ployed for the first time. Even when GPS signal reception is indicated the navigation could be imprecise. In all future instances it will take about 30­60 seconds until a correct GPS-signal is available, sufficient “sight” of the satellite is a prerequisite.

Special CleanUp Function
The CleanUp function serves the targeted deletion of data, without using a PC.
Note
Please use this function very carefully, because it is possible for data to be deleted that can only be entered again manually afterwards.
The CleanUp function is activated when the ‘o’ is pressed in the Gopal lettering of the Main Menu, immediately after the start tone following a reset.
The CleanUp function offers different options:
1. Remove Installation Only
Removes the software installed from the ‘My Flash Disk’ memory [= part of the permanent memory in which the executable parts of the navigation software will be located following the initial alignment (\My Flash Disk\Navigation)].
2. Remove MAP Only
Removes the digital maps from the ‘My Flash Disk’ memory (\My Flash Disk\MapRegions).
3. Remove Preload Only
Removes the data needed for the installation of the navigation software from the perma­nent memory (\My Flash Disk\Install).
4. Remove All
Deletes the whole contents of the ‘My Flash Disk’ memory. It will not be necessary to recalibrate the screen after this function has been carried out.
5. Factoryreset
Sets the device back to the delivery status in the case of an intact main installation.
Appendix
69
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.

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.
72
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
73
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.

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)
75
Dead Reckoning (gyroscope)
The current position can be established momentarily, for driving through a tunnel, for example, with the aid of this function, even without a valid GPS signal.
The navigation system will receive the necessary information during the absence of the GPS signal for a short time, to continue to establish the position through an installed mag­netic field and acceleration sensor.
The methods for establishing the position by means of the sensor described represents merely one device, so that deviations can arise. Sufficient GPS reception must be available before the transfer to establishment of the position by means of dead reckoning because of the system.
Dead reckoning is not a complete replacement for GPS-supported navigation.
76
Dead Reckoning (gyroscope)
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 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.
In Austria, the TMC traffic messages are made available by the TMCplus service. TMCplus stands for an even faster and more efficient passing on of traffic messages. It is a co­operation between ASFINAG and the Hitradio Ö3 radio broadcaster.
PayTMC / Trafficmaster (optional)
TMCpro (a service of T-Systems Traffic GmbH) mainly uses an automatic system to record the traffic situation, while the normal TMC relies on information from the police, ADAC and reports of traffic jams. Sensors on autobahn bridges, strips of sensors set into the car­riageway and a large number of vehicles equipped with ‘Floating Car Data’ technology quickly supply a precise and more current image of the traffic situation on German auto­bahns, including predictions of possibilities.
Your navigation system will support both services and is set for the reception of both of them in the status at delivery.
Trafficmaster (optional)
The Trafficmaster is a premium TMC service for the UK. It is supported by a network of 7,500 sensors constantly monitoring traffic flow over 8,000 miles of motorways and A­roads.
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) (optional)
77
Connecting the TMC Dipole Aerial (optional)
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.
A TMC aerial is integrated into your active holder, so that operation should be guaranteed in conurbations and strong transmission regions, even without an additional projecting aerial. This will depend on the area and the vehicle.
The connection of an external projecting aerial is recommended to improve reception, if no reception or only permanently insufficient reception is possible through the integrated aerial.
1. Push the jack connector of the TMC aerial into the TMC connection of the active holder.
2. Attach the aerial, on the edge or your windscreen, for example, with the help of the sucker.
3. Place the aerial so that a distance of approx. 10 cm from the metal frame of the screen is maintained.
(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.
78
TMC (Traffic Message Channel) (optional)
The Steering Wheel Remote (optional)
Operation with the steering wheel remote can only be used in connection with the op­tional holding casing with expansion plugs.
Safety Instructions
Always pay attention to the road traffic and never make settings while driving. Installation within the steering wheel, in order not to impair driving. Pay attention to the safety information related to your navigation system.
Batteries and Proper Treatment
KEEP CHILDREN AWAY from batteries. If by any chance, the batteries are swallowed,
consult a doctor immediately.
DO NOT CHARGE batteries (except rechargeable batteries). DO NOT FORCIBLY DISCHARGE batteries. DO NOT SHORT-CIRCUIT batteries. DO NOT HEAT or DISPOSE OFF IN FIRE. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE or DEFORM batteries. Your hands and fingers may be in-
jured, or the liquid of the battery may get into your eyes or adhere to your skin. If this happens, rinse with a large quantity of water immediately and consult a doctor.
DO NOT expose batteries to strong impact by dropping or throwing the batteries. DO NOT reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals to avoid short-circuit. Do NOT MIX used and new or different types of batteries together.
Your equipment may not operate properly. In addition, the battery exhausted first may be excessively drained (over-discharged).
REMOVE PROMPTLY the used batteries from the device. REPLACE ALL BATTERIES with new batteries of the same type at the same time. INSULATE THE TERMINAL parts with tape or the like at the storage or disposal of the
batteries.
DO NOT throw rundown batteries in the domestic refuses! Respect the environ-
ment and throw them in the specific containers for separate collection. If necessary, turn to your reseller or to our service assistance. Thank you!

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
83
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 84). 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.
84
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 69). 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 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.
