I. Charging the Battery
You have the following possibilities to charge the battery of your navigation system:
• by means of the car adapter,
• by means of the USB cable
Attention!
It can be necessary to recharge the battery for some time initially before it
is possible to run through the initial installation, according to the state of
charging of the battery installed.
Please pay attention to the following notes when handling the battery:
• The charging status display flashes orange until the navigation system is charged.
If possible, do not interrupt the charging process before the
battery is fully charged. This may take a few hours. The navigation system
is fully charged if the charging display lights green.
•You can use the navigation system 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.
•You can leave the external power supply connected, and this is very handy for
continuous operation. However, the mains adapter (optional) also requires power
even when it is not charging up the battery of the navigation system.
•It can take several minutes until the device is ready to operate again, following the
connection of the external power supply, if the charging state of the battery is
very low.
• The battery can be charged while the device is switched off completely.
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 cigarette lighter socket and ensure, 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 type of software or drivers installation
will be necessary for this. Do not interrupt the charging process if possible during the
initial bringing into operation.
Always leave the main switch in the ON position, unless you want to carry
out a new reinstallation. If the main switch is in the OFF position, all data
will be deleted in the temporary memory.
The Navigation System will start the initial installation automatically. The brand logo will
appear and your device will display the application screen after a few seconds.
Brief pressure on the on/off button will be enough to switch the de-
vice on or off, provided that your navigation system is connected to an
external source of electricity or is running in battery operation (standby

General Instructions
•Do not manipulate the navigation system while driving 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 display
will provide you with a quick orientation. Only look at the display when you are in
a safe driving situation!
Legal remark
The use of devices that warn for traffic monitoring systems (like „speed
traps”) is prohibited in some countries, like Austria, 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.
The aerial must have unrestricted access to the sky to receive GPS satellite signals. Orient
the aerial as horizontally as possible for this reason. Try out aerial and installation possibilities in the vehicle in the case of inadequate reception. It may be necessary to install an
external GPS antenna (see page 48) under certain circumstances.
I. Mounting the Car Holder
Attention!
Only fix the holder for the navigation system to the windscreen, if it does
not impede the view. Should this not be possible, then mount the holder
with the enclosed suction plate in any way that will allow peril-free and
safe operation.

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 (optional) to your navigation system.
3. Push the USB connector into a free USB port on your computer.
4. The hardware installation assistant will recognize a new appliance and installs a
suitable driver which can take some minutes. Repeat the die 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 drivers installation
will be necessary for this. Do not interrupt the charging process if possible during the
initial bringing into operation.
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 (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 re-established.
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. However, you can also switch the device off by means of the On/Off
switch in the case of a shorter interruption to your journey. Pressing the same switch again
will activate a restart. The GPS receiver will also be reactivated at the same time, if navigation software is still active. Here, it can take a short time for the position to be updated
again, according to 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.
External GPS antenna
This second optional GPS antenna makes it possible to receive the signals of satellites better (e. g. in the case of vehicles with a metallized windscreen).
1. The antenna should be pointing upwards.
2. Push the plug of the external GPS antenna into the opening provided for it.
Traffic Message Channel (TMC) ist ein digitaler Radio-Datendienst, der ähnlich wie RDS
funktioniert und zur Übertragung von Verkehrsstörungen an ein geeignetes Empfangsgerät verwendet wird.
Die Verkehrsinformationen werden ständig über FM übertragen.
Da das Signal ständig übertragen wird, ist der Benutzer weniger von den nur halbstünd-
lich ausgestrahlten Verkehrshinweisen abhängig. Außerdem können wichtige Informationen, wie z.B. bei Geisterfahrern sofort weitergegeben werden.
Die Ausstrahlung ist für ganz Europa geplant und wird bereits in vielen Ländern von Radiosendern angeboten. Die Präzision der TMC Meldungen kann je nach Land stark
schwanken.
TMCPro
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.
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 earphones connection of your
navigation system.
Attach the aerial, on the edge or 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 to avoid potential 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 packing 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 recognize 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 in this 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 digitalized map material in the internal
memory and/or memory card at the factory. Depending on the configuration, additional
maps may be included on your your navigation CDs/DVDs. You will be able to transfer
these cards to a memory card immediately. Here, it is recommended to use an external
card reader (see also page 52). 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 CDs/DVDs, 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 the Explorer of your PCs. Proceed as follows:
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.
Alternative Installation of the Navigation Software from a
Memory Card
The software for your navigation system can also be installed directly from a memory card.
The pre-installed software may have to be uninstalled beforehand (see special CleanUp
function, Page 43).
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. Pay attention that the con-
tacts 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.
