11
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.
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.
12
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.
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.
13
Care of the Display
Avoid scratching the display surface as this may be easily damaged. We
recommend using a display protection film (mylar) to prevent scratching of
the screen. Please contact your nearest dealer for this accessory.

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 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.
19
II. Power Supply
Car Adapter
► Plug the jack of the connection cable into the corresponding receptor
at the left side 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.
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.
If a so-called “Y-USB cable” is enclosed with your navigation device, please note
that it is generally sufficient when only the data plug on the USB cable is
connected to your PC or your notebook.
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.
NOTICE!
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.
20
III. 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
