MEDION-Navigator 4.4

1.1 Important safety information

Note In your own interest, read the following notices and safety

information carefully before starting up your navigation system.

1.1.1 Safety information on navigation

Use of MEDION-Navigator is executed at your our risk.

Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents, do not
program the navigation system while driving. Enter or select your
destination and activate the navigation system before you begin
to drive!

Caution: Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe to
do so! Safe driving is the first priority!

Caution: The rules of the road and traffic signs must be obeyed
prior to following instructions from the navigation system.

Caution: Do not follow the instructions of MEDION-Navigator
unless circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow doing
so. MEDION-Navigator will guide you to your destination even
when you have gone off course from your route.

not sure about what to do next, use caution and view the display
or arrow view of your navigation system. Do this in safe
circumstances only.

1.1.2 Safety information on handling MEDION-Navigator

Caution: As it is not waterproof, do not expose your GPS

receiver to water! For example, protect it from rain, snow or hail
when you are on your way by bike or on foot.

Caution: MEDION-Navigator should be disconnected from
power supply while your car is parking. As its internal GPS
receiver spends energy permanently you might risk discharging
the car battery.

Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning
MEDION-Navigator. A damp, lint-free cloth is sufficient!

Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the
cable!

1.1.3 Safety information on the installation in the vehicle

MEDION-Navigator 4.4

2.1 Operating mode of your navigation system

MEDION-Navigator The time of complicated and frustrating inquiries on the right way

in folded maps is over. From now on MEDION-Navigator, your
navigation system, will guide you, based on satellite information,
quickly and safely to your destination.

GPS-based
navigation

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has originally been
developed in the 70ies, as a weapon guidance system for the
American forces.

The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the
earth and which are permanently emitting signals. The GPS
receiver receives these signals and calculates, based on the
runtime of the signals, his distance from the respective satellites.
This information serves for calculation your current geographic
position.

The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine
the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four
satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination
has an accuracy of about 3 yards.

Operating mode of
the GPS

The delivered maps contain the geographic coordinates of the
points of interest, streets and towns they represent. Thus the
navigation system can calculate a route from a given start point
to a given destination point.

In case your navigation system receives the signals of at least
three satellites it may determine your current position and
represent it on the map. This position may then serve as start
point for navigation purposes. As the determination and
representation of your position is carried out once a second, you
may watch your movements on the map.

Note: Depending on the battery charging state, it may happen
that you have to charge the device for a while before the
installation may be executed.

2.2.3 Restoring the files of the memory card

Survey In case you have lost or damaged the provided memory card,

you will find all files, which are necessary for restore on your
MEDION-Navigator-CD-ROM 1.

You will need a PC for restoring the files. You may transmit the
files via an ActiveSync connection or via a card reader.

Restore the files of
the memory card…

1. Insert the MEDION-Navigator-CD-ROM 1 into your CD-ROM
drive.

2. Open your language folder, e.g. English on the CD-ROM 1.

3. Open the Installation subfolder of the language folder and
copy all of its files to a memory card.

4. Insert the map-CD (CD-ROM2, CD-ROM3 or CD-ROM4) into
your CD drive, which contains the map you want to use for
navigation.

5. Open the Maps folder and copy the required map (the
respective map folder with all its subfolders) to the memory
card.

6. Proceed as described in "Installation of the navigation
system", page 15.

Note: In case you want to use another language version of
MEDION-Navigator, select the respective language folder in
step 2.

In case you just want to use another map on your navigation
device, execute only steps 5 and 6. Make sure that the available
storage capacity on your memory card is sufficient for the
selected map.

2.2.4 Installation in the vehicle

Caution: The mounted holder must not impede the driver’s

attention on the traffic. If this is not possible, mount the holder
somewhere else so that safe driving is granted. In case this is not
possible, use the provided adhesion plate to mount the holder
somewhere else so that safe driving is granted.

Note: You need not execute steps 1 and 2 if you want to mount
the holder on your windscreen.

Mounting the
holder...

3. Attach the cradle of the device to the swan-neck mount.

1. Remove the lamination sheet from the adhesion plate.

2. Stick the adhesion plate at a convenient place on the
dashboard. Make sure that the surface of the dashboard is
clean and dry and press the plate forcefully on its place.

Note: Do not charge the plate for the first 24 hours in order
to grant its hold.

Note: Take note of the inscription on the swan-neck mount.
The arrow with the inscription close must show in snap-on
direction. The connection must snap on audibly.

4. Place the suction cup on the adhesion plate (or directly on the
windscreen) and press the lever on the suction cup down. The
