selected map.

Installing the software", page 12.

2.2 Installing the hardware

Survey Mount the holder of the PocketPC before you use the navigation

system. You will also have to initialise, if purchased, th e TM C
receiver.

2.2.1 Mounting and connecting the PocketPC

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

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

Mounting the
holder...

Before you begin - 13 -

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.

to grant its hold.

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

Note: Take note of the caption on the swan-neck mount. The
arrow with the caption 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
suction cup adheres to the plate (or to the windscreen).

5. Put the PocketPC into the cradle. Make sure that it is held
safely!

This procedure may take about 20 minutes. When the GPS icon
becomes GPS ready earlier, it would be good to leave the GPS
receiver turned on for about 15 more minutes in order to grant
its correct operation.

The initialisation process is finished when the reception of more

than 3 satellites is assured after about 20 seconds.

- 14 - Installing the hardware

User's manual MEDION-Navigato r 5

Note: This initialisation process must be carried out only once.
The other times, the GPS receiver will be ready within about one
minute.

Note: When the PocketPC is connected to the power supply for
the first time, leave it connected for about 2 hours in order to
charge its battery.

Note: A new initialisation may become necessary when the GPS
receiver has not been in use. In this case, the initialisation
process would take about 10 minutes.

Caution: Disconnect the PocketPC from the power supply when
you are leaving the car parked for a longer period. Failure to do
so might result in a flat battery as the receiver consumes
electricity permanently.

For details on the operation of your GPS receiver, please refer to

Command buttons", page 23.

2.3 The basic principle of navigation

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 info rmation,
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.

Navigation with 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.

Traffic information
with TMC)

TMC Operating mode The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is based on a news

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) provides the navigation
system with the latest traffic information. A TMC receiver, which
is available as accessory, receives these signals broadcasted by
radio stations.

system. Traffic information is recorded continually this is done
automatically by sensors on the motorways and by the police.
This information is then forwarded to th e radio stations without
delay. It is digitally coded, differentiated according to routes and
driving directions and transmitted inaudibly.

The TMC-receiver extracts the TMC data from the RDS signal and
provides the navigation software with them. Current traffic
obstructions may then be displayed.

The reported obstructions may be considered for route
calculation. In case of obstructions on the computed itinerary,
they may be used for computing an alternative route, which
evades the obstruction.

MEDION-Navigator features dynamic navigation, which is well
adapted to the current traffic situation.

User's manual MEDION-Navigato r 5

2.4 Important safety information

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

information carefully before starting up your navigation system.

2.4.1 Safety information on navigation

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

Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents please do
not operate the navigation system while driving!

Caution: You must not look at the display except when it is
absolutely safe to do so!

Caution: The road layout and the traffic signs are absolutely
prior to the instructions of the navigation system.

Caution: You must not follow the instructions of MEDION­Navigator except when the circumstances and the road traffic

regulations allow doing so. MEDION-Navigator will guide you to
your destination even when you have left your planned itinerary.

Note: We recommend effecting route planning before beginning
the journey. If you are on the road and you want to establish a
new itinerary, please drive to the next parking site!

Note: If you have not understood the instructions or if you are
not sure about what to do next you may quickly refer to the map
or arrow view of your navigation system.

2.4.2 Safety information on the installation in the vehicle

Caution: Do not fix the holder within the deployment zone of

airbags.

Caution: When you install the holder, please check that it may
not constitute any safety risk, even in case of an accident.
