II. Turning on/off the Device
1. Press the on/off button on the left side of the device for
approx. 4 seconds, until the operating device briefly shines
orange, when you switch the device on for the first time.
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. Follow the onscreen instructions.
Note: Brief pressure on the on/off button will be
i
enough to switch the device on or off, provided that
your navigation system is connected to an external
source of electricity or is running in battery operation.
The device will have to be switched on again by long
pressure on the on/off button, in the case of only a
short interruption to the electricity supply. No data will
be lost during this because of the storage of data in the
internal memory. The starting process will only last
slightly longer
.
Note: Your device will be delivered in a status in which
i
it will not switch off independently.
You can adjust the period of operation to suit your
needs using the Settings button on the main screen of
your device
.
Your navigation system will use a low amount of electricity and
the batteries will be discharged, even when it has been turned off.
It is possible for the battery to loose so much energy that an initial installation will be necessary once again, if you do not use the
navigation system for a longer period.

III. Installing the Navigation Software
The final installation of the navigation software will take place
automatically from the internal memory, during the initial setting
up, if your device has already been equipped with the basic data
of the navigation software at the factory. Follow the instructions
on the screen.
Alternative installation of the navigation software from a
memory card
Please proceed as follows in that case:
1. Carefully take the memory card out of its packing. Take
care not to touch or dirty the contacts.
2. Push the memory card carefully into the SD-/MMC card bay
until it slightly lock in place.
The memory card must always be inserted in the device while the
navigation system is being used. It will be necessary to carry out
a Reset to restart the navigation system if the memory card has
been removed, only for a short time, while the system was being
used (see page 20).
The main screen, through which you will be able to make the
navigation settings, will appear after all the data has been copied
to your navigation system.
Please also read the chapter Navigation starting on page 21.

General Operating Instructions
Working with Memory Cards
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 printed side of the memory card
must face upwards. The card must lock easily.
Removing Memory Cards
Note: Only remove the memory card if the naviga-
i
tion 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.
i
Note: Memory cards are very fragile. Take care not
to dirty the contacts and not to force the card.

NGLISH
E
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.
Warning: Formatting the memory card irretrievably
!
wipes out all data.
• Likewise you cannot just copy files onto the memory card.
In some cases they must be converted by the Microsoft
ActiveSync
®
Sync
®
program das Programm Microsoft® Active-
konvertiert werden.
®
Data exchange via card reader
However, 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

Resetting the Navigation System (Reset)
You will have the possibility of resetting your navigation system if
it is no longer reacting or working properly.
This option restarts the navigation system, without reinstallation
being necessary. A reset is often used in order to reorganize the
memory. In doing so all programs that are running are interrupted and the working memory is reinitialized.
Choose this option if your navigation system is not responding or
working properly.
Perform the reset as follows:
Insert a pointy object (e.g. a paper clip, which has been bent
open) with slight pressure into the reset opening.

Safety Instructions for Navigation
The bundled product CD/DVD contains a comprehensive instruction
manual.
Tips for Navigation
• 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 instruc-
tion 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!
!
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 stop driving.
• In order to receive the GPS signal correctly, metal objects
may not hinder reception. Attach the navigation system
onto the inside of the windscreen or near the windscreen
with the sucker. 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 safe-
ty, even in the case of an accident, when installing it.
• Take care that the cable does not impede any safety com-
ponents.
• The display of your navigation system may show “light re-
flexions”. Please take care of not being “blinded” during
operation.
• Take care that the cable does not impede any safety com-
ponents.
• 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
battery.
• Check all safety equipment in your car after installation.
Additional Notes for Use on a Bicycle or a
motorcycle
• Pay attention during installation that the ability to steer is
not impaired.
• Do not cover any instruments during installation.
Aerial Orientation
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 can be necessary to
install an external GPS antenna (see page 37) under certain circumstances.

arbitrarily swap the cables between various units,
even if they appear to be precisely the same. The pin
assignments of the cables are likely to be different.
Once you have ascertained that the power supply is
not at fault and all connections are intact, switch on the
computer again.

®
2000 or XP.
Attention: You should not connect the navigation
system to your computer yet.
1. Insert the Support CD and wait until the program starts
automatically.
Note: The Auto Run function is probably deactivated
i
if it does not function. The Setup program on the CD
must be started, to start installation manually.
2. Choose the language, click then Install ActiveSync® and
follow the instructions on the screen.

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 hardware installation assistant recognizes now 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.
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
gram (with the F1 Button), 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: By limited line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, be-
i
tween 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 there line of sight is re-established
again. 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, for this reason. 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.
36
Note: Please note, that your appliance is preset to
i
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.

E
External GPS antenna
This second optional GPS antenna (only for Model A) 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 at the top of your device (see page 12).

TMC (Traffic Message Channel)
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 people driving
on the wrong side of the road for example, 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.
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.
38
NGLISH
E
Installing the External TMC Receiver
Please proceed as follows to connect your TMC receiver to your
navigation system.
1. Connect the mini-USB plug to the mini-USB connection of
your device.
2. Connect the projecting antenna to the TMC receiver and attach that antenna with the aid of the suckers, at the edge
of your windscreen, for example.
(similar picture)
3. Connect the TMC receiver to the car adapter cable after you
have attached the TMC receiver to your navigation system.
Your navigation system will now be able to receive traffic information through the TMC receiver and thus to avoid potential disruptions to traffic.

Additional Card Material
Your navigation system is already equipped with a digitalized map
of your country in the internal memory at the factory.
There is an already digitalized card for your country on the
the memory card. Depending on the configuration, additional
maps may be included on 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 19).
Depending on the amount of map data on the CDs/DVDs, memory
cards with capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1.024 MB or more may
be required.
You will 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 will
preferably 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 .map ending out of the Directory of
the region that you require 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. There must
be sufficient space on your 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.

optional additional feature. A special holder is needed to do this.
The installation is explained in the following.
Screws
Hexagon key
Clamp
Holding plate
(similar picture)
1. Release both the screws connecting the clamp to the holding plate with the hexagon key.
2. Remove the rubber ring and wind it
around the handlebars.
3. Position the clamp on your bicycle
handlebars, by pulling it across the
handlebars from below.
4. Put the holding plate back onto the clamp and retighten
both the screws.
5. Seat the holder for the navigation system on the holder
plate until it locks into place audibly. Please pay attention to
the fact that the holder must only be seated in one direc-
tion.
6. Now place the device on the holder. You must pay attention
to firm positioning.
i
Note: Your navigation system could also be equipped
with a different bicycle mounting, where the attachment of mountings can vary slightly, according to the
version.
