Initial Set-up

The following guides you step by step through the initial Set-up of the navigation
system.

Firstly, remove the foil for protecting the device during transportation from the
display.

I. Charging the battery

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 will shine red 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 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, follow-
ing the connection of the external power supply, if the charging state of the
battery is very low.

• The battery will even be charged while the device is switched off completely.

Note

Brief pressure on the on/off button will be 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
(standby mode).

You can adjust the automatic switching off to your requirements by

18

English

Push the main switch on the base of the device to OFF if you intend
to switch it off completely.
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.

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.

IV. 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.

An optional memory card will always have to be inserted in the device during
the use of the navigation system, if it contains digitalized map material.

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 23).

Please also read the chapter Navigation starting on page 24.

Initial Set-up

English

Working with Memory Cards

Your navigation system supports mini 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. 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.

General Operating Instructions

21

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.

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

®

English

Resetting the Navigation System

Soft Reset

Choose this option if your navigation system is not responding or working prop­erly.

This option restarts the navigation system, without reinstallation being necessary. A
soft-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.

Perform the soft-reset as follows:
Press the Play/Pause Button down and operate the On/Off Button at the same time.

Hard Reset

Warning

A hard reset will delete all the data in the temporary memory.

It is not necessary to install the software on your synchronisation computer again,
however.

Perform the hard-reset as follows:
Press the tip of the stylus into the soft-reset switch opening or insert a thin blunt

object (e.g. a paper clip, which has been bent open) with slight pressure into the
reset opening.

You will be able to carry out a hard reset as follows as an alternative:

1. Remove the external power source.

2. Push the On/Off switch of the device on the back of the device first to the
OFF position initially and back to ON after 2 seconds.

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 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 it is safe to do so!

Legal remark

The use of devices that warn for traffic monitoring systems (like
„speed traps”) is prohibited in some countries e.g. in Austria, Ger­many, Irland and in 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 stop driving.

• In order to receive the GPS signal correctly, metal objects may not hinder re-
ception. 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.

24

English

Notes for Use in a Vehicle

• Take care that the holder does not present any risk to safety, even in the case
of an accident, when installing it.

• The display of your navigation system may show “light reflections”. Please
take care of not being “blinded” during operation.

• Take care that the cable does not impede any safety components.

• 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. Re-

move it when not in use to avoid draining the car battery.

• Check all safety equipment in your car after installation.

Note

Do not leave your navigation unit in the vehicle when you leave it.
You should also uninstall the holder for security reasons.

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.

Navigation

25

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 may be nec­essary to install an external GPS antenna (see page 64) 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

V. Starting the Navigation Software

Note

Your memory card will always have to be inserted into the device
during the use of the navigation system, if the card contains (addi­tional) mapping material.

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 23). This Reset will take
place automatically, according to the navigation system.

1. Switch on your navigation system.

2. The Navigation software will start automatically or after tapping on the
navigation control button on the main screen, according to the version.

3. Tap on Navigation on the screen for entering the destination and enter the
address of your navigation destination. Confirm your entry by clicking the 9

symbol to start the navigation.

You will receive the route information on the screen, augmented by language
statements, after a short time, if the satellite reception is adequate.

Further information regarding the navigation software can be found in the com-
prehensive manual on your navigation CD(s)/DVD(s). This is a pdf-file you
can read and print with the any Acrobat Reader.

Note

The GPS-receiver will require some minutes for initialization when
deployed for the first time. Even when GPS signal reception is indi­cated the navigation could be imprecise. In all future instances it will
take about 30-60 seconds until a correct GPS-signal is available, suffi­cient “sight” of the satellite is a prerequisite.

Handsfree facility by means of Bluetooth

The Bluetooth technology serves to bridge short distances wirelessly. Bluetooth
devices transmit data wirelessly, so that other devices that also support this tech­nology can communicate with each other without cables.

Both devices will have to be adjusted to each other (pairing), before you will be
able to use your navigation system as handsfree equipment with your Bluetooth
mobile phone.

Note

Please read how you switch on the Bluetooth function in the Operat­ing Instructions of your mobile phone.

Synchronisation with the PC

I. Installing Microsoft® ActiveSync®

In order to transfer your data between your PC and your navigation system you
need the Microsoft® ActiveSync® program. The cost of the navigation system in­cludes a license for this program which can be found on the Support CD.

Note

You will not need the ActiveSync® communications software, if you
are a user of the Windows Vista™ operating system. The system files
necessary for the simple data transfer are already integrated into your
Vista™ operating system at delivery.

Procedure for Vista users:

Please connect your device to your PC with the help of the USB syn­chronization cable. The necessary drivers will be installed automati­cally, after the new device has been found. Your new device will be
listed under the ‘Portable Devices’ point in the Windows Explorer
overview, following a successful installation.

Attention

Important files can be overwritten or changed during the installation
of software. You should create a hard disk backup, in order to be able
to have access to the original files in the case of possible problems
following the installation.

Appendix

61

You must have administrator rights to install the software under Windows® 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 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 instruc-

tions on the screen.

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 recognizes now a new appliance and in-

stalls 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 part-

nership between your PC and the device.

62

English

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
the Help of the Program (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, 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 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.

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.

English

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.

Appendix

65

Installing the External TMC Receiver (optional)

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.

English

Additional Card Material

Your navigation system is already equipped with digitalized map material in the
internal memory and/or on a memory card at the factory.

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 22).
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 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 .psf 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.

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 prepared accordingly

The pre-installed software may have to be uninstalled beforehand (see special
CleanUp function, Page 59).

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 contacts 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® (see Page 63), 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.

Mounting on (Bicycle) Handlebars

You can attach your navigation system to a bicycle as an 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 direction.

6. Now place the device on the holder. You must pay attention to firm posi-

tioning.

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.
