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.

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).
