SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read this section carefully and follow all the instructions
given. This will help ensure reliable operation and extend the service life for your appliance.
Keep the packaging and the user instructions for future reference
or inquiries at a later date. If you pass the article on to another
person, you must pass on these instructions.
¾ Never open up the housing of the appliance or the power
adapter. These contain no user-serviceable parts. If the housing is opened there is a danger to life from electric shock.
¾ Do not place any objects on the appliance and do not exert
any pressure on the display. Otherwise there is a danger that
the screen will break.
¾ To avoid damage, do not touch the screen with sharp objects.
¾ There is a risk of injury if the display breaks. If this should
occur, use protective gloves to pack the broken parts and
contact customer support to arrange for disposal. Then wash
your hands with soap, since there is a possibility that chemicals may have escaped.
¾ Never allow children to play with electrical equipment un-
supervised. Children may not always correctly recognize possible danger.

Remove the power adapter from the outlet, switch the appliance
off immediately, or do not actually switch it on, and contact
Customer Service...
... if the power adapter or the attached plug become
scorched or damaged.
... if the housing of the appliance or the Power Pack becomes
damaged or fluids leak into it. Components must be checked
by Customer Service in order to avoid damage!
DATA SECURITY
¾ Every time you update your data make backup copies on an
external storage medium. The supplier does not assume liability for data loss or damage to data storage units, and no
claims can be accepted for damages resulting from the loss of
data or for consequential damages.
REPAIR
¾ Please contact our Service Center if you encounter technical
problems with your appliance.
¾ In the event repair becomes necessary, please use only our
authorized Service Partners. You will find the address on
the back of your guarantee card.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
¾ Keep your navigation System and all connected devices
away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight,
especially in the car.
¾ Make sure you protect your appliance from getting wet,
e.g. from rain and hail, at all times. Please pay attention
that moisture can even build up in a protective pouch because of condensation.
¾ Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking, such as can arise,
for example, in the case of transverse field intrusions.
¾ Avoid the device from releasing itself from its holder, for
example when braking. Install the device as vertically as
possible.
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to damage to your appliance. The guarantee will be excluded in such cases.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
¾ The appliance is most reliably operated at an ambient tem-
perature of between 41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°C) and at a
relative humidity of between 10% and 90% (noncondensing).
¾ In the powered down state the appliance can be stored at
between 32°F and 140°F (0°C and 60°C).
¾ Store the appliance in a safe location to avoid high tempera-
tures (e.g. when parking or from direct sunlight).
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
¾ When connecting additional or other components the “Elec-
tromagnetic Compatibility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered
to. Please also note that only screened cable (maximum 10ft)
should be used with this appliance.
¾ For optimal performance, maintain a distance of at least 10 ft.
from sources of high-frequency and magnetic interference
(televisions, loudspeaker systems, mobile telephones and so
on. This will help avoid malfunctions and loss of data.
¾ Electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves during opera-
tion.
These emissions are harmless, but can interfere with other
devices operated in close proximity.
While our devices are tested and optimized for electromagnetic compliance in our laboratories, interference during operation may still occur in the device itself and with other devices in its proximity.
Should such interference occur, try to eliminate it by adjusting the positions of and the distances between the devices.
Before driving a car, please ensure that the electronic systems of the car are working properly.
