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 flashes orange until the navi-
gation system is charged. 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, following 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.
