Initial Set-up
The following guides you step by step through the initial Set-up of the navigation system. Firstly, remove the foil from the display.
I. Charging the Battery
You have the following possibilities to charge the battery of your navi­gation system:
by means of the car adapter or
by means of the USB cable

20
Initial Set-up
Page 29
Please pay attention to the following notes when handling the battery:
The charging status display flashes orange 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 set­up.
Leave the external power supply connected to the navigation sys- tem for around 24 hours, so that the backup battery also charges­up fully.
You can leave the external power supply connected, and this is very handy for continuous operation. However, the the external power supply 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 can be charged while the device is switched off com- pletely.

34
Navigation
Page 43
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 pull over and stop driving.
In order to receive the GPS signal correctly, keep away from metal objects as they may hinder reception. Attach the navigation system onto the inside of the windshield or near the windshield with the suction cup. 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 safety, even in the case of an accident, when installing it.
Navigation
35
Page 44
Take care that the cable does not impede any safety components.
The display of your navigation system may show “light reflec-
tions”. Please take care of not being “blinded” during operation.
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 con-
nected. Remove 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 software 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 im- paired.
Do not cover any instruments during installation.

Page 45
Antenna Orientation
The antenna must have unrestricted access to the sky to receive GPS satellite signals. Orient the antenna as horizontally as possible for this reason. Try out antenna and installation possibilities in the vehicle in the case of inadequate reception. It may be necessary to install an external GPS antenna (see page 81) under certain circumstances.
I. Mounting the Car Holder
Attention!
Only fix the holder for the navigation system to the wind­shield, 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 peril-free and safe operation.

Appendix
Page 87
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 Call up 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
When the 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 the line of sight is re­established. 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. However, you can also switch the device off by means
80
Appendix
Page 89
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 device 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 windshield).
1. The antenna should be pointing upwards.
2. Push the plug of the external GPS antenna into the opening pro­vided for it.

TMC Traffic Monitoring (Traffic Message Channel)
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC Traffic Monitoring) is a digital radio data service that functions in a similar way to RDS and is used to continuously transmit traffic conditions and incidents to a suitable reception device. The traffic information is continuously transmitted across the FM frequency. 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 service is only available where Navteq traffic coverage exists. Coverage areas may expand or change without notice. Service is available for the life of the product as long as coverage exists.

Connecting the TMC Traffic Monitoring Dipole An­tenna
A TMC Traffic Monitoring receiver is integrated into your navigation system, to receive traffic information. However, reception will only be guaranteed if the TMC Traffic Monitoring angled antenna supplied with the device has been connected.
1. Plug the jack plug of the TMC Traffic Monitoring angled antenna into the earphones connection on the lower side of your navigation system.
2. Attach the antenna, on the edge or your windshield, for example, with the help of the sucker.
3. Place the antenna so that a distance of approx. 10 cm from the metal frame of the screen is maintained.
TMC Traffic Monitoring reception can be improved by different an­tenna positioning, according to the vehicle.

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 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.
86
Appendix
Page 95
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.
Accessing Memory Cards
The device only supports memory cards in the FAT16/32 file for- mat. 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.
Attention!
Formatting the memory card irretrievably wipes out all data.
Data Exchange via Card Reader
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 into your computer and copy the data directly to the card.
Appendix
87
Page 96
Because of the direct access you can achieve a much higher transfer rate compared to using ActiveSync®.
Additional Card Material
Your navigation system is already equipped with digitalized map ma­terial in the internal memory and/or memory card at the factory. De­pending on the configuration, additional maps may be included on your navigation DVD. You will be able to transfer these cards to a memory card immediately. It is recommended that you use an exter­nal card reader (see also page 87). 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 navigation DVD, mem­ory cards with capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1.024 MB or more may be required.
You can obtain additional memory cards (MMC or SD cards) in spe­cialist stores.
88
Appendix
Page 97
Transfer of card material to a memory card
The transfer of additional card material to a memory card can take place through Explorer on your PC via the following steps:
1. Insert the DVD with the card material required.
2. Start your workstation and select your 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 DVD.
You can transfer several files with map material to your memory card, depending on the capacity of the 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.
Appendix

Page 98
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.
The pre-installed software may have to be uninstalled beforehand (see special CleanUp function, Page 71).
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. Ensure 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.
