Safety and Maintenance
Electromagnetic Compatibility
• When connecting additional or other components the “Electro-
magnetic Compatibility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered to.
Please also note that only screened cable (maximum 10ft) should
be used with this device.
• For optimal performance, maintain a distance of at least 10 ft. from
sources of high-frequency and magnetic interference (televisions,
loudspeaker systems, mobile telephones etc. This will help avoid
malfunctions and loss of data.
• Electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves during operation.
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.

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
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.
20
Initial Set-up
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.
