later date. If you pass the article on to another person, you must pass on these
instructions.
• Never allow children to play with electrical equipment unsupervised.
• Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from children as there is a dan-
ger of suffocation.
• 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
of electric shock.

Operating Environment
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to damage to your appliance. The
guarantee will be excluded in such cases.
• Keep your navigation System and all connected devices away from mois-
ture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight, especially in the car.
• 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.
• Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking, such as can arise, for example, in the
case of transverse field intrusions.
• Install the device as vertically as possible to prevent the device from releas-
ing itself from its holder.
Repair
• Please contact our Service Center if you encounter technical problems with
your appliance.
• In the event repair becomes necessary, please use only our authorized Ser-
vice Partners. You will find the address on the back of your guarantee card.
Ambient Temperature
• The appliance is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature of be-
tween 41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°C) and at a relative humidity of between 10% and 90% (non-condensing).
• In the powered down state the appliance can be stored at between
32°F and 140°F (0°C and 60°C).
• Store the appliance in a safe location to avoid high temperatures (e.g.
when parking or from direct sunlight).

English
Electromagnetic Compatibility
• When connecting additional or other components the “Electromagnetic
Compatibility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered to. Please also note that
only screened cable (maximum 10ft) should be used with this appliance.
• 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
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 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.
The LED will fade after the end of the charging process in the case of Models 3315 and 3415.
• 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 (optional) 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 completely.

Note
Brief pressure on the on/off button will be enough to switch the
device on or off, provided that your navigation system is connected
to an external source of electricity or is running in battery operation
(standby mode).
You can adjust the period of operation to suit your needs using the
Settings button on the main screen of your device. Your device is
delivered in a status in which it will not switch off independently.
To switch your navigation system completely off, push the on/off
button at the bottom of the device to the OFF position.
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 is in the standby mode.
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 must always have to be inserted in the device while the
navigation system is being used.
It will be necessary to carry out a Reset to restart the navigation system if the memory card has been removed (see page 22).
Please also read the chapter Navigation starting on page 23.
