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 lights red until the navigation
system is charged. Do not interrupt the charging process
before the battery is fully charged. This may take up to 8
hours.
The navigation system is fully charged if the charging indicator lights green.
• Note: You can use the navigation system during the charg-
ing process, but the power supply must not be interrupted
during initial set-up.
• To fully charge the built-in battery, the external power
source (car adapter or power adapter) should remain continuously connected to the device.
• You can leave the power adapter connected, and this is very
handy for continuous operation. Please note, that both the
car adapter as well as the power adapter are consuming
power, even when the battery of the navigation system is
not being charged.

Operating
17
Accessing Memory Cards
• The appliance only supports memory cards in the FAT16/32
file format. 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.
Warning: Formatting the memory card irretrievably
!
wipes out all data.
• Likewise you cannot just copy files onto the memory card.
In some cases they must be converted by the Microsoft
ActiveSync
®
program.
®
Data Exchange via Card Reader
However, 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 a card reader. Insert the card in
this and copy the data directly to the card.
Because of the direct access you can achieve a much higher
transfer rate compared to using ActiveSync
®
.
18
English
Resetting the Navigation System
There are two options for resetting the navigation system.
Soft Reset
This option restarts the navigation system, without reinstallation
being necessary. A soft-reset is often used in order to reorganize
the memory. In doing so all programs that are running are interrupted and the working memory is reinitialized.
Choose this option if your navigation system is not responding or
working properly.
Perform the soft-reset as follows:
Insert a pointed object (e.g. a paper clip, which has been bent
open) with slight pressure into the reset opening.
Hard Reset
!
Warning: A hard reset deletes all data on your ap-
pliance and causes a new initial installation.
It is not necessary to install the software on your synchronisation
computer again, however.
Perform the hard reset as follows:
1. Remove the external power source.
2. Push the On/Off switch on the back of the device to the OFF
position initially and back to ON after 2 seconds.
3. It will be necessary to carry out the software installation
again after a Hard Reset.

Safety Instructions for Navigation
The bundled product CD/DVD contains a comprehensive instruction manual.
Tips for Navigation
• Do not manipulate the navigation system while driving
to protect yourself and others from accidents!
• In the event that you do not understand the voice instruc-
tion or if you are in any doubt about what to do at the next
intersection, then the map or arrow display will provide you
with a quick orientation. Only look at the display when you
are in a safe driving situation!
!
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 stop driving.
• In order to receive the GPS signal correctly, metal objects
may not hinder reception. Attach the navigation system onto
the inside of the windscreen or near the windscreen with the
sucker. Try out different positions in your vehicle in order to
find the best reception.

First-Aid in the Event of Malfunction
Error functions can sometimes have trivial causes; however, they
can also sometimes be complex in nature and require costly
analysis.
General Guidance
Note: The regular running of the Windows® programs
i
“Defrag” and “Scandisk” on the PC can remove sources
of error and raise system performance.
Check Connections and Cables
Start with a careful visual check of all cable links. If the LCD’s are
not working, make sure that the power is reaching the computer
and all peripherals.
i
Note: Switch off the computer and check all cable
links. If the computer is connected to peripherals,
check also the plug connections of all cables. Do not
arbitrarily swap the cables between various units, even
if they appear to be precisely the same. The pin assignments of the cables are likely to be different. Once
you have ascertained that the power supply is not at
fault and all connections are intact, switch on the computer again.

Faults and Possible Causes
The navigation system no longer reacts or is behaving
atypically.
• Carry out a soft reset (see page 19).
The navigation system is recognized only as a guest by
ActiveSync
• See informationen on page 32.
I am receiving error messages from a maintenance program after installing ActiveSync
• The program places the WCESCOMM.LOG file in a temporary
directory defined by the system, which cannot be deleted. A
respective error message will appear, if another program attempts to do so.
The GPS receiver cannot be initialized or found.
If a GPS signal continues not to be reported on the screen, in
spite of the correct installation of the system, this can be caused
by the following factors:
• Sufficient satellite reception is not possible.
Solution:

II. Connecting with the PC
1. Press the On/Off button to start your navigation system.
2. Connect the USB cable to your navigation system.
3. Push the USB connector into a free USB port on your computer.
4. The hardware installation assistant recognizes now a new
appliance and installs a suitable driver which can take some
minutes. Repeat the die connection search if it fails the first
time.
5. Follow the instructions on the screen. The program will now
set up a partnership between your PC and the device.
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

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.

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: By limited line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, between
i
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
there line of sight is reestablished again.
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, for this reason. However, you can
also switch the device off by means 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 appliance is preset to not
i
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.
Appendix
33
External GPS Antenna
This second optional GPS antenna (only for Model A) makes it
possible to receive the signals of satellites better (e. g. in the case
of vehicles with a metallized windscreen).
1. The antenna should be pointing upwards.
2. Push the plug of the external GPS antenna into the opening
provided for it at the rear side of your device (see page 11,
n).

Reconstruction of the Content of the
Memory Card
Transfer of Card Material to a Memory Card
The transfer of additional card material to a memory card will
preferably take place through the Explorer of your PCs. Proceed
as follows:
1. Insert the CD/DVD with the card material required.
2. Start your workstation and select your CD/DVD Drive.
3. Copy the file with the .map ending out of the Directory of
the region that you require to the MapRegions Directory on
your memory card, from the CD/DVD.
You can transfer several files with map material to your memory
card, depending on the capacity of the memory card. There must
be sufficient space on your 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.
You will obtain additional memory cards (MMC or SD cards) in
specialist stores.
Transferring the installation files
You can transfer the navigation software to your memory card
again and then install the software on the Navigation System.
Proceed as follows to do this:

6. Copy all the files from this Directory into the Main Menu on
your memory card (‘Storage Card’).
Please check that the ‘MapRegions’ Directory is located on your memory card or the card data has been
stored on it. You will have to store the Directory again
and transfer the required card data from the respective
CD, if necessary.
