Safety Instructions
Please read this section carefully and follow all the instructions
given. This will help ensure reliable operation and extend the service life for your appliance.
Keep the packaging and the user instructions for future reference
or inquiries at a later date. If you pass the article on to another
person, you must pass on these instructions.
• 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 to life from electric
shock.
• Do not place any objects on the appliance and do not exert
any pressure on the display. Otherwise there is a danger
that the screen will break.
• There is a risk of injury if the display breaks. If this should
occur, use protective gloves to pack the broken parts and
contact customer support to arrange for disposal. Then wash
your hands with soap, since there is a possibility that chemicals may have escaped.
• Never allow children to play with electrical equipment un-
supervised. Children may not always correctly recognize
possible danger.
Remove the power adapter from the outlet, switch the appliance
off immediately, or do not actually switch it on, and contact Customer Service...
• ... if the power adapter or the attached plug become scor-
ched or damaged.
• ... if the housing of the appliance or the Power Pack be-
comes damaged or fluids leak into it. Components must be
checked by Customer Service in order to avoid damage!

Data Security
• Every time you update your data make backup copies on an
external storage medium. The supplier does not assume liability for data loss or damage to data storage units, and no
claims can be accepted for damages resulting from the loss
of data or for consequential damages.
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 moisture 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.
• Avoid the device from releasing itself from its holder, for ex-
ample when braking. Install the device as vertically as possible.
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 Service Partners. You will find the address on the
back of your guarantee card.
Ambient Temperature
• The appliance is most reliably operated at an ambient tem-
perature of between 41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°C) and at
a relative humidity of between 10% and 90% (noncondensing).
• In the powered down state the appliance can be stored at
between 32°F and 140°F (0°C and 60°C).

English
• Store the appliance in a safe location to avoid high tempera-
tures (e.g. when parking or from direct sunlight).
Electromagnetic Compatibility
• When connecting additional or other components the “Elec-
tromagnetic 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
and so on. This will help avoid malfunctions and loss of data.
• Electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves during opera-
tion.
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.

Connection
When connecting your appliance be sure to correctly observe the
following instructions:
Power through Car Adapter
• The car adapter should only be connected to the lighter so-
cket of a car (car battery = DC 12V , truck battery = DC
24V !). If you are in any doubt about the power source in
your car, contact your car manufacturer.
Power Supply
• The outlet must be in the vicinity of the appliance and must
be easily accessible.
• Only use the mains adapter on grounded sockets at
100 – 240 V~ AC, 50/60 Hz. If you are unsure about the
power supply to the place of use, ask the relevant energy
supplier.
• Use only the power adapter provided with your appliance.
• For additional safety, we recommend the use of a surge pro-
tector in order to protect your appliance from damage from
spikes or lighting strikes on the power network.
Cabling
• Arrange cables so that no-one can tread on them or trip
over them.
• Do not place any items on the cable.

Battery Operation
Your appliance is operated with a removable battery. In order to
prolong the life and efficiency of your battery and to ensure safe
operation, follow the instructions below:
!
Caution! Danger of explosion if rechargeable batteries
are not changed properly. Only replace with the same
type of battery or a similar type recommended by the
manufacturer. Never open the rechargeable battery.
Do not throw the rechargeable battery into fire. Dispose of the used batteries following the manufacturer's
instructions.
• Batteries cannot withstand heat. Avoid the appliance and
the integrated battery becoming overheated. Failure to
comply with this instruction may lead to damage to and even explosion of the battery.
• Use only the original power pack to charge the battery or
the car adapter from the navigation kit.
•
The batteries are special category waste. When dis-
posing of the appliance ensure that this is done correctly.
Contact Customer Service for more details.

Maintenance
!
Warning: There are no user-serviceable or clean-
able parts inside the housing of the appliance.
You can prolong the life of the appliance by taking the following
simple steps:
• Always remove the power plug and all connecting cables
before cleaning.
• Clean the appliance only with a damp, lint-free cloth.
• Do not use solvents, caustic or gaseous cleaners .
• The device and its packaging are recyclable.
Care of the Display
• Avoid scratching the display surface as this is easily dam-
aged. It is strongly recommended to use a display protection
mylar to avoid scratches. Please ask your nearest dealer for
this accessory.
The foil on the display at delivery is purely for protection
during transportation!
• To avoid damage, do NOT touch the screen with sharp ob-
jects but use a blunt implement. The device can also be
operated with a finger in many cases.
• Ensure that no traces of water remain on the screen. Water
can cause irreversible discoloration.
• Use only a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen.
• Do not expose the screen to either strong sunlight or ultra-
violet radiation.

Transport
If you wish to transport the appliance follow the instructions below:
• Following transport of the appliance wait until the unit has
acclimatized before using it.
• In the case of wide fluctuations in temperature or humidity
condensation or moisture may form inside the appliance and
this can cause an electrical short-circuit.
• In order to protect the appliance from dirt, knocks and
scratching, use either the protective case.
• Before travelling ensure that you are aware of the power
and communications provision at your destination. Before
travelling obtain any power or communications adapters
(modem, LAN, etc.) that may be needed.
• When shipping your appliance use only the original packag-
ing and advise the carrier accordingly.
• When passing through the hand luggage control at airports,
it is recommended that you pass the appliance and all magnetic storage media (external hard drives) through the X-ray
system (the machine on which you place your bags). Avoid
the magnetic detector (the structure through which you
yourself pass) or the magnetic wand (the hand device that
the security staff use), since this may corrupt your data.
