• if the power adapter or the attached plug become scorched or damaged.
• if the housing of the appliance or the power pack becomes 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 me-
dium. 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.
•When connecting additional or other components the “Electromagnetic Com-
patibility 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.

At the end of its life, the appliance must not be disposed of in household rubbish. Enquire
about the options for environmentally-friendly disposal with your local waste disposal
company.
Packaging
To avoid damage during transport, the PC is stored in a packaging. Packaging is produced
mostly from materials which can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner
and be professionally recycled.
If you wish to transport the appliance follow the instructions
below:
•Following transport of the appliance wait until the unit has acclimatized before us-
ing it.
•In the case of wide fluctuations in temperature or humidity condensation or mois-
ture may form inside the appliance and this can cause an electrical short-circuit.
•In order to protect the appliance from dirt, knocks and scratching please use the

rier 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

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,
• by means of the USB cable or
• by means of the AC adapter.
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 shines red 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. It will shine green when the accumulator is completely
charged.
• 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 con-
tinuous operation. However, the mains adapter 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.
