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 allow children to play with electrical equipment
unsupervised. Children may not always correctly recognize
possible danger.

• Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from chil-
dren. The danger of suffocation could arise in the case

of misuse.

• 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.

• To avoid damage, do not touch the screen with sharp ob­jects. Use only the stylus provided or another blunt imple­ment. The device can also be operated with a finger in
many cases.

• 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.

Safety and Maintenance

1

Terminate the electricity supply (remove the electricity plug),
switch the appliance off immediately, or do not actually switch it
on, and contact Customer Service

• if the power adapter (optional) or the attached plug be­come scorched or damaged.

• if the housing of the appliance or the power pack (optional)
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 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
example when braking. Install the device as vertically as
possible.

English

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 tem­perature of between +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).

Safety and Maintenance

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 and so on. 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.

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 so­cket 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 (optional)

• The outlet must be in the vicinity of the appliance and must
be easily accessible.

• To disconnect your appliance from the power source, re­move the mains adapter from the power socket.

• Only use the mains adapter on grounded sockets at
AC 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.

• Do not cover the power supply unit, in order to avoid dam-

age through unacceptable warming.

• Stop using the power supply unit if the housing or the feed
line to the device is damaged. Replace it with a power sup­ply unit of the same type.

• For additional safety, we recommend the use of a surge
protector in order to protect your appliance from damage
from spikes or lighting strikes on the power network.

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 pack­aging 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.

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 bat-

tery 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 orange until the naviga-
tion system is charged. 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 set-up.

• To fully charge the built-in battery, the external power
source should remain continuously connected to the device.

• You can leave the main adapter connected, and this is very
handy for continuous operation. Please note, that both the
car adapter as well as the optional power adapter are con­suming power, even when the battery of the navigation
system is not being charged.

• 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 will even be charged while the device is
switched off completely.

1. Plug the jack (n) of the connection cable into the corre-

sponding receptor at the bottom of your navigation system.

2. Insert the power adapter (o) now into the cigarette lighter

socket and ensure, that it will not lose contact while driv­ing. This could cause a malfunction.
