frequency and magnetic interference (televisions, loudspeaker systems, mobile telephones etc. This will help to 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, please ensure that the electronic systems of the car are working
properly.

the wheel downwards (-).
Press the wheel briefly to activate speech input
(optional).
The following is a step by step guide to assist in the initial Set-up of the navigation system.
Start by removing the protective plastic sheet from the display.
I. Charging the Battery
The battery of your navigation system can be charged in the following ways:
• Using the supplied car adapter,
• using a suitable USB cable or
• by using a mains adapter (purchased as an optional extra).
Attention!
It may be necessary to initially charge the battery for a considerable period
of time prior to commencing and running through the initial installation,
this is dependent on the level of charge held at the time by the internal
battery.
Please observe the following notes:
• The charging status display LED will flash orange until the navigation system is
charged. If possible, do not interrupt the charging process until the
battery is fully charged. This may take a few hours. The charging status LED will
shine constant green if the battery has a high level of charge. Leave the device
charging for 20 further minutes, to ensure the battery is charged-up fully.
•The navigation system can be used 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.
•The external power supply can remain connected; this is recommended for con-
tinuous operation.
•Even after a power source has been connected to the device it may take several
minutes until the device is once again ready to operate again, this occurs if the
charging state of the battery is exceptionally low. The battery will continue to be
charged if the power supply is connected and the device is switched off.
1. Plug the jack (n) of the connection cable into the corresponding receptor at the
bottom of your navigation system.
2. Insert the power adapter (o) into the cigar lighter socket ensuring, that it will not
lose contact while driving. This could cause a malfunction.
Alternative possibility of charging the battery
The battery will charge as soon as you connect your navigation device to a switched-on PC
or notebook by means of a USB cable.
Please pay attention to the fact that both USB plugs of the USB cable supplied with the
device must be connected to your PC or laptop to guarantee a sufficient supply of electricity.
No additional software or updates are required for your PC to perform this function. Do
not interrupt the charging process if possible during the initial charge.
Note
The brightness will be adjusted downwards, if necessary, if a USB connection is being set up when the device is switched on.
It is recommended to set the device to the stand-by mode, in order to
shorten the charging time by USB.
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). The device will be reactivated by pressing the On/Off button
once (> ½ sec.).
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 main switch to
the OFF position.
No data will be lost as data is stored in the internal memory. The starting
process will only take slightly longer.
Your navigation system will use a low amount of electricity and the batteries will be discharged, even when in 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 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 26).
Please also read the chapter Navigation starting on page 28.
Your device will be in its normal operating state after the initial setting up. You can activate
and deactivate your device with the On/Off button.
