How do I install my ViaMichelin
Navigation X-970?
Installing the ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 in the vehicle
• Install your X-970 by sliding it onto the mounting system as shown.
• Connect the cigarette lighter cable to the X-970's mounting system.
• Install the mounting system on the windscreen by applying pressure to the suction pad and then turning the
screw clockwise. Make sure you position it in a place where it will not interfere with driving the vehicle.
• Start your vehicle.
• Connect your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket.
Refer to the installation diagram provided for further information.
Installing the ViaMichelin Navigation software
ViaMichelin Navigation is a “Plug & Drive” solution: simply insert the memory card provided (SD card) into
the slot located on the left side of the ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 and then follow the installation instructions
displayed on the screen: select the interface language, voice guidance language, 2D or 3D map display, etc.
ViaMichelin Navigation is now ready to guide you!
When you choose the voice guidance language, you may select a traditional pre-recorded voice
(6 languages available: American English, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) or voice synthesis
(6 languages available: American English,English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) which will guide
you with instructions concerning road names, directions, road signs or traffic information messages.
Comments:
• Make sure that your SD card is not locked: safety in the “lock” position, this could impair the operation of
the ViaMichelin Navigation software (in this position, the contents of your SD card are protected but the
software will not be able to save settings).
•
Use only the SD card supplied with your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970. Do not use it in other devices (digital
cameras, PDA,MP3, etc.). Do not change its content without using the ViaMichelin Content Manager program.
• If you experience any problems with your SD card, you may use the DVD-ROM supplied with your PND to
restore its original contents.

GPS operation
ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 is fitted with an SiRF Star III type GPS, the latest generation of GPS, which
works even in unfavourable reception conditions.
After selecting a destination and before the navigation instructions show your route, the GPS must have three
pieces of information to calculate the route: the position, direction of travel and speed. You may consult the
GPS status screen on your mobile device to follow the GPS signal acquisition. The time the GPS takes to
acquire this information varies depending on how much time has elapsed since the device was last used:
• your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has not been switched on for more than 24 hours (
“cold start”): in this
case the time needed to acquire satellite signals may be quite long (10-15 minutes), and the message
“Satellite detection. This may take several minutes” is displayed on the navigation screen
• your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has not been switched on for more than 4 hours (“
warm start”): GPS
reception may take several minutes (5 minutes) and the message
“Satellite signal acquisition in progress”
is displayed on the navigation screen.
• you switch on your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 after switching it off a few minutes ago (“
hot start”):
satellite reception is almost immediate and navigation can continue.
GPS acquisition time also varies depending on the surroundings:
•
athermic windscreens: if your vehicle is equipped with an athermic windscreen, GPS reception may be slower.
•
car park / tunnel / building: satellite signals do not travel through walls, so you will not receive a GPS signal
if your device is in a building, car park, tunnel, etc.
• urban “canyoning”: reception will be slower in urban areas if buildings are high, streets narrow or there
are a lot of trees. Go to an open space to improve reception.
• weather conditions: in poor weather (heavy snow, etc.), GPS reception may take slightly longer.
For full details about the operation of your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 and the GPS,download the full
manual and consult our online help (FAQ) at the ViaMichelin web site dedicated to GPS Navigation!
