1_Introduction
Thank you for choosing the ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 to accompany you and help you during your travels.
The ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 is ergonomically designed to be as intuitive as possible. This manual nevertheless contains precise instructions, together with tips and advice, for each of the many functions that the device offers. They are intended to help you to get the best out of your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 device.
This PND (Personal Navigation Device) is fitted with a touch screen for better ergonomics.
The package you have purchased contains:
• 1 ViaMichelin Navigation X-970
• 2 Car mounting systems for windshield or dashboard use
• 1 Cigarette lighter cable
• 1 USB cable
• 1 Power adapter
• 1 SD card with USA and Canada already loaded
• 1 ViaMichelin Navigation DVD-ROM
• 1 Installation diagram
• QuickStart manual
Before installing the ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 mobile device in your car, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with how the system operates.
When you first operate your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970, please connect it to the cigarette lighter socket or to your (switched on) PC using the USB cable or the power adapter supplied with your unit for about four hours. You may notice that the indicator light in the top left-hand corner of your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 changes color according to the battery power level:
Indicator Light is Red: the ViaMichelin PND is charging or run down.
•
• Indicator Light is Green: the ViaMichelin PND is charged.
The ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has a battery life of approximately 3 hours. This battery life depends on how the device is used. For example the sound volume and screen brightness as well as using the “hands-free” function on your PND may considerably reduce this battery life.
You will find other helpful information and updates to this manual on the dedicated Navigation website:
http://www.ViaMichelin.us/support970.php
> GPS Navigation > Support
2_Installation in the vehicle
2.1 Button and sockets
You will find the visual presentation of the various elements making up your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 on the installation diagram.
• On the top: On/Off button To switch the device on or off.
• On the left side: SD card reader For SD cards with a storage capacity of up to 2 GB.
• Under the device: Audio socket Use this 3.5 mm jack to connect an earphone for audible alarms.
Mini-USB port To connect your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 to your PC using
the USB cable provided.
Power connector To connect the cigarette lighter cable supplied with your device
or a power adapter.
• Mounting system connection socket This socket provides the connection between the parts in the car mounting system
and the device. It is also used to connect the antenna to receive traffic information (an option that will be available via a separate accessory at a later date).
• At the back of your device:
Antenna socket This socket is not currently used.
Reset In certain situations, it may be necessary to reset the PND; to
reset the device (soft or hard reset), see the information in the table in chapter 15.

TMC socket This socket is not currently used.
Power connector Used to connect the cigarette lighter cable and the power adapter
supplied with your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970.
Comments:
The power adapter contains the transformer used to supply and recharge the battery in your device. It must be installed near your PND and be accessible so that you can disconnect the device easily.
Disconnect the power adapter first before disconnecting the PND cable.
2.2 Installing the hardware in a vehicle
• To benefit from better mounting if necessary, unscrew the suction pad slightly from the support.
• Install the mounting system on the windsheild by applying pressure to the suction pad and then turning the screw clockwise.
• Start your vehicle.
• Connect the cigarette-lighter cable to your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 mounting system (socket on the right­hand side) and then to your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
• Mount your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 by sliding it onto the mounting system as shown on the installation diagram provided.
• Turn on your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 and plan your journey.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
- Make sure you position the mounting system in a place where it will not obstruct visibility or interfere with driving the vehicle.
- Make sure you position the cigarette lighter cable in a place where it will not obstruct visibility or interfere with driving the vehicle.
- Make sure you plan your destination when the vehicle is stationary. We strongly recommend that you not operate the device while driving.
2.3 Installing the software pre-recorded on the SD card
ViaMichelin Navigation is a “Plug & Drive” solution: simply install the SD memory card provided on the left side of your PND. The card must be fully inserted face up in the direction of the blue arrow as shown in the illustration below:
To remove the SD card from the device, press on the side of the SD card and release. The SD card will then be ejected from the device.
Then follow the installation instructions displayed on your screen:
Select the language for the menus
•
Configure keyboard
•
Select the voice guidance language
•
When choosing 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 (American English),which will guide you with instructions concerning road names, directions, road signs
Voice guidance settings
•
Select the distance unit
•
Select map display
•
Time display format
•
Set the time
•
•
To select the setting you want, click on the arrows to the left or right of the different choices
then click on the arrow at the bottom of the screen to move to the next setting or go back to the previous setting to modify it. After installing the software on your PND you can change the selected settings from the different menus in the “Settings” menu.
Once the SD card programs are installed you reach the legal disclaimer screen. After clicking the “I Accept” button you reach the Main Menu. The following chapters explain how to use it:
Your ViaMichelin X-970 Navigation is now ready to guide you!
Comments:
• If you switch on your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 without first inserting an SD card, a demonstration mode will run automatically after 90 seconds. To stop the demonstration, simply insert the supplied SD card into the slot provided. You will then be able to start using your product.
• Make sure that your SD card is not locked: safety in the “lock” position, this may 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 required for the software to run properly).
• 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.
You can then install the PC application “Content Manager” which will allow you not only to use the advanced functions provided by ViaMichelin Navigation X-970, such as the new “My ViaMichelin” to transfer your personal data to your mobile device directly from the ViaMichelin web site: http://www.ViaMichelin.com to export points of interest (POI) and to manage the map sets, but also to restore the initial content of your SD card if necessary (see Chapter 13 – Content Manager).
2.4 Activating the GPS
• After connecting your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 and installing the software on the SD card, go to the Main Menu, and click Settings / Navigation / GPS. This will take you directly to the page presenting GPS reception:
When using your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 for the first time, we recommend you to do so in an open space in order to ensure the best possible satellite reception. Activating the GPS system for the first time can take several minutes, depending on the surroundings and the quality of the GPS signals.
Similarly, when setting off on a calculated route, you need to start moving so that the system can determine the direction and speed of the vehicle and suggest a route corresponding to your traffic direction.
Detailed instructions for installing and using the GPS are given in Chapter 6.2.2 of this manual.
