2.4.4Safety guidelines when installing the device in your car
Caution! Fasten the cradle so that the navigation device is easy to see and operate by the driver. Make sure that the driver's view of the traffic is not impeded.
Caution! Do not attach the cradle within the working zone of any airbags.
Caution! Do not fasten the cradle too close to the steering wheel or other controls. The driver must not be obstructed in operating any car functions.
Caution! When installing the cradle, make sure that it will not pose a risk in the event of an accident.
Caution! Do not run cables directly next to safety-relevant devices and power supplies.
Caution! Check that the cradle is secured and adjusted properly before each journey. The suction cup may become loose after a while.
Caution! After installation, check all safety-relevant equipment in the car.
Caution! Connect the car charger cable only to cigarette lighters with an operating voltage of 10-24V.

2.Connect the car charger cable to the vehicle's cigarette lighter and to the mini-USB socket on the NAVIGON Live module.
The module's NAVIGON logo lights up orange as soon as it is supplied with electricity. At the same time it supplies power to the connected navigation device.
3.Make sure that the NAVIGON Live module lies on the dashboard so that mobile radio reception is as good as possible.
Supplying power to the navigation device
This section is relevant for you only if your navigation device is one of the following devices:
►NAVIGON 40 Essential
►NAVIGON 40 Easy
►NAVIGON 40 Plus
►NAVIGON 40 Premium
Included in delivery of the navigation device is a car charger cable with which power can be supplied to the navigation device via the vehicle's cigarette lighter.
►Connect the car charger cable to the vehicle's cigarette lighter and to the mini USB socket of the navigation device.
The LED on the bottom of the navigation device lights up orange during charging.
As soon as the battery is fully charged, the LED lights up green.
Caution! Connect the car charger cable only to cigarette lighters with an operating voltage of 10-24V.

Note: It takes approx. 3 hours to charge the device when the battery is flat.
A fully charged battery enables up to 3 hours of use depending on the device configuration.
TMC antenna
The navigation device has an integrated TMC receiver. The TMC antenna is integrated in the car charger cable. Once the car charger cable is connected, the device can receive current traffic messages. If required, it can change your route dynamically, e.g. in order to avoid a traffic jam.
2.5.2Memory card
A memory card is not required to operate the navigation system because all the data required for navigation are stored in the internal memory of the device.
When you connect the navigation system to your computer using a USB cable, the internal memory is detected as the 'NAVIGON' drive. The slot for the memory card is detected as the 'NAVIGON SD' drive.
Data backups, software updates and navigation map updates can be carried out quickly and conveniently with the NAVIGON Fresh software, which you can download free of charge from the website www.navigon.com/fresh.
If you purchase additional navigation maps but no longer have enough space for them in the internal memory of your navigation device, it is also possible for you to save these maps on a memory card which you then insert in the device. The navigation system can use navigation maps from both memories.

7.Tap on OK.
The NAVIGATION window is opened. From here you have access to all the functions of your navigation device and all available NAVIGON Live services.
2.7Navigating with GPS
GPS is based on a total of at least 24 satellites orbiting the Earth and continuously transmitting signals of their position and time. The GPS receiver receives this data and calculates its own geographical position on the basis of the information transmitted by the various satellites.
Data from at least three satellites is required for positioning with an acceptable degree of accuracy. With data from four or more satellites it is possible in addition to determine the position's altitude above sea level. Positioning is accurate to within three metres.
Once the navigation device has determined your position, this position can be used as a starting point for calculating a route.
The map data on your navigation device includes the geographical coordinates of all digitally recorded points of interest, streets and places. This enables the device to calculate a route between a starting point and a destination.
Calculation of the current position and its representation on the map take place approximately once every second. In other words, your current position is always shown on the map.

Initialising the GPS receiver
Note: Good reception of GPS data requires an unobstructed path from the GPS receiver to the satellites. Tunnels, narrow thoroughfares between buildings and reflecting house fronts can restrict GPS reception greatly or make it impossible. If the GPS receiver or the navigation device is inside a vehicle, a metallised windscreen or a windscreen heater can be the cause of poor GPS reception.
As soon as the navigation device has been switched on, initialisation of the GPS receiver will begin.
The integrated GPS receiver is not initialised for the first time until the navigation application is started for the first time. It can take up to
5 minutes to initialise the GPS receiver for the first time.
Note: If the GPS symbol indicates GPS Ready after far less than
5 minutes, it is advisable to leave the navigation device switched on for at least another 15 minutes in order to ensure reliable operation of the receiver.
Each time you switch on the navigation device after this, GPS reception will start within a short time.
If the navigation device has not been switched on for more than a week, it can take up to 10 minutes to re-initialise the receiver.
In the top right hand corner of the screen you will see the GPS symbol. As soon as data from at least three satellites is received, the symbol will
change to 
(GPS Ready).
