In your own interest, please read the following safety information and
warnings carefully before starting up your navigation system.
2.3.1 Navigation safety information
Use the navigation system at your own risk.
Caution! To prevent accidents, do not operate the navigation system
while driving.
- 8 - Before you begin
User’s manual NAVIGON 72xx
Caution! Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe to do so!
Caution! Traffic regulations have priority over any instructions from the
navigation system.
Caution! Follow the instructions of the navigation system only when the
circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow you to do so! The
navigation system will still guide you to your destination even if you
deviate from the calculated route.
Caution! Check that the cradle is secured and adjusted properly before
each journey.
Note: If you have not understood the spoken instructions or are unsure
about what to do next, you can refer briefly to the map or schematic
view of your navigation system.

Caution! Protect the device from moisture. The device is neither
waterproof nor protected against splash water.
Caution! Do not open the case of the navigation device under any
circumstances.
Caution! Do not expose the navigation device to extreme heat or cold.
This may damage the device or impair its function. (Refer to "

2.3.3 Safety 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.
Caution! Disconnect the car charger cable from the cigarette lighter

2. Press the card into the device until it locks in place.
Note: The navigation application works only when the memory card
contains the navigation software and card data.
2.5 Navigating 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
takes place once every second. In other words, your current position is
always shown on the map.
