TMC antenna
The NAVIGON 83xx has an integrated TMC receiver. A TMC antenna
is integrated in the car charger cable. As soon as the navigation device
is inserted in the cradle it can receive traffic message updates. Dynamic
route changes are thus possible, e.g. in order to avoid a traffic jam.

2.5 Navigating with GPS
GPS is based on a total of at least 24 satellites which are circling the
earth and constantly transmitting 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 4 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
User’s manual NAVIGON 83xx

NAVIGON 83xx is being used at the moment for a call.
FM Transmitter
The NAVIGON 83xx has an integrated FM transmitter. This means that
you can listen to all audio outputs via the car radio's loudspeakers. This
applies to the navigation instructions, music from the MP3 player and
phone calls with the hands-free module.
The FM Transmitter
icon can indicate the following states of the
integrated battery:
No Signal (No symbol): The FM transmitter is deactivated.
FM Transmitter: The FM transmitter is activated. You can listen to
audio outputs from the device via the car radio. To do so, you must set
the radio to the frequency of the FM transmitter and the

A software keyboard appears on the screen when text entries are
necessary.
All entries can be made on the software keyboard using your fingertips.
Only capital letters can be entered.
When entering town or street names you need not enter any special
characters or umlauts. The navigation system fills in these characters
for you automatically. If, for example, you are searching for “Würzburg”,
then simply enter "WURZBURG". Special characters may be helpful
however when naming saved destinations and routes.

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
20 minutes to initialise the GPS receiver for the first time.
Note: If the GPS
symbol indicates GPS Ready after far less than
20 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 display, you will see the GPS
symbol.
As soon as data from at least three satellites is received, the icon will
change to
(GPS Ready).
User’s manual NAVIGON 83xx

Note: Initialisation takes the least time if you do not start driving until
the initialisation has finished.

symbol refer to chapter "GPS" on
page 19.
