while driving.
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 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.
User’s manual NAVIGON 8410
Before you begin - 11 -
Note: If you have not understood the spoken instructions or are unsure
about what to do at the next junction, you can refer briefly to the map or
schematic view of your navigation system.
2.4.2 Safety information for the navigation device
Caution! Protect the device from moisture. The device is neither
waterproof nor protected against splash water.
Caution! The surface of the display is made of glass. It can break if the
device is dropped.
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 "Technical
data" on p
age 102)
Caution! Never unplug by pulling the cable. Doing so could severely
damage or destroy the device.
Caution! Do not subject the navigation device to severe temperature
fluctuations.
This can cause condensation to form.
Note: Do not kink the cable. Make sure that the cable cannot be
damaged by sharp-edged objects.
Note: The fabric pouch delivered with the navigation device is made of
micro-fibre. The navigation device is best cleaned with this fabric pouch.
Note: Create a backup of the data in the internal memory of your
navigation device and on the supplied memory card.
This is very easy to do with the NAVIGON Fresh software which you
can install on your computer using NAVIGON Suite or download free of
charge from our website www.navigon.com
.
2.4.3 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.
User’s manual NAVIGON 8410
- 12 - Before you begin
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
whenever you park the car. The integrated mains adapter always
consumes a small amount of energy and could drain the car battery.
2.5 Preparing the NAVIGON 8410 for use
2.5.1 Assembling the mains adapter

"Important safety information" on page 10.
The mains adapter has an operating voltage of 100~240V. Several
different plug adapters are provided. Charging the navigation device
when abroad is therefore no problem.
► Push the correct plug adapter for the country in question into the
slot on the mains adapter until it locks in place.
2.5.2 Charging the rechargeable battery
It is possible that the rechargeable battery is not fully charged when you
unpack the navigation device. We recommend that you fully charge the
battery before using the device for the first time.
► Connect the mains adapter to the navigation device and to a mains
socket.
User’s manual NAVIGON 8410
Before you begin - 13 -
Note: Plug the USB connector into the navigation device as far it will
go! (Refer to "Troubleshooting" on page 107)
During charging, the LED on the bottom of the NAVIGON 8410 shines
with an orange light.
As soon as the battery is fully charged, the LED lights up green.
2.5.3 Installing the navigation system in the vehicle
Caution! Be sure to refer to all the safety information in chapter
"Important safety information" on page 10.
Securing the cradle
1. Clean the suction cup and that part of the windscreen to which you
want to secure the cradle. Both must be dry and free of dirt and
grease.
Note: Use a damp lint-free cloth to clean the suction cup. Do not use
any solvent or cleaning agent.
2. Open the lever on the suction cup as far as possible.
3. Place the cradle suction cup against the windscreen.
4. Press the lever towards the windscreen.
User’s manual NAVIGON 8410
- 14 - Before you begin
Adjusting the cradle
On the back of the cradle is an adjusting screw which can be used to
adjust the cradle.
To make adjustments you need a matching Allen key (2.5 mm).
► Make the adjustments in steps, i.e. turn the screw in or out by no
more than a quarter of a turn and test the effect.
Caution! Overtightening the adjusting screw can cause damage to the
cradle!
Supplying power to the naviga tion device
Included in delivery of the NAVIGON 8410 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 on the cradle. The navigation device will be
supplied with power as soon as it is inserted in the cradle.
Caution! Connect the car charger cable only to cigarette lighters with
an operating voltage of 10-24V.
TMC antenna
The NAVIGON 8410 has an integrated TMC receiver. The 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. If required, it can change your route dynamically, e.g. in order
to avoid a traffic jam.
User’s manual NAVIGON 8410
Before you begin - 15 -
Inserting the navigation device into the cradle
On the back of the NAVIGON 8410 you will see a circle with two
recesses.
1. Hang the navigation device by the upper recess on the upper lug of
the cradle. (See illustration)
2. Then press it towards the cradle so that it latches in place.
Removing the navigation device from the cradle
On the bottom of the plate in which you hung the navigation device is a
clip.
1. Pull the clip towards yourself so that the device is released from the
clip.
2. Lift the device up and out of the cradle.
2.5.4 Memory card
A memory card is not required to operate the NAVIGON 8410 because
all the data needed for navigation are stored in the internal memory of
the device.
The memory card inserted in the navigation device contains additional
data which are needed for comfort functions such as Real City 3D. You
can copy these data to another memory card (microSD card) or save
them on your PC.
When you connect the NAVIGON 8410 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 using the NAVIGON Fresh
software, which you can install on your computer with NAVIGON Suite
or download free of charge from our website www.navigon.com
.
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
User’s manual NAVIGON 8410
- 16 - Switching on the NAVIGON 8410
then insert in the device. The NAVIGON 8410 can use navigation maps
from both memories.
Note: Comfort functions such as Real City 3D are not available without
the data on the supplied memory card. If you insert a different memory
card in the navigation device, make sure that it also contains these
data.
2.6 Navigation 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.
3 Switching on the NAVIGON 8410
► Press the (On/Off) key and keep it pressed until the device
switches on. (Approx. 2 seconds)
The S
TART window opens.
Note: When you switch on the NAVIGON 8410 for the first time, you
will be asked to make the following settings:
► your preferred language for using for the software
► the unit of length for distances

► Phone, see page 88
Note: If you have not used the NAVIGON 8410 for a long time, the
battery may be flat.
When you connect the navigation device to the supplied car charger
cable, it can be switched on immediately even if the battery is flat. If you
use a different charger cable or have connected your device to a PC, it
may need charging for approx. 3 minutes before it can be switched on.
Charging takes a relatively long time when the navigation device is
activated. If you are not using the navigation device, switch it off or to
standby for charging purposes.
Chargers and other accessories are available in the NAVIGON online
shop at www.navigon.com
or in specialist stores.

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).
Note: Initialisation takes the least time if you do not start driving until
the initialisation has finished.
For more details about the GPS
symbol refer to chapter "GPS" on
page 19.

The NAVIGATION window opens when the navigation application is
started.
