Please read this section carefully and follow all the instructions
given. This will help ensure reliable operation and extend the service life for your appliance.
Keep the packaging and the user instructions for future reference
or inquiries at a later date. If you pass the article on to another
person, you must pass on these instructions.
Never open up the housing of the appliance or the power
adapter. These contain no user-serviceable parts. If the housing is opened there is a danger to life from electric shock.
Do not place any objects on the appliance and do not exert
any pressure on the display. Otherwise there is a danger that
the screen will break.
To avoid damage, do not touch the screen with sharp objects.
Use only the stylus provided.
There is a risk of injury if the display breaks. If this should
occur, use protective gloves to pack the broken parts and
contact customer support to arrange for disposal. Then wash
your hands with soap, since there is a possibility that chemicals may have escaped.
Never allow children to play with electrical equipment un-
supervised. Children may not always correctly recognize possible danger.

O
PERATING ENVIRONMENT
Keep your navigation System and all connected devices
away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight,
especially in the car.
Make sure you protect your appliance from getting wet,
e.g. from rain and hail, at all times. Please pay attention
that moisture can even build up in a protective pouch because of condensation.
Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking, such as can arise,
for example, in the case of transverse field intrusions.
Avoid the device from releasing itself from its holder, for
example when braking. Install the device as vertically as
possible.
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to damage to your appliance. The guarantee will be excluded in such cases.

MBIENT TEMPERATURE
The appliance is most reliably operated at an ambient tem-
perature of between 41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°C) and at a
relative humidity of between 10% and 90% (noncondensing).
In the powered down state the appliance can be stored at
between 32°F and 140°F (0°C and 60°C).
Store the appliance in a safe location to avoid high tempera-
tures (e.g. when parking or from direct sunlight).
E
LECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
When connecting additional or other components the “Elec-
tromagnetic Compatibility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered
to. Please also note that only screened cable (maximum 10ft)
should be used with this appliance.
For optimal performance, maintain a distance of at least 10 ft.
from sources of high-frequency and magnetic interference
(televisions, loudspeaker systems, mobile telephones and so
on. This will help avoid malfunctions and loss of data.
Electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves during operation.
These emissions are harmless, but can interfere with other
devices operated in close proximity.
While our devices are tested and optimized for electromagnetic compliance in our laboratories, interference during
operation may still occur in the device itself and with other
devices in its proximity.
Should such interference occur, try to eliminate it by adjusting the positions of and the distances between the devices.
Before driving a car, please ensure that the electronic systems of the car are working properly.

ONNECTION
When connecting your appliance be sure to correctly observe the
following instructions:
P
OWER SUPPLY
The outlet must be in the vicinity of the appliance and must
be easily accessible.
Only use the mains adapter on grounded sockets at
100 – 240 V~ AC, 50/60 Hz. If you are unsure about the
power supply to the place of use, ask the relevant energy
supplier.
Use only the power adapter provided with your appliance.
For additional safety, we recommend the use of a surge pro-
tector in order to protect your appliance from damage from
spikes or lighting strikes on the power network.
P
OWER THROUGH CAR ADAPTER
The car adapter should only be connected to the lighter
socket of a car (car battery = DC 12V , no trucks!). If you
are in any doubt about the power source in your car, contact
your car manufacturer.
C
ABLING
Arrange cables so that no-one can tread on them or trip
over them.
Do not place any items on the cable.

ATTERY OPERATION
Your appliance is operated with a removable battery. In order to prolong the life and efficiency of your battery and to ensure safe operation, follow the instructions below:
Caution! Danger of explosion if rechargeable batteries are
not changed properly. Only replace with the same type of
battery or a similar type recommended by the manufacturer. Never open the rechargeable battery. Do not throw
the rechargeable battery into fire. Dispose of the used
batteries following the manufacturer's instructions.
Batteries cannot withstand heat. Avoid the appliance and the
integrated battery becoming overheated. Failure to comply
with this instruction may lead to damage to and even explosion of the battery.
Use only the original power pack to charge the battery or the
car adapter from the optional navigation kit.
The batteries are special category waste. When dis-
posing of the appliance ensure that this is done correctly.
Contact Customer Service for more details.
M

ARE OF THE DISPLAY
Avoid scratching the display surface as this is easily dam-
aged. It is strongly recommended to use a display protection
mylar to avoid scratches. Please ask your nearest dealer for
this accessorie.
The foil on the display at delivery is purely for protection
during transportation!
Ensure that no traces of water remain on the screen. Water
can cause irreversible discoloration.
Use only a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen.
Do not expose the screen to either strong sunlight or ultra-
violet radiation.
T
RANSPORT
If you wish to transport the appliance follow the instructions below:
Following transport of the appliance wait until the unit has
acclimatized before using it.
In the case of wide fluctuations in temperature or humid-
ity condensation or moisture may form inside the appliance
and this can cause an electrical short-circuit.
In order to protect the appliance from dirt, knocks and
scratching, use either the protective case.
Before traveling ensure that you are aware of the power and
communications provision at your destination. Before traveling obtain any power or communications adapters (modem,
LAN, etc.) that may be needed.
When shipping your appliance use only the original packaging
and advise the carrier accordingly.
When passing through the hand luggage control at airports, it
is recommended that you pass the appliance and all magnetic
storage media (external hard drives) through the X-ray system (the machine on which you place your bags). Avoid the
magnetic detector (the structure through which you yourself
pass) or the magnetic wand (the hand device that the security staff use), since this may corrupt your data.
