Power Up

To switch the GPS on for the first time, slide the hardware reset switch left to the “ON” position.

NOTE: After switching your device on for the first time, you should not use the hardware reset switch again unless you want to do a hardware reset. See “Resetting the Device” on page 34 for more information. Instead, use the power button on the top of the device.

Screen Calibration

When you switch the device on for the first time, you will have to calibrate the screen. Follow the simple on-screen instructions on page 32.

Set the Time/Date

You may wish to set the time before you first use the device. For information on setting the time and date, see “Setting the Time/Date” on page 30.

For more information on other setup options, see “Settings” on page 29.

Inserting an SD/MMC Card

Any music tracks or photos that you may transfer from your computer are stored on the SD/MMC card.

To insert the SD/MMC card, make sure it is aligned correctly, and then push it into the SD/MMC slot on the right-hand side of the device until you hear an audible signal to say that it has been correctly inserted.

NOTE: Should you ever need to remove the SD/MMC card, push it in a little and let it pop out.

Connecting to a Computer

Establishing GPS-PC connection

Connect the smaller end of the USB cable to the mini-USB port on the left-hand side of your GPS. Connect the larger end of the USB cable to an available USB port on your computer.

Charging the GPS

Battery Indicators

Your device uses a rechargeable 1200 mAh Lithium Ion battery. The battery icon is located on the top right-hand corner of the Main Menu screen and indicates the battery level, or charging state, as follows:

- Charger attached. Battery is charging.

- Running on battery power. Battery fully charged.

- Running on battery power. Battery is low and charging is recommended.

When the battery reaches an extremely low level, a warning message will appear. When you see this message, you must recharge the battery immediately.

LED indicators

• Blue - Charging

• Green - Fully charged (charger plugged in)

• Flashing blue - Low battery

Using the AC Adaptor

Plug the AC adaptor into an AC power source, then plug the other end into the

Mini USB/DC in connector on the left side of the GPS.

Charge the GPS for 8 hours before initial use. After the first charge, recharging will normally take approximately 4 hours.

Car Installation

Setting up the GPS in your vehicle

Use the included car kit to set up the GPS in your vehicle. The car kit can either be used on the windshield (using the suction cup), or on the dashboard using the self adhesive disk and the suction cup together.

CAUTION: Please check with local laws regarding the mounting of devices on or close to the windshield of your vehicle.

CAUTION: Do not mount the device where it obscures your view of the road.

CAUTION: Do not mount the device anywhere where it might affect the deployment of any airbags.

Using the Suction Cup

NOTE: Make sure the mounting surface is clean before mounting the car kit.

1. Fix the suction cup to the selected area with the locking lever facing up (A), then flip the locking lever away from you to create a vacuum between the suction cup and the mounting surface (B).

NOTE: Make sure that the suction bond is strong enough before proceeding to the next step.

2. Feed the car charger cable down the back of the car holder.

3. Insert the pegs on the car mount’s holder plate to the holes on the back of the car holder, then move the car holder downwards until both parts are engaged.

4. Dock the GPS on the car holder.

5. Adjust the car mount for the best viewing angle.

6. After setting up the GPS, connect the car charger.

Introduction

We hope that you enjoy using your new GPS Navigation system. This manual is designed to help you get the most out of your system. This navigation system leads you straight to your destination, whether you are traveling by car or on foot. You can navigate and plan your route with an easy-to-use and intuitive interface, plan your trip to suit your personal preferences and interests and find and save interesting destinations before you begin your trip.

Key features

• Accurate navigational guidance with spoken word

commands anywhere

• Real pedestrian mode – through parks and open

spaces

• Trip planning

• Look-ahead search function

(Bookmark)

• Earth browsing – zoom from satellite view to street

level view

• Unique night mode for easy night viewing

• State of the art guidance engine

Getting started

Please make sure that the battery in your device is fully charged. Refer to the hardware section of this manual for instructions covering how to charge your system.

• Power up the unit and tap NAVIGATION on the first

screen.

Choosing a language

If more than one language is available on your device, you will be prompted to select the desired language. The language selected will change not only the audible commands that you hear during navigation, but also the text displayed throughout the user interface.

• Click on the flag representing the desired country

language

o You may change the language selection at any time

• On the next screen, choose the desired voice type to

be used for the voice commands during navigation (e.g., female or male voice)

Set time zone

Your PND automatically determines the time through the GPS signal. However, you must set the time zone.

• Select your time zone from the list

It can be changed at a later time (see page 58)

• Press the Confirmation icon

Safety Warning Message

Next, a screen that displays a safety warning will be shown.

• Please read the safety precautions

• You may select Hide at start-up to hide this warning

for future start-ups if you wish

• Press the forward arrow

GPS connection

Your device uses Global Positioning System (GPS) technology for navigation. The device receives signals from a variable number of GPS satellites in order to determine your current position.

• Following the instructions provided in the hardware

section of this manual, place your PND in a location with an unobstructed view of the sky to set up your first satellite connection. In a car this will usually be on the dashboard.

It may take up to 5 minutes to establish the first connection. Subsequent connections will be faster (30 seconds to 1 minute), but if you have not used the unit for several days or are very far away from the last location where you used it, it may again take up to 5 minutes to find a strong signal.

Main elements

Main menu

The main menu is your central point of access to all functions of your Personal Navigation Device. It allows you to find and set your destination, manage your favorites and control all settings of your device. On the left-hand panel there are three large buttons. Click on one of the buttons to enable a set of sub-options, which will be shown on the right hand side of the screen:

• Destination lets you choose your destination – either

by searching for an address (see page 43), choosing an entry from the POI directory or a city guide (see page 46), selecting a location from the map (see page

49) or a recently visited location (see page 51).

• Favorites allows you to manage your favorites (like

bookmarks, recently visited locations, trips). You can rename, sort or delete them.

• Use Settings to configure your Personal Navigation

Device to suit your needs. Define general settings

(e.g., time, language, system of measurement, see page 57), configure your map (e.g., 2D or 3D mode, day or night mode) or load a map of a different region (see page 58), set the route options (e.g., choose to avoid or allow toll roads or ferries or select your mode of transportation; see page 57) or adjust the volume (see page 62).

Frequently asked questions

I can’t find an address.

Please make sure you have correctly spelled your entry. If you do not know how an address is spelled, simply enter the parts of the address about which you are certain – e.g. “Brook” for Brooklyn in New York. Then browse the results list and look for the address. Also make sure that the city in which you are looking for an address is correct. Sometimes the official postal address differs from the address you are looking for. In that case, search for a known address nearby and browse the map.

I am experiencing problems getting GPS fix.

If you have problems getting a satellite fix with GPS (you can see how many satellites are being received on the main menu at the bottom left), please make sure you are outside and the GPS antenna has good ‘visibility’ to the open sky.

Where can I get technical support?
