Power Supply
Do not install the car mount (with or without the navigation device)
within the operating area of the vehicle’s airbag and install the car
mount so that the driver’s view is not obstructed..
Always make sure that:
there is free circulation of air (do not place the device on shelves, on a
thick carpet, on a bed, or anywhere that obstructs the ventilation slots, and
leave at least 10 cm clearance on all sides;
no direct heat sources (e.g. heating) can affect the device;
no direct sunlight or bright artificial light reaches the device. When
installing the device in a vehicle, make sure that it doesn’t become
overheated;
contact with sprayed and dripping water and abrasive liquids must be
avoided and the device should never be operated near water. It must
especially never be immersed (do not place any recipients containing
liquids such as beverages, vases, etc. onto or next to the device);
the device is never placed in the immediate vicinity of magnetic fields (e.g.
loudspeakers);
no fire sources (e.g. burning candles) are placed on or near the device;
no foreign bodies are introduced into the device;
the device is not subject to any great temperature changes as this may
cause moisture through condensation and short-circuit;
the device is not subject to excessive shocks and vibrations.

Introduction
Upon delivery the device has several maps already installed. If necessary, you
can install more maps from the supplied DVD.
The internal memory of the device is limited. Therefore it is not
possible to install all country maps. To install more maps, first you
will need to remove some existing maps. You can do this with the
supplied software (see the description starting from page 103).
When launching the device for the first time may it take a few minutes for
initialising. As soon as enough satellites have been found the
SiRFInstantFixII™ technology will start working (see also page 32). The next
time you power the device on, it will be ready much faster.
When launching the device for the first time will it take a few seconds for
initialising. As soon as this process is completed, the map with your current
position will be displayed.
In the case that no GPS signal is received (e.g. when you have
powered the device on inside a building) no position can be
tracked.
Please read the following pages to learn about the GPS technology and about
general operation for navigation purposes. A quick guide for programming your
first route can be found on page 35.

Introduction
Navigation Device PNA-E3540N 31
GPS Connection
3. GPS
3.1 GPS Connection
This navigation device uses the Global Positioning System (GPS). It receives
the signals sent from multiple GPS satellites and processes them to determine
the position on a digitised map.
Navigation
The navigation device displays detailed information about the reception quality
and the current position (see page 98).
For GPS tracking a free sight to the sky is required. Navigation
does not work inside a building or in a tunnel. A dense forest can
also reduce the GPS signal strength.
3.1.1 SiRFInstantFixIITM
This new technology enables the use of your navigation device without any
delays.
In order to track the GPS position properly, the reception of at least four GPS
satellite signals is required. However, the satellites are located on an MEO
orbit and their position changes continuously. In order to be able to locate the
satellite, the navigation device must have a satellite almanac. Regular devices
will download the almanac from the firsts satellite found after powering on.
Therefore the availability of the device for navigation can be delayed for
several minutes.
TM
By using the latest SiRFInstant FixII
technology your navigation device is
able to track the current position from the last known GPS information.
Therefore the almanac has to be loaded only once upon first-time setup.

POI - Points of Interest
3.8 POI - Points of Interest
POI stands for Points of interest and consists of a database containing
information about useful destinations for the users of navigation systems.
These can be restaurants, major tourist attractions and hotels, but also
destinations for use everyday such as petrol stations, car parks, pharmacies or
ATM.

All POIs are grouped by category and can be displayed along a programmed
route or near destinations. It is also possible to output a POI notification, so the
system notifies you when approaching a POI of the selected category.

custom or default categories. You can access all POIs from each menu
allowing you to define a route. You may also search for POIs in map view at
