PN 4000/6000

For your safety

Before you start to install and use this navigation system, please familiarise yourself with its
various components and functions. Furthermore, please read through the safety instructions
carefully to avoid causing injury to yourself and/or other road users.

Do not subject the navigation system to high temperatures or extreme exposure to
sunlight. Temperatures over 50 °C can severely damage the navigation system, espe­cially the lithium ion battery. The lithium ion battery can only be charged within a
temperature range of 0-45 °C. Please note the safety instructions when operating the
battery!

The device is not splashproof and must therefore not be exposed to moisture, as this
may result in damage.

GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based system that supports geographical
and time-related information all around the world. The system is operated and con­trolled by the United States of America. The USA is also responsible for the availability
and accuracy of this system. All changes to the GPS availability and accuracy, as well as
other factors from the surrounding environment can influence the operation of the
navigation system. The supplier of this system does not accept any liability whatsoever
for the availability and accuracy of GPS data.

Getting started

Before you can switch on the navigation system
for the first time, you must insert the battery.
This is done by performing the following steps:

• Open the battery compartment.

• Push the battery into the battery compart­ment with the connection contacts facing
downwards. You can now close the battery
compartment.

• Connect the navigation system to the 12 V
power supply in your vehicle. The battery
will now start to charge. It takes approx.
8 hours to fully charge the battery.
The battery life without an external power
source for the PN 4000 is approx. 5 hours for
navigation and approx. 2 hours for DVB-T
use (PN 6000: approx. 6 hours for navigation
and approx. 4 hours for DVB-T). In addition,
the battery life depends on the display
brightness you have set.

• Insert the supplied SD card containing the maps into the SD card slot.

The battery must only be charged whilst someone is monitoring it. Do not open the
battery with force as this may release corrosive acids. Damaged batteries or batteries
that are past their expiry date should no longer be used and should be disposed of in
a safe and suitable way.

11

Installation

• Before attaching the cradle to the front windscreen, you should clean the area on the
windscreen to remove grease and dust.

• Differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures and/or humidity and mois­ture can break the vacuum seal under the suction cup of the cradle. You should therefore
attach the navigation system so that it will not be damaged if it falls off the windscreen.
As a precautionary measure, you should detach the navigation system at night.

• Please do not use any cleaning agents or detergents to clean the screen and case of the
device. The best method is to use a soft, damp cloth.

The device must not be attached in a way that obscures the view. Nor should the
device be attached within the area in which the airbags open or within reach of the
head or knees in the event of a collision.

Secure the device so that it will not slide around in the event of emergency braking or
a collision.

12

To install the device in the vehicle, proceed as follows:

• Find a suitable place in the vehicle for attaching
the cradle. The screen should be clearly visible from
the driver's seat but the device should not obscure
the driver's view.

• Press the suction cup against the glass (with a clear
view of the sky) and move the pressure lever to­wards the glass until it locks in place.

• Attach the navigation system to the cradle.

Detaching: To detach the device, move the
pressure lever to the opposite direction and
carefully pull the transparent rubber end of the
suction cup to remove it from the windscreen.

For safety reasons you should install the device and enter the required information in
the system before you start your journey or when your vehicle is stationary.

The use of the navigation system does not under any circumstances release the driver
from their personal responsibility. The applicable road traffic regulations and current
traffic conditions always have priority. The information provided by the device is for
orientation purposes only and is not binding.

Always check the information provided by the device (speed, remaining travelling
time, distance, recommended route).

Only look at the screen when it is safe to do so. If you need to look at the screen for a
longer period of time, stop the vehicle at an appropriate and safe place.

The touchscreen must not be operated with sharp or rough-edged objects as these can
damage it.

If you leave the vehicle for long periods you should take the navigation system with
you to avoid theft.

PN 4000/6000

When you switch on the device for the first time, it can take several minutes for the GPS
reception to reach a sufficient level and to determine your current position.

Always hold the navigation system vertically.

If you are using the navigation system in an inner-city area, it may take longer to
refresh the map details.

Multimedia/DVB-T

You can use your PN 4000/6000 to receive television programmes via DVB-T (Digital Video
Broadcasting Terrestrial).

There might not be as many channels available as there are on your home set, and the
DVB-T standard is not available in all countries. The reception quality also depends on
a number of factors, e.g.:

• The number of transmitters, their distance and their power

• The speed and direction in which your vehicle is moving.
Other factors that might impair reception quality include:

• Multipath reception when operated as the vehicle is moving, e.g. through built­up areas

• Weak signal when overshadowed by other vehicles, travelling through under­passes, etc.

PN 4000/6000

For DVB-T reception, connect both the DVB-T antennae included in the scope of deliv­ery to the PN 4000/6000. Open the rubber cover on the top right of the back and plug
in the antenna cables. The two antennae must be positioned at least 50 cm apart to
enable reception.

DVB-T picture reception switches off at speeds greater than 7 km/h unless the VDO
Dayton back seat cradle is used. DVB-T sound reception and navigational information
continue to be available.

To switch on the television, tap the DVBT button in the Multimedia menu.

The television screen will be displayed
