General advice
Safety advice and important information
Before you start to install and use this navigation system, please familiarise yourself with its
various components and functions. Please also read through the safety instructions carefully
to avoid personal injury to yourself and others.
Do not expose the navigation system to high temperatures or extreme 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.
When fixing the screen onto its mount in your vehicle, please note the following: Never adjust the screen by moving the navigation system itself; instead you should adjust
the mount. Position the screen so that you are able to glance at the display quickly and
easily. The device should also be positioned in a way that prevents reflections and
glare from the screen. The screen should not be positioned so that it obstructs your
view of things that are necessary for driving the vehicle (e.g. the view of the road or
the vehicle's instruments) or the safety systems in your vehicle.
The navigation system does not take the relative safety of the suggested routes into
consideration. Road closures, roadworks, height and weight restrictions, traffic and
weather conditions or other factors that can influence the safety and the journey time
of the route are not taken into consideration for the suggested routes. Use your own
judgement to check the suitability of the suggested routes. If required, use the
“Change Route” function to calculate alternatives to the original route. Alternatively
take the road you prefer and the software will automatically perform a re-routing
(i.e. calculate a new route based on your new position).
In certain areas, one-way streets, turning restrictions and no entry signs (e.g. pedestrian zones) cannot be accounted for. In such situations, pay particular attention to road
signs and applicable road traffic regulations.
If you need the help of the emergency services (police, fire, ambulance, etc.), do not
rely exclusively on the navigation system. Act at your own discretion and possibilities
in order to find help in such situations.
Please ensure that every person intending to use the navigation system reads this safety information and the recommendations for operating the system beforehand.

Setup and installation
Getting started
Before you can switch on the navigation
system for the first time, you must insert
the battery. This is carried out with the following steps:
• Open the battery compartment.
• Push the battery into the battery compartment with the 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 external power
supply is approx. 5 hours for navigation
and approx. 2 hours for DVB-T with the
PN 4000 (approx. 6 hours for navigation
and approx. 4 hours for DVB-T with the
PN 6000). The battery life also depends
on the display brightness you have selected.
• Insert the supplied SD card containing
the maps into the SD card slot.
With an active cradle you can use the
car battery/keyswitch connection in combination with the optional car connectivity
cable. The navigation device will automatically switch on or off by turning the car key
in the ignition. Once the navigation device is inserted in the active cradle and the
ignition is switched on, the battery is automatically charged.
When using a passive cradle:
• You must turn the device on and off using the power button.
• You can charge the battery by using the cigarette lighter cable
The battery must only be charged if someone is monitoring the device. Do not open
the battery by force as this may release corrosive acid. Damaged batteries or batteries
that are past their expiry date must no longer be used and should be disposed of in a
safe and suitable way.
Setup and installation
63
Installation
• Before attaching the cradle to the windscreen, clean the relevant windscreen area as
well as the cradle's suction pad, and ensure they are free from grease and dust.
• Differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures and/or humidity and moisture may cause the vacuum under the suction cup to disintegrate. Therefore you should
attach the navigation system so that it will not sustain damage 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 position 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.
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 (with a clear view of the sky) but
the device should not obscure the driver's view.
• Press the suction cup against the windscreen and
push the lever towards the windscreen until it locks
into place.
• Attach the navigation system to the cradle.
Dismounting: To detach the device, move the
lever in the opposite direction and carefully pull
the transparent rubber end of the suction cup to
remove it from the window.
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 his/her 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.
Furthermore, if you plan to leave the vehicle unattended for a long period of time, you
should remove the navigation system from the vehicle in order to avoid theft.
