Warnings and Safety Information
The ADV800XM is a navigation system with integral XM®Radio that helps you find your way to your
selected destination. It will determine your exact location with the help of an internal GPS device. The
position information obtained from the GPS receiver will not be transmitted anywhere, so others will not be
able to track you.
If you are the driver of the vehicle, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the operation of the
ADV800XM before beginning your journey. The driver’s attention should be on the road. Plan your route
before departure and pull over if you need to change route parameters. Navigation with XM®Ready has a
built-in (optional) Safety Mode that will prevent you from using the screen functions if your car is in motion.
Unless a passenger will be the only one to operate, we strongly encourage you to turn on the Safety
Mode.
It is also important that you look at the display only if it is absolutely safe to do so.
You should always observe traffic signs and road geometry before you obey any instruction from the
ADV800XM. If you need to deviate from the recommended direction, the unit will suggest a modified route
according to the new situation.
Never place the ADV800XM where it can obstruct the view of the driver, is within the deployment zone of
airbags, or where it can cause injuries in case of an accident. General information
Navigation with XM®Ready is a navigation system optimized for in-car use. It provides door-to-door
navigation for both single and multi-point routes using adaptable route parameters. Navigation with XM®
Ready is capable of planning routes throughout the whole map region installed on the memory card.
Unlike some other products, the ADV800XM does not require that you change maps or switch to a poorly
detailed general map to navigate between map segments or countries. You always have complete
freedom to go wherever you wish. Just insert the memory card and go.
You do not need a stylus to use the ADV800XM. All screen buttons and controls are designed so that you
can operate them with your fingertips.
When using Navigation with XM®Ready, you do not need to ‘double tap’ or ‘tap & hold’ the touch screen
as these functions cannot be used reliably in a moving vehicle. A single tap triggers most of the screen
controls. The only exceptions are ‘drag & drop’ for moving the map, or scaling it in Map mode.
Most of the screens have a Return button ( ) in the top left corner. This arrow returns to the previous
screen or directly to one of the map screens.
NOTICE TO DRIVERS IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA:
State law prohibits drivers in California and Minnesota from using suction mounts on their windshields
while operating motor vehicles. Other Audiovox dashboard mounting options should be used. Audiovox
does not take any responsibility for any fines, penalties, or damages that may be incurred as a result of
disregarding this notice. (See California Vehicle Code Section 26708(a); Minnesota Statutes 2005,
Section 169.71)

Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Navigation with XM®Ready unit, Model ADV800XM, as your door-to-door in-
car navigator complete with integral XM®Radio capability. In addition, the ADV800XM exhibits other
features, such as Back-Up Camera input using an appropriate cradle and interconnect cable, and Music
input from an external source such as an SD card. This document is a detailed description of the software.
Although Navigation with XM®Ready operation can be obtained easily by user experience, it is still
recommended that you read through this manual to clearly understand the exact function of each button
and icon.

2. Operating Navigation with XM ® Ready
Navigation with XM®Ready is designed for easy operation. Consistent with these criteria, a minimum of
hardware buttons is used on the ADV800XM; these consist of the Home button, Power On/Off slide switch
and the Volume control. The remaining controls are operated by touching the LCD screen to access
submenus pertaining to the various operating modes and their submenus and lists.
3. Getting Started
To initialize ADV800XM operation, proceed as follows:
a. Connect the adapter power cord to a power source (home, car adapter); then plug the adapter
DC power connector into the DC connector on the right side of the unit.
b. If the XM®receiver is to be used, connect the XM antenna cable to the XM ANT connector on
the rear left side of the unit.
c. Adjust the tilt, angle and horizontal position of the unit to suit your personal preference.
Note: If the unit is being turned on for the first time, or after a prolonged period of not being
used, perform step d; otherwise, perform step e.
d. On the bottom of the unit, on the right side, position the power On/Off slide switch to the On
position to initially turn on the unit; the ADVENT logo appears on the screen for about 10
seconds, after which the operational modes default display appears.
