Installation of the microphone
The microphone should be placed in the vehicle to allow optimal recognition of the speaker’s voice. Possible positions in
the vehicle for the microphone can be seen in the following diagram.
GPS reception can be affected by screens with screen antenna, windscreen heating or thermally insulated screens.
Some thermally insulated screens are coated with titanium or silver oxide. Installation of the GPS antenna in the
vehicle interior can considerably impair the function of the navigation system.
The installation position should be as far away from the loudspeakers as possible. If problems occur, different positions
should be tested. In order to pick up as little background noise as possible, the microphone has a narrow pick-up angle
and must consequently be directed towards the driver.
A: Optimal installation position
B: Alternative installation position
C: Speaking direction on microphone
D: Adhesive strip for affixing to smooth surfaces
E: Screw for fastening the screw-on plate
F: Screw-on plate for affixing to rough or uneven surfaces.

Commissioning and calibration
• For commissioning and calibration, you must switch on the vehicle
ignition. Switch on the Traffic Pro and enter the code (see the
operation guide for a detailed description).
The vehicle must be parked outdoors, ensuring that it has a clear
view in all directions (not in the immediate vicinity of buildings).
•Press .
Navigation is activated.
• If the navigation CD has not yet been inserted, you will be
prompted to insert it.
• “German”, the Traffic Pro default language, is loaded.
Following loading, you can select a different language as described
in the operation guide.
• The adjacent display appears after the language installation.
You must now wait for sufficient GPS reception.
This procedure (first reception of the necessary GPS data) may
take a few minutes. The unit must remain switched on for the entire
duration of this procedure. The vehicle must not be moved. If, after
approximately 10 minutes, the unit has not switched to the next
display, the parked position (clear view in all directions as far as
possible) or the installation location of the GPS antenna must be
checked. You can also call up the GPS information and check
whether the values displayed there have changed (see the
description in GPS information - GPS function test on page 22).

Once sufficient GPS reception can be assured, the Traffic Pro
switches to the next display.
• You are prompted to take a calibration journey.
Carry out the calibration journey.
During the journey, the speed signal (GAL) is automatically
adapted to the vehicle-specific data and the gyro sensor is
automatically adapted to the installation position of the unit.
The distance to be covered depends on the type of vehicle and the
local conditions.
The basic requirement for a calibration journey is: driving
200 - 300 metres in a straight line, then turning by at least
60 degrees and then driving 200- 300 metres in a straight line
again, and turning again.
The direction you turn is of no significance. If these conditions
cannot be fulfilled due to the road or the fact that you do not
always have optimum GPS reception, this will not lead to a
poorer calibration, but will simply mean the time and distance
necessary for the calibration ride will be longer.

• The Navigation menu appears to indicate that calibration has been
completed successfully.
• For correct navigation on routes with time-dependent traffic
guidance, the time should be set correctly as described in the
operation guide under “Settings” in Navigation mode.
The navigation system is only ready for operation on completion
of the calibration journey. Final precision is only achieved after a
further journey.
