24-month warranty (battery: 6 months)
for BECKER units, beginning on the day

Within the framework of the warranty,
functional defects will be eliminated
free-of-charge, provided that these can
be shown to be the result of material or
manufacturing faults and this shall be ef-
fected either by elimination of the fault or
by provision of a new unit, at the discre-

claims must be registered by the buyer
immediately after defects are discovered
and must be accompanied by the initial
buyer’s purchase contract.
The warranty expires after 24 months
(battery: 6 months); neither warranty
claims nor fulfilment shall effect an ex-
tension of the warranty period.

charge or mechanical damage are exclud-
ed from the warranty.
The warranty is invalidated in the case of
repairs or tampering on the part of the
buyer or unauthorised third parties.
Repairs may only be performed by per-
sons and service centres expressly au-
thorised by the manufacturer or by the
manufacturer himself.
This warranty does not affect or
restrict the legal warranty rights of

General operation
Maintenance and care
The unit is maintenance-free.
For proper care, a commercially
available cleansing fluid for electrical
devices may be applied using a soft
damp cloth.
Your mobile navigation system was
designed and manufactured with great
care and should be treated with equal
care. You will enjoy your mobile naviga-
tion system for a long time to come if you
observe the recommendations listed in
the following:
• Protect your mobile navigation unit
and the accessories from water and
moisture. If your unit has been
exposed to moisture, switch it off
immediately and disconnect the power
supply. Allow to dry at room
temperature.
• Do not operate your mobile navigation
system in a dusty or dirty environment
and do not store it in such an
environment.
• Do not store your mobile navigation
system in hot environments. High
temperatures can shorten the service
life of electronic components in your
unit, damage the rechargeable
batteries and cause certain plastics to
warp or melt.
• Do not store your mobile navigation
system in cold environments. During
operation, when the unit warms up to
operating temperature, moisture may
form internally, causing damage to
electronic components.
• Do not drop your mobile navigation
system unit, protect it from shocks and
do not shake it. Improper handling can
damage components within the unit.
• Never use corrosive or aggressive
chemicals, cleaning solutions or
aggressive detergents for cleaning.
All the above information applies equally
to the mobile navigation system, the
rechargeable battery, the mains charg-
ing and car power adapters as well as all
accessories. Should one of these parts
not work properly, please contact your
authorised dealer.
¤Danger!
Danger to life by electrocution.
Always switch off the unit and
disconnect the mains power supply
unit before cleaning the unit, supplied
components, or accessories.
Note:
Do not use any aggressive or abrasive
substances or cloths which may
damage the surface.
The unit must not be exposed to water.

Battery quality declaration
The capacity of the rechargeable battery
in your mobile navigation system
decreases with every charging/
discharging cycle. Improper storage at
excessively high or low temperatures
may also cause a gradual deterioration
of capacity. Consequently, the operating
time may be substantially reduced even
in the case of a fully charged battery.
Display quality declaration
In some cases, for technical reasons, a
few discoloured dots (pixels) may be
visible on the display. Some pixels may
also appear brighter or darker. However,
such instances do not represent a
product flaw.
Start-up
Once the Navigation device has been
unpacked and checked for damage, the
unit can be started up. The individual
start-up steps are:
• connect to power supply.
•switchingontheunit.
• ensuring antenna reception (if
navigation is desired)
Power supply
Note:
You can charge the Navigation device
via the car charger cable included in the
scope of delivery or via the optionally
available mains power supply unit.
When the Navigation device is connect-
ed to a PC, it is supplied with power via
the PC and does not consume battery
power.

19
GENERAL OPERATION >>>
> D
> GB
> F
> I
> PL
Using the battery
The internal power supply is via the
integrated rechargeable battery. The
rechargeable battery is maintenance-
free and does not require any particular
care.
Connection for the cigarette lighter
Connect the power supply via the vehicle
battery and the cable provided for the
cigarette lighter as follows:
>Grasp the connector of the connection
cable and insert it gently without force
into the connector socket of the
navigation device up to the stop, or in
the case of a device with an active
cradle, on the underside of the
supporting plate.
>Insert the adapter into the cigarette
lighter.
Note:
Note that if the battery is completely
discharged, it may take up to a minute
before the device can be switched on
again.
Note:
In the event of a defective battery,
please contact your authorised dealer.
Please do not attempt to remove the
battery yourself.
Note:
If the cigarette lighter has recently been
used and is still hot, wait until the lighter
socket has cooled down.
Note:
When the engine is switched off, the
power supply slowly discharges the
vehicle battery via the cigarette lighter!
Do not therefore operate the Navigation
device for long periods with the engine
switched off.
To receive TMC messages (depending
on the model), the power supply must
be connected to the supporting plate in
the case of a device with an active
cradle.

into the socket.
TMC antenna (depending on the
model)
The supplied TMC antenna is integrated
into the cable for power supply.
The TMC antenna runs in parallel with
the the cigarette lighter cable in the
delivered condition.
If the TMC reception is poor, you must
remove the cable of the TMC antenna
from the cable for the cigarette lighter.
You can then use the supplied suction
cup to attach the TMC antenna to the
windshield.
GPS antenna
Unit antenna
The GPS antenna is integrated into the
housing.
¤Danger!
Make sure that your hands are not wet
and that the power supply unit is dry.
Only connect the power supply unit to
a permissible mains power supply.
Note:
Remove the power supply unit when
not using the Navigation device for
longer periods of time.
Note:
The TMC antenna must be installed in
such a way that it does not distract you
while driving.
Note:
The integrated GPS antenna is not
suitable for use in vehicles with anti-
glare windows (metalised thermo-
glass or metal foil, indicated by the
window label - SIGLA SOL, SIGLA
CHROM, SIGLA, KOOL-OF, SUNGATE,
etc.) and vehicles with fine-meshed
heating wires in the windows.
