Safety instructions
!Safety instructions
• Operation of the unit is permitted only if traffic conditions are suitable and you are absolutely sure that you, your
passengers or other motorists are not endangered, obstructed or inconvenienced.
In all cases, all applicable road traffic regulations must be obeyed. Destinations may only be entered when the vehicle is
stationary.
• The navigation system is only an aid. Errors may occur in individual data items/entries. At all times, the driver must decide
whether or not to heed the information provided. We do not accept liability for erroneous data provided by the navigation
system. Due to continual changes in traffic routing or deviations in the data, it may occur that imprecise or erroneous
information is given. Therefore, actual road signs and traffic regulations must always be observed. In particular, the
navigation system cannot be used as an orientation aid at times of poor visibility.
• The unit must only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the navigation unit should be adjusted so that external
noise is still clearly audible.
• Remove the unit immediately if a fault occurs (e.g. emission of smoke or odours).
• In the interest of safety, the unit must only be opened by a specialist. Please refer to your dealer for repair.
• Never open the unit (with the exception of the battery compartment) or the rechargeable battery. Any modification to the
unit is also impermissible and renders the type approval invalid.
• Use only genuine Harman original accessories. This will ensure that all the relevant regulations are complied with and
damage to health and property is avoided. Dispose of defective units and the rechargeable battery according to the
applicable legal requirements.
• No warranty is granted in the case of improper use. These safety instructions also apply to genuine Harman original
accessories.

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 unit was designed and manufactured
with great care and should be treated with
equal care. You will enjoy your unit for a
long time to come if you observe the rec-
ommendations listed below:
• Protect your 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 store and operate your unit in a
dusty or dirty environment.
• Do not store your unit in hot environ-
ments. 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 unit in cold environ-
ments. During operation, when the
unit warms up to operating tempera-
ture, moisture may form internally,
causing damage to electronic compo-
nents.
• Do not drop your unit, protect it from
shocks and do not shake it. Improper
handling can damage components
within the unit.
• Never use corrosive or aggressive chem-
icals, cleaning solutions or aggressive
detergents for cleaning.
All the above information applies equally
to the unit, the rechargeable battery and
all accessories. Should one of these parts
not work properly, please contact your au-
thorised dealer.
!Danger!
Danger to life by electrocution.
Always switch off the unit and discon-
nect 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 Becker® MAP PILOT 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.
The rechargeable battery is designed such
that it should certainly still be possible for
it to be charged and discharged after
6 months of operation of your unit.
Commissioning
Once the Becker® MAP PILOT has been
unpacked and checked to ensure it is free
of damage, the unit can be started up.
The battery is already deployed. To avoid
a premature discharge, is the contact to
the device interrupted by a slide. Remove
this slide from the device.
>Press the battery cover on the underside
of the unit lightly and push the bat-
tery cover in the direction of the arrow.
>Lift the battery by the tab .
>Remove the slide from the device.
Insert the Becker® MAP PILOT as de-
scribed under “Unit holder” on page 10.
