!Safety information
• The unit may only be operated if the traffic situation allows for this and if you are absolutely certain that you
yourself, your fellow passengers or other road users will not be put at risk, encumbered or disturbed by this.
• The rules of applicable road traffic acts must be observed at all times. Destinations may only be input when the
vehicle is stationary.
• The navigational system is only an aid. The data/details provided may in some cases be incorrect. The driver must
always decide whether to follow the details given or not. We accept no liability for the navigational system issuing
incorrect details. As a result of traffic routing changes and deviating data, inaccurate or incorrect instructions
may be given. Drivers should always pay attention to the actual road signs and traffic control. In particular, the
navigational system cannot be used as a means of orientation in cases of poor visibility.
• The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the Navigationsgerätes should be set so that
noises outside the vehicle can still be heard.
• The unit should be switched off immediately if faults occur (e.g. development of smoke or smells).
• For safety reasons, the unit may only be opened by a specialist. Please contact your local stockist if you require
repairs.

• The mains voltages (V) indicated on the mains charger, the car charger adapter and the unit must not be
exceeded. Failure to observe this can result in destruction of the unit and the charger as well as explosion of the
rechargeable battery.
• Never open the unit or the rechargeable battery. Any modification to the unit is also impermissible and renders
the type approval invalid.
• Use only genuine BECKER original accessories. This will ensure that all the relevant regulations are complied

The Traffic Assist Highspeed
Operating guide content
The two devices Traffic Assist High-
speed and Traffic Assist Highspeed II
are described in this operating guide. All
the descriptions, with the exception of
those marked with an asterisk (*), apply
to both devices.
The sections of the operating guide
marked with an asterisk (*) apply specif-
ically to the Traffic Assist Highspeed II.
Use
The Traffic Assist Highspeed is a po-
werful PND (Personal Navigation De-
vice) for use in vehicles and closed
spaces. The unit should be protected
from dampness and dirt.
The Traffic Assist Highspeed can be
used as:
• navigational unit
• MP3 (device for playing music)
• JPEG picture viewer
Navigation
Thanks to GPS = Global Positioning
System, you no longer need to spend
hours searching through road atlases.
Once outside buildings, the receiver an-
tenna integrated in the unit gives you
continuous access to navigational possi-
bilities. Depending on reception, you
may not be able to use the navigational
function inside buildings. When used in
vehicles, you may not be able to adequa-
tely receive GPS data depending on how
the Traffic Assist Highspeed is installed.
In such cases, you will have to connect
up an external antenna (does not fall
within the scope of supply).
The Traffic Assist Highspeed II is equip-
ped with TMC*, which gives you the op-
tion of receiving traffic announcements
via the TMC antenna provided. Traffic
announcements are transmitted when
the TMC is active. The system plans an
alternative route automatically or on re-
quest to avoid traffic problems, depen-
ding on the setting.

General operations
Maintenance and care
The unit is maintenance-free.
For proper care, a commercially availab-
le cleansing fluid for electrical devices
may be applied using a soft damp cloth.
Your mobile navigation system was de-
signed and manufactured with great care
and should be treated with equal care.
You will enjoy your mobile navigation
system for a long time to come if you ob-
serve the recommendations listed in the
following:
• "Protect your mobile navigation sys-
tem from water and moisture. If your
unit is exposed to moisture, switch it
off immediately and disconnect the
power supply. Allow the unit 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 environ-
ment.
• 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 batte-
ries 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 che-
micals, cleaning solutions or aggressi-
ve detergents for cleaning.
All the above information applies equal-
ly to the mobile navigation system, the
rechargeable battery, the mains charging
and car power adapters as well as all ac-
cessories. Should one of these parts not
work properly, please contact your au-
thorised dealer. He will be pleased to as-
sist.
Danger!
Danger to life by electrocution. Always
switch off the unit and disconnect the
mains power supply unit before clea-
ning 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.

General operations
Battery quality declaration
The capacity of the rechargeable battery
in your mobile navigation system decre-
ases with every charging/discharging
cycle. Improper storage at excessively
high or low temperatures may also cause
a gradual deterioration of capacity. Con-
sequently, 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 pos-
sible for it to be charged and discharged
after 6 months of operation of your mo-
bile navigation system. In the event of a
significant loss of capacity, we recom-
mend replacement of the rechargeable
battery. Please contact your authorised
dealer. Use only genuine BECKER ori-
ginal spare parts.
Display quality declaration
In some cases, for technical reasons, a
few discoloured dots (pixels) may be vi-
sible on the display. Some pixels may
also appear brighter or darker. However,
such instances do not represent a product
flaw.
Start-up
Once the Traffic Assist Highspeed has
been unpacked and checked for damage,
the unit can be started up. The individual
start-up stages are:
• insert memory card
• connect to power supply
• Switching on the unit
• Ensuring antenna reception (if navi-
gation is desired)
Memory card
The card supplied with the unit can hold
one set of roadmaps. If you intend to lis-
ten to music using the Traffic Assist
Highspeed or want to view images, you
must save these to a separate card (not
included).
Playback of music while an active navi-
gation is in progress is only possible if a
memory card with a higher storage capa-
city is used (available separately, for-
matted with the FAT 16 file system).
This can be used to store additional map
material as well as music tracks.
Note:
When the unit is switched on for the
first time, internal configuration takes
place. This takes several minutes. Do
not switch the unit off during this confi-
guration.
Notes:
A small slider is located on one side of
the card.
