Safety information
!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 navigational system 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 with and
damage to health and property is avoided. Dispose of defective units and the rechargeable battery according to the
applicable legal requirements.

The Traffic Assist
Use
The Traffic Assist is a powerful PND
(Personal Navigation Device) for use in
vehicles and closed spaces. The unit
should be protected from dampness and
dirt.
Navigation
Thanks to GPS = Global Positioning Sys-
tem, you no longer need to spend hours
searching through road atlases.
Once outside buildings, the receiver an-
tenna integrated in the unit gives you con-
tinuous access to navigational possibili-
ties. Depending on reception, you may
not be able to use the navigational func-
tion inside buildings. When used in vehi-
cles, you may not be able to adequately re-
ceive GPS data depending on how the
Traffic Assist 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 is equipped with
TMC*, which gives you the option of re-
ceiving traffic announcements via the
TMC antenna provided. Traffic an-
nouncements are transmitted when the
TMC is active. The system plans an alter-
native route automatically or on request to
avoid traffic problems, depending on the
setting.
Unpacking the Traffic Assist
Checking the delivery
Before the Traffic Assist is started up, the
delivery should be checked to ensure that
it is complete and in the correct condition
(see also page 12).
>Carefully unpack the content of the
package and check it.
Note:
Your Traffic Assist is supplied in stable
packaging. Do not unpack the unit in full
if you discover any serious damage to the
packaging or its content. If this happens,
please contact your local stockist.
*Applies only to the Traffic Assist Z 099

Traffic Assist - basic unit
The basic unit contains all the electronics:
• an integrated antenna,
• a TMC receiver for the reception of
traffic messages*,
• a touchscreen,
• An integrated loudspeaker for the out-
put of messages during navigation.
On the side of the unit, there are also var-
ious connections and ports.
You will find more details of the unit
under:
• See “Technical Data” on page 79.
Cable for power supply from
cigarette lighter
This cable allows the unit to be connected
up to the car's cigarette lighter.
The power supply must satisfy the follow-
ing requirements:
• DC current 12/24 volts
0.5 amps
Battery
When depleted, the integrated rechargea-
ble battery can be recharged by connect-
ing the Traffic Assist to the power supply.
For this purpose, connect the unit via a car
power adapter to a 12/24 V socket in a ve-
hicle or via the optional mains power sup-
ply unit to the 230 V mains.
USB connection cable
You can connect the unit to a standard
personal computer having a USB interface
using a USB connecting cable. The 2GB
flash memory of the Traffic Assist can
then be addressed via the PC like a remov-
able storage medium.
Unit bracket
The Traffic Assist can be mounted in the
vehicle using the unit bracket.
Note:
You can charge the Traffic Assist via the
car charger cable included in the scope of
delivery or via the optionally-available
mains power supply unit.

PC, it is supplied with power via the PC
and does not consume battery power.
