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.

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 de-
signed and manufactured with great care
andshouldbetreatedwith equalcare. You
will enjoy your mobile navigation system
for a long time to come if you observe the
recommendations listed in the following:
• "Protectyour mobilenavigationsystem
fromwater andmoisture. Ifyourunitis
exposed to moisture, switch it off im-
mediately 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 tem-
peratures 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
forminternally,causingdamagetoelec-
tronic 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 chem-
icals, cleaning solutions or aggressive
detergents for cleaning.
All the above information applies equally
to the mobile navigation system, the re-
chargeable battery, the mains charging
and car power adapters as well as all acces-
sories. 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 clean-
ing 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
Thecapacityoftherechargeablebatteryin
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.
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 mobile navi-
gation system. In the event of a significant
loss of capacity, we recommend replace-
ment of the rechargeable battery. Please
contact your authorised dealer. Use only
genuine BECKER original spare parts.
Display quality declaration
In some cases, for technical reasons, a few
discoloureddots(pixels)maybevisibleon
the display. Some pixels may also appear
brighter or darker. However, such in-
stances do not represent a product flaw.
