REMOVING THE BATTERY
INITIALIZING THE DEVICE
When you start using the device for the first time, you should
charge the battery first. Please note that the battery will reach
its full capacity only after two or three charging times.
POWER SUPPLY
•Mains charger CMA-70-230 (with the cable FMC-70)
•Cigarrette lighter charger CCS-71-12
•Standard Li-Ion batteries 650 mAh (BBL77S), 900 mAh
(BBL77N), 1200 mAh (BBL77P), 1700 mAh (BBL77G).
The battery type may vary depending on the market area and
sales package. In unclear cases, check the battery compatibility
with the dealer.
MAINS CHARGER
The mains charger should only be used indoors. Make sure that
the voltage in the country which you are staying corresponds to
the voltage (230 V) of the charger.
When charging, connect the round end of the charger cable into
the charger base and lock it by turning it half a turn clockwise.
Plug the square end of the cable (with the arrow facing up) into
the system connector on the device. Plug the charger into a
mains outlet. Charging will start automatically.
CHARGING
The device controls the charging status, the battery temperature
and power supply during the charging operation.
The ideal temperature range for charging is +10°...+30°C. If
charging the battery above or below these temperatures the life
of a battery may be shortened. Also, the battery may not reach
full capacity.
When charging the Li-Ion batteries with the quick charger, about
70% of the battery capacity will be charged quickly, but charging
the remaining 30% takes relatively more time. Also note that hu-
midity, temperature, age of the battery and currently used fea-
tures (e.g. the GPS) affect the time spent on charging.
BATTERY CARE, MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL
The continuous operating time is less when using an old battery
than when using a new battery. When storing batteries for a long
time, the batteries should be kept cool and fully charged in a dry
place. Proper care and storage guarantee best possible battery
capacity and maximum battery life.
Li-Ion batteries do not contain heavy metals which can damage
the environment. Li-Ion batteries should be disposed of accord-
ing to the country-specific regulations.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS IN USAGE
SIGHT
The device must have an unobstructed view to satellites at any
time. In marginal conditions an external GPS antenna, possibly
even a GSM antenna, must be installed.
The device can be used like a standard GSM phone. In some cas-
es, the device can be built in clothes or special vests. If the device
is mounted somehow, it must be attached to the surface so that
the back of the device is facing up. To ensure proper functioning
of the GPS, the GPS antenna can be covered with plastic, fiber
glass or clothes, but not with metal.
TEMPERATURE RANGES
•Usage: -20 to +55 °C with a standard Li-Ion battery
•Charging: Standard Li-Ion battery must not be charged below
°0. Likewise, charging above +55 °C is prevented.
At temperatures below -25 °C, or above +60 °C, the battery will
not supply power and the device cannot be used. Upon warming
up/cooling down, the device will function properly again.

SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
TELEMATICS PROTOCOL
MPTP (Mobile Phone Telematic Protocol) allows, among other things,
tracking of the device over the SMS communication.
Automatically sent telematics messages are only allowed to authorised
numbers configured in the device. Such numbers can be, e.g. emergency
and service center numbers. Position of the device is retrieved by the
GPS, or by the network parameters - the latter is a network-dependent
service.
The carrier for telematics messages is an SMS-message. Deliveries of all
messages is fully handled by and in the responsibility of the GSM network
operator and services can vary substantially. The charge of a protocol
message is determined on the contract by the service provider.
GPS
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the government of
the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and main-
tenance. The system is subject to changes that could affect the accuracy
and performance of all GPS equipment.
EMERGENCY CALLS
The device is an aid and should never be relied upon as an only emer-
gency device. Its functionality is dependent on GSM network and GPS
satellites which may not be available all the time.
To make emergency calls, the device must be turned on and located in
an area with adequate GSM network signal strength. Making BeneGuard
emergency call also requires GPS satellite coverage and a valid SIM-
card.
Emergency calls may not be possible on all GSM phone networks or
when certain network services or phone features are in use. In unclear
cases, consult the network operator.
GENERAL
•Traffic:Strictly adhere to all eventual European and national legislation
and also honour other eventual safety recommendations when using
the device while driving a vehicle. Place the device in its holder, do not
leave it on the passenger seat or some other place where it can break
loose in a collision or a sudden stop. When receiving a call in an awk-
ward driving situation, you must always put safety before other priorities
and courtesy. If you feel uncomfortable about using a device while dri-
ving, you should not use it.
•Vehicles with air bags: An air bag inflates with great force. Do not
place objects, including either installed or portable wireless devices, in
the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area.
•External alert:The use of the alert device to operate a vehicle´s lights
or horn on public roads is not permitted.
•Children:Keep the device and its accessories away from small
children to avoid causing injury to themselves or others. Damage to the
device or its accessories is also thus avoided.
•Power supply:This equipment is intended for use with the specified
power supplies listed in the Quick Guide/Operating Instructions.
Any other usage will invalidate any approval given to this apparatus and
may be dangerous.
•Other accessories:Any other accessories used should also be appro-
ved by the device manufacturer. Check the compatibility of new power
supply units and other accessories at the dealer or manufacturer.
•Connections: All installations, connections and service regarding the
device, its power supply and accessories should be approved by the
device manufacturer. Use of any unauthorized accessories, modifica-
tions or attachments may be dangerous and voids the device warranty if
said accessories cause damage or a defect to the device.
•Magnetic fields: The device contains small magnetic components.
Even though the magnetic fields of the components are weak, they

•Posted facilities and country-specific regulations: Power off the
device in any facility where posted notices so require. Also follow all the
country-specific regulations applicable to where the device is used.
•Potentially explosive atmospheres:Turn off the device at refuelling
points, e.g. gas stations. Also observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations
are in progress because remote control RF devices are often used to
set off explosives. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or
explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts or
accessories.
•Other electronical equipment:Using the device may cause interfe-
rence with a vehicle's electronic equipment if it is not adequately shiel-
ded. Consult the manufacturer or the vehicle seller to determine the
proper shielding.
