The following instructions guide you step
by step through the initial setup of the
navigation system.
Firstly, remove the foil for protecting the
device during transportation from the
display.
Switch on the navigation system.
Set the battery switch (15) on the bottom
of the device to the ON position.
Attention: Always leave the battery switch
on the ON position, unless you want to
perform a new reinstallation. If the switch
is set to the OFF position, all data will be
lost and you will have to perform the initial
installation again.
The initial installation of the navigation
system is started automatically. The brand
logo appears and after a few seconds
your device displays the application
screen.
Date and time are set by means of the
Setting button (4) and the date/time
control button. Set the applicable time
zone, if available.
Attention: According to the charging
status of the installed battery it is
necessary for the device to be charged
before the initial setup can be performed.
Charging the Battery of the Navigation
System
Note: When charging the battery, please
ensure that the battery switch is set to
the ON position. During charging the
battery charge indicator lights red.
You have different possibilities to charge
the battery of your navigation system:
• By means of the AC adaptor.
• By means of the car charger.
• The battery charge indicator lights red
until the navigation system is fully
charged, then the battery indicator turns
green. Do not interrupt the charging
process before the battery is fully
charged, which will take a few hours.
• Note: You can use the navigation
system during the charging process,
but the power supply must not be
interrupted during initial setup.
• Leave the AC adaptor connected to
the navigation system until the battery
is fully charged.
• You can leave the AC adaptor
connected, which is very convenient
for continuous operation. Please note
that the AC adaptor also consumes
power even if it is not charging the
battery of the navigation system.
Slide the connector converter into the
guide on the right side of the AC adaptor.
Plug the AC adaptor (2) in an outlet that
is easily accessible.
Connect the cable of the AC adaptor (1)
to the AC adaptor port of the navigation
system.
Working with Memory Cards
Your navigation system supports SD
(Secure Digital) memory cards.
Inserting memory cards:
1.Carefully take the memory card out of
its packaging (if included). Make sure
not to touch or dirty the contacts.
2. Push the memory card carefully into
the card slot. The labelled side of the
memory card must point upwards. The
memory card should slightly lock in
place.
Removing Memory Cards
• Do not remove the memory card while
it is accessed. This could result in loss
of data.
1. To remove the card lightly press it into
the device the upper edge until it ejects.
2. Pull out the card without touching the
contacts.
3. Store the memory card in the packaging
or in another safe place.
• Memory cards are very fragile. Take
care not to dirty the contacts and not
to force the card.

Accessing Memory Cards
• Your device only supports memory
cards in the FAT16/32 file format. If you
insert a card formatted with a different
format (e.g. in cameras, MP3 players),
your navigation system may not
recognise it and will ask you to format
it again.
Warning: Formatting the memory card
irretrievably wipes out all data.
• Likewise you cannot just copy files to
the memory card. In some cases they
must be converted by the Microsoft
ActiveSync programme.
Data Exchange via Card Reader
You can transfer or synchronise data via
ActiveSync. Particularly, this is the correct
method if files to be transferred must be
converted into a system your navigation
system can read.
However, if you wish to copy large
quantities of data (e.g. navigation maps)
to the memory card, these can also be
stored directly to the memory card.
Many computers already have memory
card devices. Just insert the card into it
and copy the data directly to the card.
Due to the direct access significantly faster
transfer will be achieved.
Resetting the Navigation System
There are two options for resetting the
navigation system.
Soft Reset
This option restarts the navigation system,
without reinstallation being necessary. A
soft reset is often used in order to
reorganise the memory. In doing so all
programmes that are running are
interrupted and the working memory is
reinitialised.
Choose this option if your navigation
system is not responding or working
properly.
Perform the soft reset as follows: Carefully
press the top of the stylus-pen into the
reset opening on the lower side of your
device.
Hard Reset
Warning: A hard reset deletes all data on
your device and causes a new initial
installation. It is, however, unnecessary
to install the software on your
synchronisation computer again.
Perform the hard reset as follows:
Initially, slide the battery switch on the
bottom of the device to the OFF position
and back to ON after two seconds.
Safety Instructions for Navigation
The supplied product CD contains a
comprehensive instruction manual.
Tips for Navigation
• Do not manipulate the navigation
system while driving to protect yourself
and others from accidents!
• In the event that you do not understand
the voice instructions or if you are in
any doubt about what to do at the next
intersection, then the map or arrow
display will provide you with a quick
orientation. Only look at the display
when you are in a safe driving situation!
• Attention: The actual road conditions
and driving rules take precedence over
the instructions of the navigation
system. Only follow the instructions
when circumstances and driving rules
permit it! The navigation system will
guide you to your destination even if
you have to deviate from your planned
route.
• The direction instructions given by the
navigation system do not release the
driver of the vehicle from his or her duty
of care or personal responsibility.
• Plan routes before you leave. If you
want to calculate a new route whilst on
the road, please stop driving.
• In order to receive the GPS signal
correctly remove all metal objects that
may interfere with reception. Attach the
navigation system onto the inside of
the windscreen or near the windscreen
with the suction plate. Try out different
positions in your vehicle in order to find
the best possible reception.
Notes for Using the Device in a Vehicle
• When installing the car holder, make
sure that the it does not present any
risk to safety, even in the case of an
accident.
• Ensure that the cable does not obstruct

any safety components.
• The display of your navigation system
may show “light reflexions”. Please
make sure of not being “blinded” during
operation.
• Do not mount the components within
the airbag deployment zones.
• Check the secure adherence of the
suction cup at regular intervals.
• The power plug will consume power,
even if no device is connected. Remove
it when not in use to avoid draining the
battery.
• Check all safety equipment in your car
after installation.
Additional Notes for Using the
Navigation System on a Bike
• Make sure during installation that the
ability to steer is not impaired.
Mounting the Navigation Set in a Car
Attention! Only fix the holder for the
navigation system to the windscreen, if it
does not impede the view. Should this
not be possible, then mount the holder
with the enclosed suction plate in any
way that will allow peril-free and safe
operation.
Installing the Car Holder
• Note: If you want to fix the car holder
to the windscreen, you can skip step 1
and 2.
1. Remove the protective foil from the
sticky side of the suction plate.
2. Fix the suction plate to a suitable
position on the dashboard. Take care,
that the surface of the dashboard is
clean and press the suction plate
strongly onto the surface.
• To obtain a strong and secure hold the
suction plate should not be used for 24
hours.
3. Mount the car holder to the flexible
neck. Note the labels on the flexible
neck. The arrow labelled CLOSE must
point to the direction of the fixture. The
connection locks in with a noticeable
clicking sound.
1. Place the holder with the suction head
onto the suction plate (or directly onto
the windscreen) and press the lever on
the suction head downwards. The
suction head will stick itself firmly to
the suction plate.
2. Set the navigation system into the car
holder by placing it initially in the lower
noses and then pressing it down gently
until the holder clicks in.
Connecting the Car Adaptor
When the battery is low, you can recharge
the device in the car:
1. Connect one end of the car charger to
connector at the bottom of your
navigation system.
2. Now insert the power adaptor into the
cigarette lighter socket and ensure that
it will not lose contact while driving.
This could cause a malfunction.
• Note: Remove the car adaptor from
the cigarette lighter socket when ending
a trip or when parking the car for an
extended period of time.

GPS is a satellite-based system for
determining your position. With the help
of more than 24 satellites revolving around
the earth, it is possible to determine your
position on earth with an accuracy of a
few meters. The satellite signals are
received by the antenna of the integrated
GPS receiver, which must have a “line of
sight” to at least 4 satellites.
• Note: By limited line of sight access
(e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in
woods or also in vehicles with metal-
coated windows) it is impossible to
determine the position. The satellite
reception automatically picks up again
as soon as the obstacle has been
passed and the line of sight is
established again.
The GPS receiver consumes additional
power. This is especially of concern when
running on batteries. To save power do
not switch on the GPS receiver
unnecessarily.
You can also switch off the device by
means of the sleep/wake button in case
of a shorter interruption to your journey.
Pressing the same button again will
perform a restart. At the same time, the
GPS receiver will also be reactivated if
the navigation software is still running.
Here, it can take a short time for the
position to be updated, according to the
reception situation.
• Note: Please note that your device is
preset not to shut down automatically
after a few minutes without activity. You
can change this default in the settings
mode.
• If the GPS receiver has not been active
for some hours, it must orientate itself
again. This process may take some
minutes.
Memory Card Quick Installation
This option will only be available to you
if your navigation system is equipped with
a prepared memory card. In this case,
you will be able to use the navigation
function of your device after a short time,
without carrying out the pre-installation
on a PC.
• In any case, the initial setup must be
performed as described on page 15.
• The following installation limits the
navigation to the area which is pre-
installed on your memory card.
You must perform these steps to put the
navigation into operation in your car:
1.Read and adhere to the safety
instructions on page 2 and the following.
2.Install the remaining components of the
navigation system.
3.Press the sleep/wake button to start
your navigation system. If the
instructions of Step 1 have not yet been
performed, then do it now. The battery
should be charged. If necessary, charge
the battery by means of the car power
supply.
• Insert the pre-installed memory card in
the navigation system. The installation
of the navigation software starts
automatically. Follow the instructions
on the screen.
NOTES:
• The memory card must always be
inserted in the device during the use of
the navigation system. A soft reset will
have to be performed to restart the
navigation system if the memory card
is removed during its use, even for a
short time.
• After a hard reset, the software will
have to be installed again.
• Perform a hard reset initially, if you want
to reinstall the navigation software.
Now set date and time by means of the
settings button and the date/time control
button if this has not yet been done. Set
the applicable time zone if available.

Starting Navigation
1.Switch on your navigation system.
2.The navigation software starts
automatically or after tapping the
navigation control button, depending
on the product version.
3.Tap the button to enter the destination
and the address of your navigation
destination. Then start the navigation
by tapping Navigate. After a short time
- if the satellite reception is adequate
- you will receive the route information
on the screen, augmented by voice
instructions.
For further operation of the navigation
software, please refer to the
comprehensive user handbook on the
navigation CD.
In addition, brief help is available to you
on your navigation system. You can reach
it by tapping the Options/ Destination
Entry button and then selecting the help
function.
Note: When the GPS-receiver is used for
the first time, it will require some minutes
for initialization. Even if GPS signal
reception is indicated, the navigation could
be imprecise. In all future instances it will
only take about 30-60 seconds until a
correct GPS signal is available; this,
however, requires a sufficient “sight” of
the satellites.
Installing Software on Your PC
In order to be able to use self-defined
maps on your navigation system you must
install the corresponding navigation
software on your PC.
1.Before installing the navigation software
ensure that ActiveSync is installed and
your navigation system is connected
to your PC via the ActiveSync cable.
2.Insert CD 1 with the navigation software
in your CD-ROM drive. The installation
starts automatically.
3.Follow the instructions on the screen.
Content of the Navigation CDs
It may be possible that several CDs are
supplied, depending on your product
version.
Content of the CDs:
CD 1 contains the PC application,
digitalised map material and data for fast
restoring the content of the memory card.
Additional material on the card is stored
on CD 2 (optional). The PC application
will be installed on the computer and used
to set up your own map details. Apart
from this, it will support the recreation of
data on the memory card.
Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
To transfer your data between your PC
and your navigation system you need the
Microsoft ActiveSync programme.
The purchase of the navigation system
includes a license for this programme,
which can be found on the support CD.
Attention: Important files can be
overwritten or changed during software
installation. You should create a hard disk
backup, in order to be able to have access
to the original files in case of possible
problems following the installation.
You must have administrator rights to
install the software under Windows
2000/XP.
Attention: You should not connect the
navigation system to your computer yet.
1.Insert the support CD and wait until the
programme starts automatically.
Note: If it does not start automatically,
the Auto Run function is probably
deactivated. Then you have to start the
setup programme on the CD manually.
2.Choose the language, then click on
Install ActiveSync and follow the
instructions on the screen.
3.While the connection options are
checked, use the ActiveSync cable to
connect the navigation system to your
computer. To do this, plug the USB
connector into the USB port of your
computer.
The hardware installation assistant now
recognises a new device and installs a
suitable driver, which can take some
minutes. Repeat the connection search
if it fails the first time.
4.Follow the instructions on the screen.
The programme will now set up a
partnership between your PC and the
device.
