1.1 About this manual
The functions of your Falk Navigator navigation software are described in detail in the
following chapters of this manual. Some chapters are dedicated to functions or optional
accessories that only apply to specific products in the Falk family. Chapters that describe
optional functions or accessories are identified as “optional” in the manual.
The product description on the original packaging of your product will tell you whether you
can use these functions with your product. The packaging also indicates which accessories
are included in the scope of delivery of your product.
The following notation is used in this manual to improve legibility and comprehensibility:
Bold: Important text sections or terms that are used in the Navigator program interface in
the form of labels for the icons used.
Note: Notes are used repeatedly in order to identify important or essential information.
Tip: Tips are pointers designed to make the device easier to use or to solve problems.
In order to ensure you understand the description of the Falk Navigator properly and to avoid
misunderstandings, frequently used terms are explained in detail below.
Note: The screens used in this document show all of the options available in the Falk
Navigator. In the case of products which do not feature all of the functions, these functions
are not displayed on the navigation screen or in the blue bar at the top of the menu. For this
reason, the screens used in the document may differ from those in your navigation system.
In principle, the screens shown in this manual may differ from the screens on your navigation
systems.

1.2 Safety notes & maintenance - conformity declaration
Please read through this chapter carefully and follow all of the notes which are provided. This
will ensure reliable operation and a long service life for your device.
•Please establish the required settings and enter your desired destination before you set
off. Never operate your navigation device while driving, since this could distract you from
what is happening on the road and cause an accident.
•Road traffic regulations always take precedence over the instructions provided by the
Falk Navigator. Should this require you to leave the route suggested by your navigation
device, the Falk Navigator will recalculate the route and lead you to your destination
along an alternative route.
•Do not look at the display on your device for a lengthy period of time while driving.
•In order to ensure that the device does not pose a hazard to the vehicle or the occupants
of the vehicle, even in the event of a critical traffic situation such as an emergency stop,
always attach your mobile Falk navigation device in your vehicle using a mounting
bracket recommended by Falk. Ensure that the effectiveness of passive safety systems
in your vehicle such as airbags cannot be impaired by the installation of the bracket.
