1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a mobile Falk navigation device with the new Falk
Navigator.
With the Falk Navigator, you have purchased a product that was developed and tested with
the utmost care. It meets the highest functionality and operating requirements.
Nevertheless, should you have any suggestions or comments that would allow us to make
our products even better, we would be glad to hear from you.
The Falk Navigator manual will teach you all about the extensive functions of your navigation
device. Furthermore, problems which are caused by possible operating errors can be
avoided by reading this manual.
We wish you lots of enjoyment, a good trip, and safe arrival with your mobile Falk navigation
device.
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.

1.3 Safety and help functions
1.3.1 Theft protection
You can protect your navigation device from being used by unauthorised people by setting

User Manual Falk Navigator 10 - 10 -

Choose Define partnership>No and then click on Next.
Start up the Falk Navi-Manager. In the Navi-Manager select the Theft protection
tab.
Select Remove protection. Theft protection has been deactivated.
Using theft protection
To use theft protection, you must switch off the device completely after each trip by switching
the main power switch 5(cf. Chap. 1.4) on the back (M-Series) or bottom (F-Series) of the
device to OFF.
When you move the switch to ON again, you must enter your PIN to identify yourself.

1.3.2 Screen lock
The screen lock allows you to extend the battery running time of your navigation device. It
also prevents you from accidentally switching on the device or accidentally making entries on
the screen and thus ensures that you do not trigger any functions you do not want to.
Activating screen lock
You activate the screen lock via Settings>
Screen lock.
You have a choice between two basic settings:
Timer: Activates the screen lock according to
your personal presettings. You have a choice
between 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes and 10
minutes.
Manual: The screen lock is always activated when you manually activate the on/off switch on
the top of the device (6) (cf. Chap. 1.4). This means that audio will continue to be output, but
entries via the screen are no longer possible. For example, you can use your navigation
device with headphones (not included when the product is supplied) as an MP3 Player
(optional) and place the device in a case without accidental tapping on the screen resulting in
entries being made.
The screen is activated again if you touch the slide control on the display. Pressing the on/off
switch on the top of the device again will switch the device off and thus stop any audio
outputs.
Confirm your entry by tapping OK.
Screen lock active
The screen is activated after the device is switched on via the on/off button on the top of the
device or the battery switch on the bottom of the device. You will now see a virtual slide
control which you can use to switch on the device. To do this, place your finger on the touch
screen and move the slide control from top to bottom. The device is now switched on.
If the slide control is not operated within a certain period of time, your navigation device
automatically switches off again.

User Manual Falk Navigator 10 - 13 -

1.4.1 Memory card slot
You can use a memory card to store map data or audio files (optional). These files can be
recognised and used by the navigation device. For this to happen, you must insert an SD
card which has country maps or audio files (optional) stored on it into the memory card slot
on your device.
Map data:
In order for map data to be recognised, a soft reset must be carried out after inserting the SD
card into the device. Removing the SD card during navigation or even when the device is
turned off causes the software to crash. A soft reset is therefore required every time the SD
card is removed.
1.4.2 Serial number
For some services or offers in the Falk Online Shop, you need
to specify the serial number of your navigation device.
You will find the serial number of your navigation device on the
product sticker on the back of the device beneath the barcode.
It comes after S/N, e.g. S/N: MCA20G0803812
Please enter only the serial number without S/N, so in our
example: MCA20G0803812

2.2 Navigation screen
In addition to your current position on the map view, the navigation screen also provides you
with lots of extra information.
Safety note: The menus on the navigation screen which contain additional information
should not be operated while you are driving as this may divert your attention from the road.
Your current position is marked on the map view by a red arrow.
The route which has been calculated by the Falk Navigator and on which you are travelling
has a blue background on the map view. This allows you to see ahead to where the route is
taking you.
You can get to the main menu of the application at any time by tapping on the main
menu button.
2.2.1 Overview
A Information bar
The information bar shows the next street name and, if applicable, the associated road
number. When you are on a main road or motorway, additional direction indicators and exit
numbers are displayed before a turnoff. This means that you are informed about the main
road or motorway number or exit you will take next. This number is displayed in conjunction
with a corresponding symbol.
Note: If your next manoeuvre is more than 5 km away, the information bar is hidden. If you
are in Position Tracking mode, the information bar is automatically hidden.

profile you have currently set.
Compass: The compass symbol is used to display the direction in which you are
travelling.
GPS quality: The satellite symbol shows the GPS quality currently available.

determine elevation. Signals are being received from 3 satellites.
Green: You are receiving a high-quality GPS signal that allows your elevation to be
determined. Signals are being received from at least 4 satellites.
Battery: The battery indicator shows the remaining battery capacity for the device. It is
first shown on the navigation screen when the remaining capacity falls to less than 30%.
Once the remaining capacity falls below 15%, the battery indicator is shown in red. When the
battery capacity drops below 10%, a prompt is displayed on the screen asking you to
connect your device to a power supply. Once the device has been connected to a power
source, the symbol indicates that the navigation device is currently charging.

by a loudspeaker symbol with a line through it.
Note: You can adjust the system volume settings via the rapid access menu or the settings
menu. To do this, tap the loudspeaker symbol on the navigation screen.
Mobile phone (optional): This symbol is shown if there is an active phone connection as
part of the Bluetooth® function which has been activated. If the mobile phone symbol is
displayed, the mute symbol is switched off. Please consult Chapter 2.7 for more detailed
information on how to make phone calls using Bluetooth®.
Speed camera detector (optional): The warning triangle tells you if you have activated
the speed camera detector or not. If you encounter a fixed speed camera on your journey,
you will see a corresponding alert icon along the route on the navigation screen. Please
consult the Navigator settings chapter 2.5 for details on how to activate the speed camera
detector.
Note: If you have downloaded speed camera detector data from the Internet onto your
navigation device using the PC program Falk Navi-Manager (cf. Chap. 5) and activated this
data via the Settings menu, you will, on the basis of what speed is permitted, receive a visual
and audible warning for the first time at least 50 m before a fixed speed camera and for the
second time at least 15 m before a fixed speed camera.
User Manual Falk Navigator 10 - 19 -

Note: For terms and conditions on the use of the speed camera detector, please
consult Chapter 2.5.3.
