Precautions and Notices
 For your own safety, do not operate the controls of the product while driving.
 Use this product prudently. The product is intended for use solely as a
navigation aid. It is not for precise measurement of direction, distance,
location or topography.
 The calculated route is for reference only. It is the user’s responsibility to
follow the traffic signs and local regulations along the roads.
 When you get out of the car, do not leave your device on the dashboard
subjected to direct sunlight. Overheating of the battery can cause malfunction
and/or danger.
 GPS is operated by the United States government, which is solely responsible
for the performance of GPS. Any change to the GPS system can affect the
accuracy of all GPS equipments.
 GPS satellite signals cannot pass through solid materials (except glass). When
you are inside a tunnel or building, GPS positioning is not available.
 A minimum of 4 GPS satellite signals is needed to determine current GPS
position. Signal reception can be affected by situations such as bad weather or
dense overhead obstacles (e.g. trees and tall buildings).
 Other wireless devices in the vehicle might interfere with the reception of
satellite signals and cause the reception to be unstable.

iv
 A car holder is needed when using the device in a car. Be sure that you place
the device in an appropriate place, so as not to obstruct the driver’s view, or
deployment of airbags.
Do not mount where the driver’s

2 Connecting a Blutooth
Phone
2.1 General
BT-phones can only be paired and connected via the device. This process cannot
be started via the BT-phone. Only one phone can be connected at the same time.
Phone number download
When a phone is connected, the phone numbers saved on that phone’s SIM-card
are downloaded to the device. If technically possible, the numbers saved in the
phone’s internal phone book should also be downloaded. If possible, the phone
numbers downloaded from the last connected phone should be saved in the
device. If the same phone is connected again, this list of numbers should be
available immediately. There should be an automatic update of the saved list
based on any changes in the external phone’s phone book/SIM-card content (e.g.
user has added phone number on his phone – add it to list).
Last mode / auto-connect phone
If the device is switched on and BT is active, the first phone from the list of paired
devices will be connected. If that phone is not available, the next phone from the
list will be tried.
Quic access
The quick access shows the list of the last calls, including protected entries. The
last called number or received call is displayed at the top of the list. Up to 50
entries can be stored.

12
The quick access contains only numbers of calls that were accepted, missed or
dialled when handsfree was active. No call lists of connected BT-phones are
downloaded. If the number of a caller is nor known, “Unknown” is displayed.
Selecting an entry immediately dials that number (if a phone is ready).
2.2 Phone Main Menu
Dial number
The function allows the user to dial a number by using a keypad.
