Safety and Maintenance
Safety Instructions
Please read this section carefully and follow all the instructions provided. This will help
ensure reliable operation and prolong the life of your appliance.
Keep the packaging and the user instructions for future reference or enquiries at a later
date. If you pass the article on to another person, you should pass on these instructions.
Never allow children to play with electrical equipment unsupervised.
Keep the packaging materials, such as plastic bags away from children as there is a
danger of suffocation.
Never open up the housing of the appliance. This contains no user-serviceable
parts. If the housing is opened there is a danger of electric shock.
Please operate your navigation system with an approved power supply only.
Do not place any objects on the appliance and do not exert any pressure on the
display. Otherwise there is a danger that the screen will break.
To avoid damage, do not touch the screen with sharp objects. We recommend us-
ing only the stylus provided or finger when using the touch-screen functionality of
the product.
There is a risk of injury if the display breaks. If this should occur, use protective
gloves to pack the broken parts and contact customer support to arrange for dis-
posal. Then wash your hands with soap, since there is a possibility that chemicals
may have escaped.
Switch the appliance off immediately, or do not switch it on, and contact Customer Ser-
vice.
If the housing of the appliance becomes damaged or liquid may have leaked into it
the components must be checked by Customer Service in order to avoid damage!
Data Security
Every time your data is updated or modified backup copies should be made on an
external storage medium. The supplier assumes NO liability for data loss or damage
to data storage units, and no claims can be accepted for damages resulting from
the loss of data or for consequential damages.

Operating Environment
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to your appliance being damaged. In cases
where products are damaged as a result of misuse or neglect the associated guarantee will
be considered void.
Keep your navigation System and all connected devices away from moisture and
avoid exposure to dust, heat and direct sunlight, especially in the car.
Make sure you prevent your appliance from getting wet, e.g. from rain and hail, at
all times. Please note that moisture can even build up inside a protective pouch as a
result of condensation.
Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking.
Please note the device should be installed vertically, this will ensure that the device
remains secure within its holder.
Repair
Please contact our Service Centre if you encounter technical problems with your
appliance.
In the event a repair becomes necessary, please use Medion authorised Service
Partners. The address can be found on the back of your guarantee card or online at
www.medion.co.uk
Ambient temperature
The appliance will operate effectively at an ambient temperature of between +32°F
and +95°F (0° C and 35 °C) and at a relative humidity of between 10 % and 90 %
(non-condensing).
In the powered down state the appliance can be stored at between -4°F and
+140°F (-20 °C + to 60 °C).
Store the appliance in a safe location, away from high temperatures (e.g. when
parking or from direct sunlight).

Safety and Maintenance 3
Electromagnetic Compatibility
When connecting additional or other components the “Electromagnetic Compati-
bility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered to. Please note that only screened cable
(maximum 10ft) should be used with this appliance.
For optimal performance, maintain a distance of at least 10 ft. from sources of high-
frequency and magnetic interference (televisions, loudspeaker systems, mobile
telephones etc.).This will help to avoid malfunctions and loss of data.
Electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves during operation.
These emissions are harmless, but can interfere with other devices operated in close
proximity.
While our devices are tested and optimised for electromagnetic compliance in our
laboratories, interference during operation may still occur in the device itself and
with other devices in its proximity.
Should such interference occur, try to eliminate it by adjusting the positions of and
the distances between the devices.
Before driving, please ensure that the electronic systems of the car are working
properly.
Connection
When connecting your appliance it is important to observe the following instructions:
Power supply through Car Adapter
The car adapter should only be connected to the lighter socket of a car
(car battery = DC 12V , truck battery = DC 24V ). If you are in any doubt about
the power source in your car, please contact your car manufacturer.
Cabling
Arrange cables so that they do not cause unnecessary obstruction or risk entangle-
ment or snaring. E.g. ensure that the cables cannot be trod on, or tripped over.
Do not put any objects on the cable, because it could be damaged if you do so.
Do not use any force and pay attention to the correct orientation of the plug when
connecting the cables and plugs.
Do not permit any great forces to be exerted on the plug connections, from the
side, for example. This will lead to damage in and to your device if you do so.
Avoid short circuiting and broken cable by not crushing or bending it sharply.
