Initial Set up 11
Initial Set up
The following is a step by step guide to assist in the initial Set-up of the navigation system.
Start by removing the protective plastic from the display.
I. Charging the Battery
The battery of your navigation system can be charged in the following ways:
Using the supplied car adapter or
using a suitable USB cable.
Attention!
It may be necessary to initially charge the battery for a considerable period
of time prior to commencing and running through the initial installation,
this is dependent on the level of charge held at the time by the internal
battery.
Please observe the following notes relating to the battery:
The charging status display LED will flash orange until the navigation system is
charged. If possible, do not interrupt the charging process until the
battery is fully charged. This may take a few hours. The charging status LED will
shine constant green if the battery has a high level of charge. Leave the device
charging for 20 further minutes, to ensure the battery is fully charged.
The navigation system can be used during the charging process, but the power
supply must not be interrupted during initial set-up.
Leave the external power supply connected to the navigation system for around 24
hours, so that the backup battery also charges-up fully.
The external power supply can remain connected; this is recommended for conti-
nuous operation. However, the mains adapter (optional) must remain switched on
whenever it is connected to the navigation system.
Even after a power source has been connected to the device it may take several mi-
nutes until the device is once again ready to operate again, this occurs if the charg-
ing state of the battery is exceptionally low. The battery will continue to be charged
if the power supply is connected and the device is switched off.

Initial Set up

II. Power Supply
Car adapter
(similar picture)
1. Plug the jack () of the connection cable into the corresponding receptor at the
bottom of your navigation system.
2. Insert the power adapter () into the cigar lighter socket ensuring, that it will not
lose contact while driving. This could cause a malfunction.
Alternative possibility of charging the battery
The battery will charge as soon as you connect your navigation device to a switched-on PC
or notebook by means of a USB cable. No additional software or updates is required for
your PC to perform this function. Do not interrupt the charging process if possible during
the initial charge.
Note
The brightness will be adjusted downwards, if necessary, if a USB connec-
tion is being set up when the device is switched on.
It is recommended to set the device to the stand-by mode, in order to
shorten the charging time by USB.

Note
You will not be able to select the Navigation menu or the settings if the
navigation software does not find any map files in the device or on a
memory device. Then the ‘Other applications’ menu will appear auto-
matically.
Note
Brief pressure on the on/off button will be enough to switch the device
on or off, provided that your navigation system is connected to an external
source of electricity or is running in battery operation (standby mode).
You can adjust the period of operation to suit your needs using the
Settings button on the main screen of your device. Your device is deliv-
ered in a status in which it will not switch off independently.
Press and hold the On/Off key (> 3 sec.), to completely switch off the
device.
No data will be lost as data is stored in the internal memory. The starting
process will only last slightly longer.
Your navigation system will use a low amount of electricity and the batteries will be dis-
charged, even when in standby mode.
IV. Installing the Navigation Software
The final installation of the navigation software will take place automatically from the in-
ternal memory, during the initial set up, if your device has already been equipped with the
basic data of the navigation software at the factory. Follow the instructions on the screen.
An optional memory card must always be inserted in the device while the navigation sys-
tem is being used.
It will be necessary to carry out a Reset to restart the navigation system if the memory card
has been removed (see page 21).
Please also read the chapter Navigation starting on page 23.
