• 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

2.6. 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).
2.7. Electromagnetic Compatibility
• When connecting additional or other components the
“Electromagnetic Compatibility 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.

2.8. Connection
When connecting your appliance it is important to observe the fol-
lowing instructions:
2.8.1. 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.
2.9. Cabling
• Arrange cables so that they do not cause unnecessary obstruction
or risk entanglement 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.
2.10. Battery Operation
Your appliance is powered by an integrated battery. In order to pro-
long the life and efficiency of your battery and ensure safe operation,
follow the instructions below:
• Batteries cannot withstand excessive heat. Take care to avoid
overheating of appliance and the integrated battery. Failure to
comply with this instruction may lead to damage to or, even
explosion of the battery.
• Only use the car adapter to charge the battery.
• The batteries are special category waste. When disposing of the
appliance ensure that this is done correctly. Contact Customer
Service for more details.

2.11. Maintenance
CAUTION!
There are no user-serviceable parts which require cleaning
inside the housing of the appliance.
You can prolong the life of the appliance by taking the following sim-
ple steps:
• Always remove the power plug and all connecting cables before
cleaning.
• Clean the appliance only with a damp, lint-free cloth.
• Do not use solvents, caustic or gaseous cleaners.
2.12. Care of the Display
• Avoid scratching the display surface as this may be easily
damaged. We recommend using a display protection film (mylar)
to prevent scratching of the screen. Please contact your nearest
dealer for this accessory. The plastic on the display at delivery is
purely for protection during transportation!
• Ensure that no traces of water remain on the screen. Water can
cause irreversible discoloration.
• Use only a soft, lint-free cloth to clean the screen.
• Do not expose the screen to strong sunlight or ultraviolet
radiation.
PLEASE NOTE!
Protective film is on the surfaces to protect the device against scratching
during production and transportation. Pull off all the film after you have
set up the device correctly and before bringing it into operation.

5. 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.
5.1. 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.
CAUTION!
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 continuous 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 minutes until the device is once again ready to
operate again, this occurs if the charging 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.
• The battery will be charged, even if the device is switched off
completely.

17 of 82
5.2. Power Supply
5.2.1. Car Adapter
Plug the jack of the connection cable into the corresponding receptor of your
navigation system.
Insert the power adapter into the cigar lighter socket ensuring, that it will not
lose contact while driving. This could cause a malfu.
5.2.2. 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.
PLEASE NOTE!
The brightness will be adjusted downwards, if necessary, if a USB
connection 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.
5.3. Switching on the Device
You will switch your navigation device on or off again completely by pressing
the On/Off key for a long time (> 3 sec.).
You can switch your navigation device into standby mode and then back on
again by briefly pressing (> 0.5 sec.) the On/Off switch.
The navigation system will start the first setting up automatically. Select the
language that you require first. The brand logo will appear and your device will
display the entry screen after a few seconds.
