Safety and Maintenance
Safety Instructions
Please read this section carefully and follow all the instructions given. This will help ensure
reliable operation and extend the service life for your appliance.
Keep the packaging and the user instructions for future reference or inquiries at a later
date. If you pass the article on to another person, you must pass on these instructions.
•Never allow children to play with electrical equipment unsupervised.
•Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from children as there is a danger of
suffocation.
•Never open up the housing of the appliance or the power adapter. These contain
no user-serviceable parts. If the housing is opened there is a danger of electric
shock.
•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. Use only the stylus
provided, a finger or another blunt implement.
•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.
Remove the power adapter from the outlet, switch the appliance off immediately, or do
not switch it on, and contact Customer Service...
•if the power adapter (optional) or the attached plug become scorched or dam-
aged.
•if the housing of the appliance or the power pack (optional) becomes damaged or
fluids leak into it. Components must be checked by Customer Service in order to
avoid damage!
Data Security
•Every time you update your data make backup copies on an external storage me-
dium. The supplier does not assume liability for data loss or damage to data stor-
age 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 damage to your appliance. The guarantee
will be excluded in such cases.
•Keep your navigation System and all connected devices away from moisture and
avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight, especially in the car.
•Make sure you protect your appliance from getting wet, e.g. from rain and hail, at
all times. Please pay attention that moisture can even build up in a protective
pouch because of condensation.
•Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking, such as can arise, for example, in the case of
transverse field intrusions.
•Install the device as vertically as possible to prevent the device from releasing itself
from its holder.
Repair
•Please contact our Service Center if you encounter technical problems with your
appliance.
•In the event repair becomes necessary, please use only our authorized Service
Partners. You will find the address on the back of your guarantee card.
Ambient Temperature
•The appliance is most reliably operated at an ambient temperature of between
41°F and 104°F (5°C and 40°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
32°F and 140°F (0°C and 60°C).
•Store the appliance in a safe location to avoid high temperatures (e.g. when park-
ing or from direct sunlight).

Safety and Maintenance 3
Electromagnetic Compatibility
•When connecting additional or other components the “Electromagnetic Com-
patibility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered to. Please also 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, mo-
bile telephones etc. This will help 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 optimized 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 a car, please ensure that the electronic systems of the car are work-
ing properly.

Connection
When connecting your appliance be sure to correctly 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, contact your car manufacturer.
Power Supply through AC adapter (optional)
•The outlet must be in the vicinity of the appliance and must be easily
accessible.
•To disconnect your appliance from the power source, remove the mains adapter
from the power socket.
•Only use the mains adapter on sockets at AC 100–240 V~ AC, 50/60 Hz. If you are
unsure about the power supply to the place of use, ask the relevant energy sup-
plier.
•Use only the power adapter provided with your appliance.
•Do not cover the power supply unit, in order to avoid damage through unaccept-
able warming.
•Stop using the power supply unit if the housing or the feed line to the device is
damaged. Replace it with a power supply unit of the same type.
•For additional safety, we recommend the use of a surge protector in order to pro-
tect your appliance from damage from spikes or lighting strikes on the power
network.
Cabling
•Arrange cables so that no-one can tread on them or trip over them.
•Do not place any items on the cable.

and be professionally recycled.

Safety and Maintenance 7
Transport
If you wish to transport the appliance follow the instructions
below:
•Following transport of the appliance wait until the unit has acclimatized before us-
ing it.
•In the case of wide fluctuations in temperature or humidity condensation or mois-
ture may form inside the appliance and this can cause an electrical short-circuit.
•In order to protect the appliance from dirt, knocks and scratching, use either the
protective case.
•Before travelling ensure that you are aware of the power and communications
provision at your destination. Before travelling obtain any power or communica-
tions adapters that may be needed.
•When shipping your appliance use only the original packaging and advise the car-
rier accordingly.
•When passing through the hand luggage control at airports, it is recommended
that you pass the appliance and all magnetic storage media (external hard drives)
through the X-ray system (the machine on which you place your bags). Avoid the
magnetic detector (the structure through which you yourself pass) or the mag-
netic wand (the hand device that the security staff use), since this may corrupt
your data.
