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 secured within its holder.

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 tele-
phones 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 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, 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 entan-
glement or snaring. E.g. ensure that the cables cannot be trod on, or tripped over.
•Do not place any items on the cable.

Transport
When transporting the appliance please follow the instructions below:
•In the event of large fluctuations in temperature or humidity, condensation or
moisture may form inside the appliance. This can cause an electrical short-circuit.
•After transporting the appliance wait until the unit has acclimatised and adjusted to
surrounding conditions (e.g. room temperature and humidity) prior to use.
•In order to protect the appliance from dirt, knocks and scratching, please use an
appropriate protective case.

original packaging isn’t available please contact customer service for advice.
•When passing through baggage 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 your bags are placed). Avoid the magnetic
detector (the structure through which you yourself pass) or the magnetic wand
(the hand device that the security staff use), since this may corrupt your data.

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 sheet 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,
•using a suitable USB cable or
•by using a mains adapter (purchased as an optional extra).
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:
•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 charged-up fully.
•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 con-
tinuous operation.
•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.

II. Power Supply
Car Adapter
(similar picture)
1. Plug the jack (n) of the connection cable into the corresponding receptor at the
bottom of your navigation system.
2. Insert the power adapter (o) 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.
Please pay attention to the fact that both USB plugs of the USB cable supplied with the
device must be connected to your PC or laptop to guarantee a sufficient supply of electric-
ity.
No additional software or updates are 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.
