SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read this section carefully and follow all the instructions
given. This will help ensure reliable operation and extend the ser-
vice 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 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 to life from 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 ob-
jects. Use only the stylus provided (if also supplied) or an-
other blunt implement. The device can also be operated
with a finger in many cases.
•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 disposal. Then
wash your hands with soap, since there is a possibility that
chemicals may have escaped.
•Never allow children to play with electrical equipment
unsupervised. Children may not always correctly recognize
possible danger.

ENGLISH

Remove the power adapter from the outlet, switch the appliance
off immediately, or do not actually switch it on, and contact Cus-
tomer Service...
... if the power adapter or the attached plug become scorched or
damaged.
... if the housing of the appliance or the Power Pack 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 medium. The supplier does not assume
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 damage to your ap-
pliance. 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 sun-
light, 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 be-
cause of condensation.

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
•The appliance is most reliably operated at an ambient tem-
perature 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 tem-
peratures (e.g. when parking or from direct sunlight).
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
•When connecting additional or other components the “Elec-
tromagnetic Compatibility Directive” (EMC) must be ad-
hered to. Please also note that only screened cable (maxi-
mum 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 interfer-
ence (televisions, loudspeaker systems, mobile telephones
and so on. This will help avoid malfunctions and loss of da-
ta.
•Electronic devices emit electromagnetic waves during op-
eration.
These emissions are harmless, but can interfere with other
devices operated in close proximity.
While our devices are tested and optimized for electromag-
netic 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 ad-
justing the positions of and the distances between the de-
vices.
Before driving a car, please ensure that the electronic sys-
tems of the car are working properly.

cket of a car (car battery = DC 12V , no trucks!). If you
are in any doubt about the power source in your car, con-
tact your car manufacturer.
POWER SUPPLY
•The outlet must be in the vicinity of the appliance and must
be easily accessible.
•Only use the mains adapter on grounded sockets at
100 – 240 V~ AC, 50/60 Hz. If you are unsure about the
power supply to the place of use, ask the relevant energy
supplier.
•Use only the power adapter provided with your appliance.
•For additional safety, we recommend the use of a surge
protector in order to protect 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.

The following guides you step by step through the initial set up of
the navigation system.
Firstly, remove the foil for protecting the device during transpor-
tation from the display.
I. CHARGING THE BATTERY
Attention: It can be necessary to recharge the bat-
tery for some time initially before it is possible to run
through the initial installation, according to the state
of charging of the battery installed.
You have different possibilities to charge the battery of your navi-
gation system:
•By means of the car adapter
•With the help of the AC adapter
Please pay attention to the following notes when handling the
battery:
•The charging status display lights orange until the naviga-
tion system is charged. Do not interrupt the charging
process before the battery is fully charged. This may take a
few hours.
The navigation system is fully charged if the charging display
lights green.
•Note: You can use the navigation system during the charg-
ing process, but the power supply must not be interrupted
during initial set-up.
•Leave the mains adapter connected to the navigation sys-
tem for around 24 hours, so that the backup battery also
charges-up fully.
•You can leave the main adapter connected, and this is very
handy for continuous operation. However, the mains
adapter also requires power even when it is not charging
up the battery of the navigation system.
•The battery will also be charging if the main switch is at
the OFF position.
