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 allow children to play with electrical equipment
unsupervised. Children may not always correctly recognize
possible danger.
•Keep the packing materials, such as foil away from chil-
dren. The danger of suffocation could arise in the case
of misuse.
•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 or another blunt imple-
ment. 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.

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 (optional) 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
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 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.
•Avoid heavy vibrations and shaking, such as can arise, for
example, in the case of transverse field intrusions.
•Avoid the device from releasing itself from its holder, for
example when braking. Install the device as vertically as
possible.
Repair
•Please contact our Service Center if you encounter techni-
cal 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.

Safety and Maintenance

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 inter-
ference (televisions, loudspeaker systems, mobile tele-
phones and so on. This will help avoid malfunctions and
loss of data.
•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.

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 so-
cket 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
•The outlet must be in the vicinity of the appliance and must
be easily accessible.
•To disconnect your appliance from the power source, re-
move 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 en-
ergy supplier.
•Use only the power adapter provided with your appliance.
•Do not cover the power supply unit, in order to avoid dam-
age through unacceptable warming.
•Stop using the power supply unit if the housing or the feed
line to the device is damaged. Replace it with a power sup-
ply unit of the same type.
•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.

Power supply by means of batteries
Your device can also be operated with ordinary or rechargeable
batteries.
Battery Handling
Batteries may contain combustible materials. Misusing them may
cause battery leakage, heat, explosion or ignition, bringing about
injury or damage to the product or YOU. Please observe strictly
the following:
•KEEP CHILDREN AWAY from batteries.
•If by any chance, batteries are swallowed, consult a medi-
cal doctor immediately.

rinse with a large quantity of water immediately and con-
sult a medical doctor.
•DO NOT expose batteries to strong impacts by dropping or
throwing the batteries.
•DO NOT reverse the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
to avoid short-circuit.
•REMOVE PROMPTLY any used battery from the device.
•REPLACE THE BATTERY with a new battery of the same
type.

Transport
If you wish to transport the appliance follow the instructions
below:
•Following transport of the appliance wait until the unit has
acclimatized before using it.
•In the case of wide fluctuations in temperature or humidity
condensation or moisture 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 communications adapters
that may be needed.
•When shipping your appliance use only the original packag-
ing and advise the carrier 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 magnetic wand (the hand device
that the security staff use), since this may corrupt your
data.
