2.3 Important safety information
In your own interest, please read the following safety information and
warnings carefully before starting up your navigation system.
2.3.1 Navigation safety information
Use the navigation system at your own risk.
Caution! To prevent accidents, do not operate the navigation system
while driving.

User’s manual NAVIGON 42 Easy | 42 Plus | 42 Premium
- 10 - Before you begin
Caution! Do not look at the screen unless it is absolutely safe to do so!
Caution! Traffic regulations have priority over any instructions from the
navigation system.
Caution! Follow the instructions of the navigation system only when the
circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow you to do so! The
navigation system will still guide you to your destination even if you
deviate from the calculated route.
Caution! Check that the cradle is secured and adjusted properly before
each journey.
2.3.2 Safety information for the navigation device
Caution! Protect the device from moisture. The device is neither
waterproof nor protected against splash water.
Caution! Do not open the case of the navigation device under any
circumstances.
Caution! Do not expose the navigation device to extreme heat or cold.
This may damage the device or impair its function (see "Technical data"
on page 103).
Caution! Never unplug by pulling the cable. Doing so could severely
damage or destroy the device.
Caution! Do not subject the navigation device to severe temperature
fluctuations. This can lead to condensation.
Note: Do not kink the cable. Make sure that the cable cannot be
damaged by sharp-edged objects.
Note: Create a backup of the data which exist in the internal memory of
your navigation device.
This is very easy to do with the NAVIGON Fresh software which can be
downloaded free of charge from our website www.navigon.com/fresh.
2.3.3 Safety information for installing the device in your car
Caution! Fasten the cradle so that the navigation device is easy to see
and operate by the driver. Make sure that the driver's view of the traffic
is not impeded.

User’s manual NAVIGON 42 Easy | 42 Plus | 42 Premium
Before you begin - 11 -
Caution! Do not attach the cradle within the working zone of any
airbags.
Caution! Do not fasten the cradle too close to the steering wheel or
other controls. The driver must not be obstructed in operating any car
functions.
Caution! When installing the cradle, make sure that it will not pose a
risk in the event of an accident.
Caution! Do not run cables within the operating radius of airbags or in
the direct vicinity of other safety-relevant devices and power supply
lines.
Caution! Check that the cradle is secured and adjusted properly before
each journey. The suction cup may become loose after a while.
Caution! After installation, check all safety-relevant equipment in the
car.
Caution! Connect the car charger cable only to cigarette lighters with
an operating voltage of 10-24V.
Caution! Disconnect the car charger cable from the cigarette lighter
whenever you park the car. The integrated mains adapter always
consumes a small amount of energy and could drain the car battery.
2.4 Preparing the navigation system for use
2.4.1 Installing the navigation system in the vehicle
Caution! Be sure to refer to all the safety information in chapter
"Important safety information" on page 9.
Securing the cradle

User’s manual NAVIGON 42 Easy | 42 Plus | 42 Premium
- 12 - Before you begin
1. Clean the suction cup and that part of the windscreen to which you
want to secure the cradle. Both must be dry and free of dirt and
grease.
2. Open the lever on the suction cup as far as possible.
3. Place the cradle suction cup against the windscreen.
4. Press the lever towards the windscreen.
Inserting the navigation device into the cradle
On the back of the navigation device you will see a circle with two
recesses.
1. Hang the navigation device by the upper recess on the upper lug of
the cradle (see the figure).
2. Then press it towards the cradle so that it latches in place.
Supplying power to the navigation device
Included in delivery of the navigation device is a car charger cable with
which power can be supplied to the navigation device via the vehicle's
cigarette lighter.
Note: Use only the charger cable supplied with your navigation device
or an equivalent model from NAVIGON!
►Connect the car charger cable to the vehicle's cigarette lighter and
to the mini USB socket of the navigation device.
The LED on the bottom of the navigation device lights up orange during
charging.
As soon as the battery is fully charged, the LED lights up green.
Caution! Connect the car charger cable only to cigarette lighters with
an operating voltage of 10-24V.

User’s manual NAVIGON 42 Easy | 42 Plus | 42 Premium
Before you begin - 13 -
Caution! Be sure to refer to all the safety information in chapter
"Important safety information" on page 9.
Note: Insert the USB connector securely in the corresponding USB
sockets!
Note: It takes approx. 3 hours to charge the device when the battery is
flat.
A fully charged battery enables up to 3 hours of use depending on the
device configuration.
TMC antenna
The navigation device has an integrated TMC receiver. The TMC
antenna is integrated in the car charger cable. Once the car charger
cable is connected, the device can receive current traffic messages. If
required, it can change your route dynamically, e.g. in order to avoid a
traffic jam.
2.4.2 Memory card
A memory card is not required to operate the navigation system
because all the data required for navigation are stored in the internal
memory of the device.
When you connect the navigation system to your computer using a USB
cable, the internal memory is detected as the 'NAVIGON' drive. The slot
for the memory card is detected as the 'NAVIGON SD' drive.
Data back-ups, software updates and navigation map updates can be
carried out quickly and conveniently with the NAVIGON Fresh software,
which you can download free of charge from the website
www.navigon.com/fresh.
If you purchase additional navigation maps but no longer have enough
space for them in the internal memory of your navigation device, it is
also possible for you to save these maps on a memory card microSD
which you then insert in the device. The navigation system can use
navigation maps from both memories.
2.5 Navigating with GPS
GPS is based on a total of at least 24 satellites orbiting the Earth and
continuously transmitting signals of their position and time. The GPS
receiver receives this data and calculates its own geographical position
on the basis of the information transmitted by the various satellites.
Data from at least three satellites is required for positioning with an
acceptable degree of accuracy. With data from four or more satellites it
is possible in addition to determine the position's altitude above sea
level. Positioning is accurate to within three metres.

User’s manual NAVIGON 42 Easy | 42 Plus | 42 Premium
- 14 - Switching on the navigation device
Once the navigation device has determined your position, this position
can be used as a starting point for calculating a route.
The map data on your navigation device includes the geographical
coordinates of all digitally recorded points of interest, streets and
places. This enables the device to calculate a route between a starting
point and a destination.
Calculation of the current position and its representation on the map
take place approximately once every second. In other words, your
current position is always shown on the map.
3 Switching on the navigation device
The navigation device can be in one of three states:
►On: The navigation device is on and can be operated.
►Standby: When you switch the navigation device to standby mode,
the next time it is switched on it will start very quickly and with the
window which was active when switched off. In standby mode the
device still consumes a small amount of energy however.
Depending on how full the battery is, it can become flat within a few
days or a few weeks.
►Off: When you switch off the device, it consumes hardly any
energy. It can then take several months for the battery to become
flat. Switching the device on again triggers a restart which can take
some time (approx. 60 seconds). Your settings and your saved
destinations and routes will be retained.
3.1 Switching on the device
►Press the (On/Off) key and keep it pressed until the device
switches on.
The NAVIGATION window opens.
3.2 Switching the navigation device to standby
mode
►Press briefly on the (On/Off) key (max. 2 seconds).
A message will appear telling you that the device will be switched to
standby mode in several seconds.
►Wait for the device to be switched to standby mode or tap on
Standby.
Automatic Standby
You can configure the navigation device so that it is automatically
switched to standby mode when not in use.
