while driving.
Caution! Do not look at the screen unless it is absolutely safe to do so!

User’s manual NAVIGON 70 Easy | 70 Plus Live
- 10 - Before you begin
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

- 14 - Before you begin
Note: Use only the charger cable supplied with your navigation device
or an equivalent model from NAVIGON! If you use a different charger
cable, the NAVIGON Live services might not be available.
►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.

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.
2.4.3 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 backups, 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.

User’s manual NAVIGON 70 Easy | 70 Plus Live
- 16 - Switching on the navigation device
2.6 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.
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
►Press the (On/Off) key and keep it pressed until the device
switches on.
The NAVIGATION window opens.
When you switch on the navigation system for the first time, you will be
asked to make the following settings:
►your preferred language for using for the software
►the unit of length for distances
►the time format
►the date format
Note: When you start the navigation application for the first time, the
DEMO MODE settings window opens.
Demo mode is intended only for demonstrating the product when no
GPS reception is possible.
When demo mode is active, navigation is not possible! Demo mode
is designed solely to simulate navigation to the centre of the
indicated destination.
►Make sure that the Start in Demo Mode setting is at No. If
necessary tap on the (Toggle) button in order to change
the setting from Yes to No.
