Mounting in a car
NOTE! If you have to connect the navigation system to the car cigarette lighter socket, start the engine
first. Power surges during the ignition may damage the device permanently.
Use the supplied windscreen mounting kit (the sucker with the arm and the holding frame) to attach the system
to the vehicle windscreen. Make sure that:
•the device location does not obstruct the visibility for the driver,
•the sucker is firmly holding to the windscreen,
•the device is firmly held in the frame,

Preparation for operation
Precautions
•Using a satellite navigation system does not mean that the user can disobey traffic regulations
(lights, signs, etc.), stop behave politely when driving or stop using common sense.
•Avoid placing the device under direct sun. Do not store it in dusty places or where the temperature is
extremely low or high (e.g. car interior with the windows closed in the summer).
•Do not drop or shake the device.
•Do not let moisture or foreign objects get into the device.
•When cleaning the device, do not use chemicals, such as white spirit or detergents.
•Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth.
•Before cleaning, turn off the device and disconnect it from the computer or the power source.
•Do not modify or repair the device yourself, because it may void the guarantee.
•Do not operate the device with wet hands. It might damage the device or cause an electric shock.
•Do not disconnect the device from the computer when transferring data. They might get irrecoverably
lost.
•Files and data stored in the device memory and on the memory card are prone to damage like any other
files. For this reason, if necessary, make the backup copies of those files and data.
Using the touch screen
You can use your finger to operate the touch screen. However, as the screen surface area is big, the stylus is
much more precise and just a little bit less comfortable. The stylus is located in the back of the device casing.
You can use the stylus to perform four basic operations:
•tapping – light touching the screen surface with the stylus,
•double tapping – quick tapping twice with the stylus on the same point of the screen,
•dragging – touching and dragging the stylus on the screen,
•holding – touching and holding the stylus several seconds on the same point of the screen.
Always operate the touch screen with the stylus or a clean finger. Using other objects might scratch the
screen, rendering the device operation difficult, or it might even void the guarantee.

OFF position (right side).
Memory card
Insert the memory cards into the device in such a way so that when looking at the device front, the card label is
visible, and when looking at the device back, the card connectors are visible.
To remove the card from the device, press the card so that it gently slides out, and then pull it out. Prior to
removing the card, make sure that all the applications accessing it (like the media player, the navigation
application) have been closed and that no files are being transferred from/to the card. Some navigation
applications use the memory card for storing the configuration and map files. If you remove such a card, it may
cause the application to operate improperly, and in extreme cases even the necessity to reinstall the application.
NOTE! Removing the card when it is in use can cause damage or loss of data, application crash or it
can even freeze the device.
Battery charging
In the top right corner of the main menu there is the icon representing the battery charge. When the icon is filled
with bars, it means the battery is fully charged. If the icon is empty, the battery is very low and you have to
charge it as quickly as possible. The battery will start charging automatically after connecting the device to the
AC charger or the car charger, plugged in the appropriate socket. During charging, the bars in the icon appear
and disappear one by one, and you can operate the device as normal. The LED under the touch screen is an
additional battery charge indicator – it is red during charging and becomes green when the charging is
complete.

To charge the battery:
•connect the device to the computer USB port, or
•connect the device to the mains socket using the AC charger (option), or
•connect the device to the car lighter socket using the car changer.
AV-IN (option)
Using this connector and the included cable, you can connect an external video device to the navigation system.
The picture from the external device will appear on the system display immediately after it is connected. If
necessary, select the appropriate option in the Settings / Video Input menu.
Connecting to the computer
NOTES:
•Only use the device built-in flash memory (visible as “ResidentFlash” or “NANDFlash”) or the
inserted memory card (visible as “SDMMC”) for the installation of applications and storage of
own files. All files stored outside these locations will be deleted when the system is turned off.
•When the data are being transferred, do not disconnect the device from the computer to prevent
the possible damage or loss of data.
The device works with the following operating systems: Windows Me / 2000 / XP / Vista.
When connected to the computer, the system is visible as USB Mass storage device. The built-in flash memory
(ResidentFlash or NANDFlash) and the inserted memory card (SDMMC) are treated as normal removable
storage. You can copy files directly from/to those storage media.
Firmware upgrade
If necessary, you can upgrade the device firmware to a newer version. The latest firmware is downloadable from
www.pentagram.eu . The downloaded new firmware archive contains detailed information on
preparing and performing the upgrade.

Main menu
When you turn on the device, the welcome screen will be displayed for a moment. Then, the main system menu
will be launched.
Navigating the menu is very simple – tap the appropriate icon with the stylus to launch it.
In the top right corner of the display the battery status icon is visible, and in the left corner the clock is displayed.

Navigation menu
If the navigation application has been properly installed and configured, tapping the icon will launch the
program. Before you start using the application, configure the path to its main executable file. You can do this in
the Settings / Nav Setup menu. If you turn off the device before closing the application, it may result in losing
the entered data – for this reason, we recommend closing the application before you turn off the device.
