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 hous-
ing 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 objects.
Use only the stylus provided.
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 chemi-
cals may have escaped.
Never allow children to play with electrical equipment un-
supervised. Children may not always correctly recognize pos-
sible danger.

O PERATING E NVIRONMENT
Keep your navigation System and all connected devices
away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight,
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.
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to damage to your ap-
pliance. The guarantee will be excluded in such cases.

A MBIENT TEMPERATURE
The appliance is most reliably operated at an ambient tem-
perature of between 1°F and 10 °F (5°C and 0°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 1 0°F (0°C and 60°C).
Store the appliance in a safe location to avoid high tempera-
tures (e.g. when parking or from direct sunlight).
E LECTROMAGNETIC C OMPATIBILITY
When connecting additional or other components the “Elec-
tromagnetic Compatibility Directive” (EMC) must be adhered
to. Please also note that only screened cable (maximum 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 interference
(televisions, loudspeaker systems, mobile telephones and so
on. This will help avoid malfunctions and loss of data.

C ONNECTION
When connecting your appliance be sure to correctly observe the
following instructions:
P OWER 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/ 0 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 pro-
tector in order to protect your appliance from damage from
spikes or lighting strikes on the power network.
P OWER THROUGH C AR A DAPTER
The car adapter should only be connected to the lighter
socket of a car (car battery = DC 12V , no trucks!). If you
are in any doubt about the power source in your car, contact
your car manufacturer.

long the life and efficiency of your battery and to ensure safe opera-
tion, follow the instructions below:
Caution! Danger of explosion if rechargeable batteries are
not changed properly. Only replace with the same type of
battery or a similar type recommended by the manufac-
turer. Never open the rechargeable battery. Do not throw
the rechargeable battery into fire. Dispose of the used
batteries following the manufacturer's instructions.
Batteries cannot withstand heat. Avoid the appliance and the
integrated battery becoming overheated. Failure to comply
with this instruction may lead to damage to and even explo-
sion of the battery.
Use only the original power pack to charge the battery or the
car adapter from the optional navigation kit.
The batteries are special category waste. When dis-
posing of the appliance ensure that this is done correctly.
Contact Customer Service for more details.

T RANSPORT
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 humid-
ity 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 traveling ensure that you are aware of the power and
communications provision at your destination. Before travel-
ing obtain any power or communications adapters (modem,
LAN, etc.) that may be needed.
When shipping your appliance use only the original packaging
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 sys-
tem (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 secu-
rity staff use), since this may corrupt your data.

I NITIAL S ET - UP
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.
ST EP 1: S WITCHING ON THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Switch the main switch on the back of the device to ON.
Attention: Always leave the main switch in the ON Position,
unless you want to carry out a new reinstallation. All data will
be lost and the initial installation will have to be carried out
again if the switch is set to OFF.
The Navigation System will start the initial installation automati-
cally. The brand logo will appear and your device will display the
application screen after a few seconds.
You set the date and the time by means of the Settings switch
and the date/time control button. Set the applicable time zone, if
available.
 Attention: It can be necessary for the device to have to be
charged for some time, before the initial setting up can run
through, according to the charging status of the accumulator
installed.

C HARGING BATTERY OF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
You have different possibilities to charge the battery of your navi-
gation system:
With the help of the network adapter
By means of the car adapter
The charging status display lights orange until the navi-
tation 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
charging process, but the power supply must not be inter-
rupted during initial set-up.
Leave the mains adapter connected to the navigation sys-
tem for around 2 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.
