• Please note that a dirty or scratched naviga-
tion DVD can seriously impair the speed and
functions of the navigation system.
rn Note
• Your navigation system is a powerful com-
puter. Just like your computer at home, the unit
needs a few seconds to process complex com-
mands . In these cases, the unit may no longer
react to external commands until the com-
mands being processed are finished. Be patient,
as
the unit may already have "stored" the com-
mands, even if it does not appear to be reacting
to them. These
commands are processed one
after the other when background processing is
complete, which could lead to confusion.
• The DVD drive in this unit uses a Dolby Dig-
ital® audio codingsystem and MLP Lossless® for

Presentation in this operating manual
A brief explanation to better understand thepresentation of procedures and func-
tions shown in this manual.
This operating manual differentiates between
non-modifiable, printed keys on the unit, and
the "function keys" (soft keys) which appear on
the screen.
The printed unit buttons (e.g. the function selec-
tion buttons => page 2, fig. 1 0) are always ac-
companied by the word "button" in the text An
example instruction in the manual is: "Briefly
press the ITONE) function selection button ." If a
"button" or a "function selection button" is
mentioned in the manual together with the
button symbol 0, you will find this button on
the
unit and not on the screen. You will find an
overview and briefdescription of the unit but-
tons at the beginning of the manual => page 2,
fig. I.
Function keys are described in the text by the
word "function key" and the key symbol 0 or, in
some cases, only by the key symbol O.
\Nhen a function key is referenced in an illustra-
tion for the first time, an illustration reference is
inserted in addition to the key symbol. The illus-
tration reference is shown at the beginning of an
illustration description. When the text refers to
another illustration, a new illustration reference
is inserted.

Using input masks
Overview
Input masks are used to select an address orentera name ornumbers.
There are two kinds of input ma s ks .The in put
masks used to search for and call up information
in the unit (e.g "select" an address) and input
masks where "free text" can
be entered.
Input masks
appear in a wide range of menus
buttheiroperation is almost identical.The high-
lightingcolour oftheavailable function keys de-
pends
on which menu the input maskwas called
up from.
Input masks for selecting a saved entry
These input masks can be found in the naviga-
tion for selecting a target address [rom the avail-
able navigation data. Each entrylimits the
se lec-
tion ofavailable entries further => page 62,
"I nput windows for navigation" or => page 114,
"Searching for an entry in the telephone book,,7).
Input masks for "free text input"
Free text entry allows any letter, number , and
special character to be entered in any combina-
tion at any time.
All special charactersare always
available for each letter. Touching the
(QK) func-
tion
key will apply the character sequence as it
appears in the inputline. You can accept a name
offered by the unit or allocate your own name.
Selecting special characters based on letters
In input masks, a numb er ofletters are also
marked with a small
tTian gle "T ". This indicates
that special characters based on this letter can
be selected.
Keep the function key pressed until a pop-up
window appears with the special character.
Ac-
cept the desired character by touching the input
line - the pop-up window will be closed. If no
entries are
made , the pop-up window is closed
automatically after a
few seconds.
Some special characters can also be "written
out
". Thus, instead ofthe Germanspecial char-
acters "A", "0",
and "0", the sequence ofcharac-
ters
"AE", " UE", and "OE" are recognised by the
navigation system. Otherspecial characters can
be ignored, e.g. instead of
"E" , "E", or "E", a
normal
"E" is recognised by the nav ig ation
system. "
