GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position. With the help of 24 satellites
revolving around the earth, it is possible to determine your position on earth with the
accuracy of a few meters. The satellite signals are received by the antenna of the built-in
GPS receiver, which must have a “line of sight” to at least 4 of these.

Note:
• By limited line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in woods or also in vehicles

with metal-coated windows) it is not possible to determine the position. The satellite
reception however automatically picks up again as soon as the obstacle has been
passed and there line of sight is reestablished again.

• Please note that your appliance is preset to not shut down automatically after a few

minutes without activity. You can Change this preset in the Settings mode.

• If the GPS receiver has not been active for some hours, it must orientate itself again.

This process may take a while.

Memory Card Quick Installation
This option is only available to you if your navigation system is equipped with a prepared
memory card. In this
case, you will ready be able to use the Navigation function of your device after a short
time, without carrying out the pre-installation on a PC.
• The initial setting up must be carried out as described on page 15 in any case.
• The following installation limits the Navigation to the area which is pre-installed on your

memory card.

You must carry out these steps to put the navigation into operation in your car:
1. Read and adhere to the safety instructions on p.2 and following and p.23 and following.
2.Install the remaining components of the navigation system.
3.Press the Sleep/Wake up button to start your navigation system. If the instructions of

Step1 have not yet been executed, then do it now. The battery should be charged. The
accumulator will be charged by means of the car power supply if necessary.

• Insert the pre-installed memory card in the navigation system. The installation of the

navigation software will start automatically.
Follow the instructions on the screen.

NOTES:
• The memory card must always be inserted into the device during the use of the navigation

system. A Soft Reset will have to be carried out to restart the navigation system, if the
memory card is removed during its use, even for a short time.
Set the date and time by means of the Settings button and the date/time control button,
if this has not yet taken place. Set the applicable time zone, if available.

Staring Navigation
1. Press the Sleep/Wake up button for about two seconds to wake up your navigation

system.

2.The navigation software will start automatically or after clicking on the navigation control

button, according to the version.

3.Press the menu icon to enter the destination and the address of your navigation destination.

Then start the navigation by clicking on Navigate. YOU will receive the rout information
on the screen, augmented by language statements, after a short time, if the satellite
reception is adequate.

Please take information about the further operation of the Navigation software from the
comprehensive User Handbook on the Navigation CD.
In addition, brief help is available to you on your navigation system. You will reach it by
means of the Options/Destination Entry icon and by selecting the help function.
Note: The GPS-receiver will require some minutes for initialization when deployed for the
first time. Even when GPs signal reception is indicated the navigation could be imprecise.
In all future instances it will take about 30-60 seconds until a correct GPS-signal is available,
sufficient “sight” of the satellite is a prerequisite.
