holder.

The power socket on the right side of the navigator is

meant to be used only with the AC/DC power supply

Socket for cigarette lighter power

supply cable

ATTENTION:

DO NOT plug the car charger

in the audio output of the

navigator!

AT HOME: using the AC/DC power supply cable

ATTENTION: DO NOT plug the AC/DC power supply
