Installation of the hands-free car kit
Step 1:
First of all, please choose the most convenient position for the attached
monitor on the holder and the installation pad in your vehicle by check-
ing different positions in the vehicle.
If you would like to use the device during your journey, positioning it in
the front area on the driver’s side is advisable. Sit in the vehicle and
check whether you can reach the device without difficulty.
To produce an electronic log, position data is required from your vehi-
cle. This is provided via NAVSTAR GPS, a global navigation satellite
system for determining position and timing, and is received by a GPS
receiver in the monitor. Therefore make sure when placing the device
that it can receive data of this kind, if possible via the windscreen.
When there is sufficient reception of GPS signals, the symbol of a dish
antenna appears in the main menu in the upper right-hand corner of
the display. If the reception is interrupted for a short time, e.g. when
driving through a tunnel, the symbol flashes.
Important:
Please note that heat insulation glass with vapor depos-
X
ited metal layer blocks signals from outside to inside and
vice versa. Take a look at the vehicle documents to find out
about its equipment, as regards the windows.
Check the GPS reception of the system, before you firmly
X
install the installation pad.
GPS reception is usually impaired in underground garages
X
and in roofed parking areas.
