GPS is a satellite-based system for
determining your position. With the help
of more than 24 satellites revolving around
the earth, it is possible to determine your
position on earth with an accuracy of a
few meters. The satellite signals are
received by the antenna of the integrated
GPS receiver, which must have a “line of
sight” to at least 4 satellites.
• Note: By limited line of sight access
(e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in
woods or also in vehicles with metal-
coated windows) it is impossible to
determine the position. The satellite
reception automatically picks up again
as soon as the obstacle has been
passed and the line of sight is
established again.
The GPS receiver consumes additional
power. This is especially of concern when
running on batteries. To save power do
not switch on the GPS receiver
unnecessarily.
You can also switch off the device by
means of the sleep/wake button in case
of a shorter interruption to your journey.
Pressing the same button again will
perform a restart. At the same time, the
GPS receiver will also be reactivated if
the navigation software is still running.
Here, it can take a short time for the
position to be updated, according to the
reception situation.
• Note: Please note that your device is
preset not to shut down automatically
after a few minutes without activity. You
can change this default in the settings
mode.
• If the GPS receiver has not been active
for some hours, it must orientate itself
again. This process may take some
minutes.
Memory Card Quick Installation
This option will only be available to you
if your navigation system is equipped with
a prepared memory card. In this case,
you will be able to use the navigation
function of your device after a short time,
without carrying out the pre-installation
on a PC.
• In any case, the initial setup must be
performed as described on page 15.
• The following installation limits the
navigation to the area which is pre-
installed on your memory card.
You must perform these steps to put the
navigation into operation in your car:
1.Read and adhere to the safety
instructions on page 2 and the following.
2.Install the remaining components of the
navigation system.
3.Press the sleep/wake button to start
your navigation system. If the
instructions of Step 1 have not yet been
performed, then do it now. The battery
should be charged. If necessary, charge
the battery by means of the car power
supply.
• Insert the pre-installed memory card in
the navigation system. The installation
of the navigation software starts
automatically. Follow the instructions
on the screen.
NOTES:
• The memory card must always be
inserted in the device during the use of
the navigation system. A soft reset will
have to be performed to restart the
navigation system if the memory card
is removed during its use, even for a
short time.
• After a hard reset, the software will
have to be installed again.
• Perform a hard reset initially, if you want
to reinstall the navigation software.
Now set date and time by means of the
settings button and the date/time control
button if this has not yet been done. Set
the applicable time zone if available.
