Navigation Device PNA-M4310T
76
TMC Connector
Your navigation device features a built-in TMC receiver
(Traffic Message Control). It can receive FM radio signals
and read broadcast up-to-date traffic jam information.
Whenever necessary, this information is considered for the
route calculation in order to guarantee a journey free of any
traffic jams.
-
Plug the jack-type connector of the supplied TMC
wire antenna [page
61, item
9] into the TMC
receptacle [page
69, item
8] of your navigation
device.
-
Mount the wire antenna on the windshield of your
vehicle by using its suctions pads.
i
TMC information consists of digital signals broadcast
continuously. Therefore they are independent of the
traditional spoken traffic announcements and usually
faster.
Connecting an External GPS Antenna
If required, you can connect a conventional external GPS
antenna to your navigation device. This might be necessary
when using the device in a vehicle with a vertical windshield
(like a truck or bus) obstructing the sight to the sky. Also,
some modern vehicles have a metallised windshield causing
a shield effect to the GPS signals.
The external antenna must have an SMB connector in order
to connect it to the corresponding receptacle [page 69, item
2] on the navigation device.
The device will receive the signals from the additional
antenna automatically: no further settings are required.
