4 Active external antenna
The active antenna improves satellite reception for mobile use
inside vehicles. Windshields with dark screens may negatively
influence reception. In this case, using an active antenna
resolves the problem. Insert the active antenna’s male MCX
connector into MAP 500’s external antenna connector and
attach to antenna above the roof of the vehicle, on the sun
visor, or somewhere that has a very ample view of the sky.
5 Adaptor for cigarette lighter plug
When applying a voltage between
12 and 26 VDC to this connector,
you provide a power supply to the
receiver and simultaneously
charge the batteries.
6 Detail maps
Various CDs are available (optional), such as the European set
on 2 CDs or the limited version with Germany maps only.
7 Rechargeable Batteries
Two rechargeable Ni-MH high-capacity AA batteries are
supplied.

Installation of a CF memory card and batteries
The MAP 600 has a slot for Compact Flash memory cards (CF
maps) with a capacity up to 512 MT for reading in detailed map
data. We recommend to use only 256 MB map files, because
more data has a bad influence of the functions e.g. the Auto-
Routing.
The GPS needs 2 batteries type AA, which are inserted into the
battery slot. Use only new or fresh batteries.
The following battery types can be used:
a. Alkaline batteries (not rechargeable)
b. rechargeable
Ni-MH-batteries
(nickel metal hydride).
To insert the CF-Card and Batteries switch
of the MAP 600.
1. Open the battery box on the back
by pushing the battery box cover
back at the cover.
2. Decrease to battery box cover.
3. Insert the CF card so that the
inscription side is showing to you
(can vary depending on the CF-
card) into the slot. (The card must
be easily pushed in, otherwise you
have to try it carefully differently).
4. Push the memory card completely
into the slot.
5.
Insert the 2 batteries in
accordance with the polarity
markings into the battery box.
6.
Close the battery box and make
sure that the battery box cover is
totally closed.
