Start Up
The SD Card comes complete with digital mapping and is also where the AURA™
camera database is stored if you choose to subscribe and download it.
Start by moving the ‘Batt. ON/OFF’ switch located on the back of the unit to the ‘ON’
position. Switch on the device by pressing and holding the standby power button
located on the top of the unit for 2 seconds. Press the ‘Navi’ icon. When the ‘Navi’ icon
is pressed the 8 Series will automatically synchronise with the SD Card. Once the
synchronisation is completed, the SD Card will not function with any other device.
8 Series is now ready to navigate and the camera database can be downloaded if
necessary.
Please note that if the unit does not activate when you press and hold the standby power button for 2 seconds it may require
charging. Refer to the section ‘Charging the internal battery’ later in this manual.

Software Installation Instructions
Place the Software CD into a CD ROM or DVD drive. Your PC should automatically open a window displaying the instructions for
installing the software. Follow the instructions onscreen to install the speed camera updater software.
To launch the CD manually: Click on ‘Start’ and then ‘Run’. In the dialogue box that opens click on ‘Browse’ – another dialogue box
will open. Locate your CD ROM or DVD drive (drive letter is normally D) using the ‘Look in’ option and select ‘8 Series’ from the lower

then ‘All Programs’ and select the updater program to start it. Select your ‘Language’, ‘Vehicle Type’ and ‘Download Settings’ when
prompted.
