Note:
Hold the navigation system vertically to obtain a better GPS signal. If necessary,
you can pivot the GPS antenna upwards to improve the reception.
GPS Quality
The quality of the GPS signal is indicated by the colour of the word
GPS
:
Red
Insufficient signal quality, less than 3 satellites found.
Yellow
Sufficient signal quality, less than 5 satellites. Still not enough to determine altitude.
Green
Good signal quality, which also allows altitude to be calculated. At least 5 satellites
found.
Satellite Searching / GPS Resetting
If the navigation system was not used for several weeks, or if it was relocated se-
veral kilometres while switched off, the search of the current GPS position could
be very long. Therefore, for accelerating the entire process, it is recommended to
reset the GPS receiver. In this case, the current GPS position will be identified wi-
thout regard to previously stored data. Proceed as follows:
•
Take the navigation system outdoor where there is an unhindered view of the sky.
•
Choose the
Adjustment
option in the main menu.
•
Move the arrow to the following
Adjustment
screen, choose the
Data link
field.
•
Then use the
Reset
button.
•
A safety question will be shown on the display whether you really want to reset the GPS
receiver.
•
If you choose the
No
option, no reset will be made.
•
If you choose the
Yes
option, the GPS receiver will be reset. Information on GPS will be
shown on the following screen. The current position will be determined. If the
GPS quality
column is displayed in green colour, the navigation system is again ready
for use.
Note:
If you are using the navigation system in an inner-city area, it may take longer
to load maps and navigation information. This is due to the large number of roads and
additional information (e.g. hotels, restaurants) as well as the high-density housing ar-
eas. Furthermore it may take longer to establish the GPS reception if you have just
driven out of an underground car park or another type of building where GPS signals
are blocked.
TMC (only MS 2100 Traffic)
During navigation the system regularly accesses the latest TMC traffic informa-
tion in the background, provided that this information is available in the country
you are in. The TMC status is indicated by the colour on the
TMC
button:
Green
TMC reception is OK and there are no traffic jams at the moment.
Yellow
TMC reception is OK. There are some traffic jams at the moment but not on
the calculated route.
Red
TMC reception is OK. Traffic jam(s) on the route.
Note:
To receive TMC messages, the antenna provided with the package must be con-
nected to the system MS 2100 Traffic. The antenna with suckers should be placed on
glass and fixed.
