Getting Started; Installation - VDO PN 4000 Quick Start Manual

Getting started

Before you can switch on the navigation system
for the first time, you must insert the battery.
This is done by performing the following steps:
• Open the battery compartment.
• Push the battery into the battery compart-
ment with the connection contacts facing
downwards. You can now close the battery
compartment.
• Connect the navigation system to the 12 V
power supply in your vehicle. The battery
will now start to charge. It takes approx.
8 hours to fully charge the battery.
The battery life without an external power
source for the PN 4000 is approx. 5 hours for
navigation and approx. 2 hours for DVB-T
use (PN 6000: approx. 6 hours for navigation
and approx. 4 hours for DVB-T). In addition,
the battery life depends on the display
brightness you have set.
• Insert the supplied SD card containing the maps into the SD card slot.
The battery must only be charged whilst someone is monitoring it. Do not open the
battery with force as this may release corrosive acids. Damaged batteries or batteries
that are past their expiry date should no longer be used and should be disposed of in
a safe and suitable way.

Installation

• Before attaching the cradle to the front windscreen, you should clean the area on the
windscreen to remove grease and dust.
• Differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures and/or humidity and mois-
ture can break the vacuum seal under the suction cup of the cradle. You should therefore
attach the navigation system so that it will not be damaged if it falls off the windscreen.
As a precautionary measure, you should detach the navigation system at night.
• Please do not use any cleaning agents or detergents to clean the screen and case of the
device. The best method is to use a soft, damp cloth.
The device must not be attached in a way that obscures the view. Nor should the
device be attached within the area in which the airbags open or within reach of the
head or knees in the event of a collision.
Secure the device so that it will not slide around in the event of emergency braking or
a collision.
