GPS (Global Positioning System)
12
GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position. With the help of 24 satellites
revolving around the earth, it is possible to determine your position on earth with the
accuracy of a few meters. The satellite signals are received by the antenna of the built-in
GPS receiver, which must have a "line of sight" to at least 4 of these.
• Note: By limited line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in woods or also in vehicles
with metal-coated windows) it is not possible to determine the position.
The satellite reception however automatically picks up again as soon as the obstacle
has been passed and there line of sight is reestablished again.
The GPS receiver consumes additional power. This is especially of concern, when running
on batteries.
To conserve power do not turn on the GPS receiver unnecessarily.
However, you can also switch the device off by means of the ON/OFF switch in the case
of a shorter interruption to your journey. Pressing the same switch again will activate a
restart. The GPS receiver will also be reactivated at the same time, if navigation software
is still active.
Here, it can take a short time for the position to be updated again, according to the reception
situation.
• Note: Please note that your appliance is preset to not shut down automatically after a
few minutes without activity. You can Change this preset in the Settings mode.
• If the GPS receiver has not been active for some hours, it must orientate itself again.
This process may take a while.
Memory Card Quick Installation
This option is only available to you if your navigation system is equipped with a prepared
memory card. In this case, you will ready be able to use the Navigation function of your
device after a short time, without carrying out the pre-installation on a PC.
• The initial setting up must be carried out as described on page 16 in any case.
• The following installation limits the Navigation to the area which is pre-installed on your
memory card.
You must carry out these steps to put the navigation into operation in your car:
1. Read and adhere to the safety instructions on p.2 and following and p.23 and following.
2. Install the remaining components of the navigation system.
3. Press the Sleep/Wake up Button to start your navigation system. If the instructions of
Step1 have not yet been executed, then do it now. The battery should be charged. The
accumulator will be charged by means of the car power supply if necessary.
• Insert the pre-installed memory card in the navigation system.
The installation of the navigation software will start automatically.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTES:
• The memory card must always be inserted into the device during the use of the navigation
system. A Soft Reset will have to be carried out to restart the navigation system, if the
memory card is removed during its use, even for a short time.
• The software installation will have to be carried out again following a Hard Reset.
• Carry out a Hard Reset initially, if you want to reinstall the navigation software.
Set the date and time by means of the Settings button and the date/time control button,
if this has not yet taken place. Set the applicable time zone, if available.
