Installation - VDO PN 4000 User Manual

Installation

• Before attaching the cradle to the windscreen, clean the relevant windscreen area as
well as the cradle's suction pad, and ensure they are free from grease and dust.
• Differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures and/or humidity and mois-
ture may cause the vacuum under the suction cup to disintegrate. Therefore you should
attach the navigation system so that it will not sustain damage if it falls off the wind-
screen. 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 position 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.
To install the device in the vehicle, proceed as follows:
• Find a suitable place in the vehicle for attaching
the cradle. The screen should be clearly visible from
the driver's seat (with a clear view of the sky) but
the device should not obscure the driver's view.
• Press the suction cup against the windscreen and
push the lever towards the windscreen until it locks
into place.
• Attach the navigation system to the cradle.
Dismounting: To detach the device, move the
lever in the opposite direction and carefully pull
the transparent rubber end of the suction cup to
remove it from the window.
For safety reasons you should install the device and enter the required information in
the system before you start your journey or when your vehicle is stationary.
The use of the navigation system does not under any circumstances release the driver
from his/her personal responsibility. The applicable road traffic regulations and
current traffic conditions always have priority. The information provided by the device
is for orientation purposes only and is not binding.
Always check the information provided by the device (speed, remaining travelling
time, distance, recommended route).
Only look at the screen when it is safe to do so. If you need to look at the screen for a
longer period of time, stop the vehicle at an appropriate and safe place.
The touchscreen must not be operated with sharp or rough-edged objects as these can
damage it.
Furthermore, if you plan to leave the vehicle unattended for a long period of time, you
should remove the navigation system from the vehicle in order to avoid theft.
