Your navigation system will use a low amount of electricity and the batteries will be dis- charged, even when in standby mode. The final installation of the navigation software will take place automatically from the in- ternal memory, during the initial set up, if your device has already been equipped with the basic data of the navigation software at the factory.
General Operating Instructions Switching on/off the device Your device will be in its normal operating state after the initial set up. You can activate and deactivate your device with the On-/Off switch. 1. To start your navigation system press briefly the On-/Off switch. Note Your device is delivered in a status in which it will not switch off independ- ently.
The device will go into the Standby mode automatically after a few seconds if you do not want to select any of these three possibilities. For further settings within the Standby mode also see the chapter on “Special CleanUp Function”, page 73, point 8. This display will also appear after the delay period of a few seconds has expired, if you have activated the DC AutoSuspend Comfort Function.
Note The password will be displayed in the form of small stars (****). 7. An additional text field will appear after you have entered the password. Enter an information note here that will serve as a support for remembering your password. You will be able to call up this information if you have forgotten or mislaid the password.
SuperPIN and UUID The SuperPIN and the UUID (Universally Unique IDentifier = definite device identification) will appear on the display after you have confirmed the settings. Note Record this data in your Operating Instructions (see Page 1) and keep them in a safe place. You will need this information if you have entered the password incor- rectly 3 times.
Fingerprint Sensor (optional) Your new navigation system is equipped with a fingerprint sensor. Benefits of this technology First of all, it provides extra comfort. You will not have to memorize passwords, because the software manages those for you. Note Store your passwords and access data in a safe place. If you cannot identify yourself by your fingerprint (e.g., when working on someone else's com- puter), you can log in with your access data in the usual way.
Page 30
Repeat this process until the fingerprint has been scanned in successfully several times. You will be requested whether you want to store the fingerprint that has been scanned in the following screen: Confirm with Now, you will be able to log into your device with the stored fingerprint.

GPS (Global Positioning System) GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position. With the help of 24 satel- lites 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"...
Dead Reckoning (gyroscope) The current position can be established momentarily, for driving through a tunnel, for example, with the aid of this function, even without a valid GPS signal. The navigation system will receive the necessary information during the absence of the GPS signal for a short time, to continue to establish the position through an installed mag- netic field and acceleration sensor.
Premium TMC (optional) If your navigation system features premium TMC, you will obtain more accurate TMC information provided by NAVTEQ Traffic. Your MEDION GoPal utilizes this information at no extra cost. Depending on your configuration this premium TMC information is made available for the corresponding countries.
Connecting the TMC Dipole Aerial (optional) A TMC receiver is integrated into your navigation system, to receive traffic information. However, reception will only be guaranteed if the TMC angled aerial supplied with the device has been connected. A TMC aerial is integrated into your active holder, so that operation should be guaranteed in conurbations and strong transmission regions, even without an additional projecting aerial.

Working with Memory Cards Inserting Memory Cards Carefully take the optional memory card out of its packing (if included). Take care not to touch or dirty the contacts. Insert the memory card carefully into the card bay with contacts pointing forward. The card must lock easily.
Data Exchange via Card Reader If you wish to copy large quantities of data (MP3 files, navigation maps) to the memory card, these can also be stored directly to the memory card. Many computers already have memory card devices. Insert the card into your computer and copy the data directly to the card.
Alternate method of installing Navigation Software (using a memory card) The software for your navigation system can be installed directly from a memory card. The pre-installed software may have to be uninstalled beforehand (see special Clean Up function, Page 73). You will be requested to install the navigation software during the initial adjustment.
