FIRST STEPS
Please make sure that the battery of your device is fully charged.
• Switch on the unit and tap on NAVI or NAVIGATION in the first screen.
Choosing a language
If more than one language is available on your device, you are prompted to choose
your language.
• Click on the flag representing your country/language.
• On the following screen, choose the voice skins used for the voice
commands during navigation (e.g. female or male voice).
Safety precautions
Next, a screen with safety precautions will be shown.
• Read those safety precautions.
• Mark the Hide at startup checkbox to hide these notes for future
start-ups.
• Press the forward arrow.
Set time
Your PND is able to automatically determine the time through the GPS signal. For this
purpose, you need to set your time zone.

GPS connection
Your PND uses GPS technology for navigation. Your device receives signals from a
number of GPS satellites in order to determine your current position.
• Place your PND in a position with an unobstructed view to the sky to set up
your first satellite connection. In the car this will usually be on the
dashboard.
It may take up to 10 minutes to establish the first connection. Subsequent
connections will be faster (30 seconds to 1 minute), but if you have not used
the unit for several days or are very far away from the last location you used
it, it may take up to 5 minutes again to find a strong signal.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
This chapter describes the functions of your Personal Navigation Device in detail. On
the following pages you will learn how to
- Use the map (see page 8)
- Find and choose locations (see page 10)
- Navigate to your destination (see page 20)

Using the map
The map is the core component of your Personal Navigation Device. It will be centred

browse the map, display information about the different locations shown on it and e.g.
choose them for routing and navigating.
Tracking mode and selection mode
The map knows two basic states, the tracking and the selection mode.
In the tracking mode, the map follows your actual position (GPS position), displaying
information about your geographic position, your speed, etc:
