GPS (Global Positioning System)
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
BATTERY ON/OFF
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
