2.3 Preparing NAVIGON 7100 | 7110 for use

2.3.1 Charging the rechargeable battery

It is possible that the rechargeable battery is not fully charged when you

remove it from the packaging. We recommend that you fully charge the

battery before using the device for the first time.

► Press the mains socket adapter provided into the designated slot on

the mains adapter until it locks into place.

► Connect the mains adapter to the navigation device and to a mains

socket.

The LED of the NAVIGON 7100 | 7110 lights orange during charging.

The LED lights green when the NAVIGON 7100 | 7110 is fully charged.

Note: It takes approx. 4-5 hours to charge the device when the battery

is flat.

A fully charged battery enables 4 hours of use.

2.3.2 Inserting a memory card

► Insert the memory card provided into the device (see image). Press

the card into the device until it locks into place.

Removing the memory card

1. Switch the navigation device off by pressing the

(On/Off/Standby

) switch for at least 6 seconds.

2. Press the memory card gently into the device until the lock

disengages.

User's manual NAVIGON 7100 | 7110

- 10 - Before you begin

2.3.3 Preparing the navigation system for use

Caution! Please be sure to refer to the safety information in chapter

"Important safety information" on page 11.

Securing the cradle

1. Clean that part of the windscreen to which you would like to secure

the cradle. The windscreen must be dry and free of dirt and grease.

2. Using the suction cup, fix the cradle provided to the windscreen.

The cradle should be as level as possible.

3. Press the lever on the suction cup down.

Securing the navigation device to the cradle

The navigation device is secured to the cradle by means of a bayonet

fitting. This connection functions in a similar way to attaching a lens to a

camera or putting the lid on a pressure cooker.

1. Place the navigation device on the bayonet in such a way that the

lugs on the bayonet ring correspond exactly with the recesses on

the cradle. This is achieved by rotating it approx. 45° to the left.

2. Turn the navigation device clockwise until the bayonet fitting locks

into place.

3. Adjust the navigation device so that it can be seen easily.

Supplying power to the navigation device

Included in delivery of the NAVIGON 7100 | 7110 is a car charger cable

with which power can be supplied to the navigation device via the

vehicle's cigarette lighter.

The car charger cable is connected to the NAVIGON 7100 | 7110 via

the mini-USB-socket

on the bottom of the device.

User's manual NAVIGON 7100 | 7110

Before you begin - 11 -

Caution! The car charger cable is to be connected to cigarette lighters

with an operating voltage of 12V only.

Connecting the TMC-antenna

The NAVIGON 7100 | 7110 has an integrated TMC-receiver. For

optimal reception, you should use the TMC-antenna provided.

1. Connect the TMC-antenna to the headset socket

on the

bottom of the NAVIGON 7100 | 7110.

2. Secure the antenna to the windscreen using the suction cups.

2.4 Navigation with GPS

GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that circle the earth and, in

doing so, are constantly transmitting their position and time. The GPS

receiver receives this data and calculates its own geographical position

on the basis of the information transmitted by the various satellites.

For a sufficiently precise positioning it is necessary to obtain the data

from at least three satellites. With the data from 4 or more satellites the

altitude above sea level can also be ascertained. The determination has

an accuracy of about 3 yards.

Once the navigation device has determined your position, this position

can be used as a starting point for route calculation.

The map data on your navigation device includes the geographical

coordinates of all digitally recorded points of interest, streets and

places. This enables the device to calculate a route between a starting

point and a destination.

The calculation of the current position and its representation on the map

takes place once every second. So your current position is always

shown on the map.

2.5 Important safety information

In your own interest, please read the following notices and safety

information carefully before starting up your navigation system.

2.5.1 Navigation safety information

Use navigation system at your own risk.

Caution! To prevent accidents, do not operate the navigation system

while driving.

User's manual NAVIGON 7100 | 7110

Caution! Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe to do so!

Caution! Traffic regulations have priority over any instructions from the

navigation system.

Caution! Only follow the instructions of the navigation system when the

circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow you to do so! The

navigation system will guide you to your destination even if you deviate

from the calculated route.

Caution! Check that the cradle is secured and adjusted properly before

each journey.

Note: If you have not understood the spoken instructions, or you're not

sure about what to do next, you can refer briefly to the map or arrow

view of your navigation system.

2.5.2 Safety information for the navigation device

Caution! Protect the device from moisture. The device is neither

waterproof nor is it protected against splash water.

Caution! Unplug the navigation device's power supply when you park

the vehicle. The navigation device requires power in standby-modus,

and may drain the vehicle's battery.

Caution! Do not open the navigation device's casing under any

circumstances.

Caution! Do not expose the navigation device to extreme heat or cold.

This may damage the device or impair its function.

Caution! Use only the charger provided or one that has been approved

of by the manufacturer.

Connect the charger to a suitable power supply. The voltage

requirements can be found on the device case and/or the packaging.

Note: Ensure that there are no kinks in the cable and that it will not be

damaged by any sharp objects.

Note: To clean the navigation device, use a moist cloth only .

User's manual NAVIGON 7100 | 7110

Before you begin - 13 -

Note: Do not unplug by pulling on the cable. Doing so could damage

the cable!

Note: If you want to transport the navigation device, use the cover

provided in order to protect the touchscreen from scratches.

Note: Create a backup of the data contained on the memory card

provided. This is very easy to do with the NAVIGON Fresh software

which can be downloaded free of charge from our website

www.navigon.com

.

Note: The memory card must remain inserted in the device during

operation of the navigation system.

Note: Use SD- or MMC-memory cards only! Ensure that memory card

contacts are clean and undamaged.

2.5.3 Safety guidelines when installing in your car

Caution! Secure the cradle and the TMC-antenna in such a way that

the driver's visibility is not impaired.

Caution! Do not attach the cradle within the deployment zone of

airbags.

Caution! When installing the cradle, ensure that it does not represent a

risk in the event of an accident.

Caution! Do not run cables directly next to safety-relevant devices and

power supplies.

Caution! After installation, check all safety-relevant equipment in the

car.

Caution! The car charger cable is to be connected to cigarette lighters

with an operating voltage of 12V only.
