Safety Advice and Important Information
Before you start to mount and use this navigation system, please familiarise yourself with its
various components and functions. Furthermore, please read through the safety instructions
carefully to avoid causing injury to yourself and/or other road users.
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 cur-
rent traffic conditions always have priority.
For safety reasons, you should install the device and enter the required information in
the navigation system before you start your journey or when your vehicle is stationary.
If you decide to install the device in your vehicle using a mount, please be aware of
the following: On no account should the screen be adjusted by moving the device it-
self. Position the screen so that you are able to glance at the display quickly and easily.
The device should also be positioned in a way that avoids reflections and glare from
the screen. The screen should not be installed/positioned in a place that obstructs your
view of things that are necessary for driving the vehicle (e.g. the view of the road or
the vehicle's instruments). The screen should also not be positioned within the area di-
rectly in front of the airbag as this may prevent the airbag from inflating. Make sure
the device is sufficiently secure so that it will not become dislodged even in the event
of emergency braking or a collision.
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 values are calculated for information displayed in the system's “on board compu-
ter”: the current speed, journey time and covered distance. However the accuracy of
these values cannot be guaranteed in every case. The actual speed can always be de-
termined by reading the vehicle's speedometer.

The navigation system does not take the relative safety of the suggested routes into
consideration. Road closures, roadworks, height and weight restrictions, traffic and
weather conditions, or other factors that can influence the safety and the journey time
of the route are not taken into consideration for the suggested routes. Use your own
judgement to check the suitability of the suggested routes. If required, use the “Recal-
culate” function to calculate alternatives to the original route. Alternatively take the
road you prefer and the software will automatically perform a re-routing (i.e. calcu-
late a new route based on your new position).
In certain areas, one-way streets, turning restrictions and no entry signs (e.g. pedestri-
an zones) cannot be accounted for. In such situations, pay particular attention to the
road signs and rules of the road that apply.
If you need the help of the emergency services (police, fire, ambulance etc), do not rely
exclusively on the navigation system. Act in a way that you consider to be suitable and
sensible in order to receive help in such a situation.
Do not subject the navigation system to high temperatures or extreme exposure to
sunlight. Temperatures over 50 °C can severely damage the navigation system, espe-
cially the lithium ion battery. The battery should only be charged if someone is moni-
toring the device. Do not open the battery with force as this may release corrosive
acids. Damaged batteries or batteries that are past their expiry date should no longer
be used and should be disposed of in a safe and suitable way.
Never expose the navigation system to humidity as this can result in damage. It is es-
pecially important to protect the navigation system from getting wet if you are on a
motorcycle, bicycle or in a convertible car. This is because the device is not splash-
proof.
Avoid touching the screen with sharp or rough-edged objects as these can damage the
sensitive touchscreen display.
GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite-based system that supports geographical
and time-related information all around the world. The system is operated and con-
trolled by the United States of America. The USA is also responsible for the availability
and accuracy of this system. All changes to the GPS availability and accuracy as well as
other factors from the surrounding environment can influence the operation of the
navigation system. SVDO Trading GmbH does not accept any liability whatsoever for
the availability and accuracy of GPS data.
Please ensure that every person intending to use the navigation system reads this safe-
ty information and the recommendations for operating the system beforehand.
Before attaching the mount to the front windscreen, you should clean, with the cloth
provided or benzene, the area of the windscreen that you wish to stick the suction cup
to. This is to remove grease and dust from the area.
Differences between daytime and nighttime temperatures and/or humidity and mois-
ture can break the vacuum seal under the suction cup. Therefore you should attach the
navigation system so that it will not cause any damage if it fell off the windscreen. As
a precautionary measure, you should detach the navigation system at night. Before
the start-up it is necessary to check the fixing of the holder.
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.
Maintenance and Cleaning
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.

GPS Reception
When you switch on the device for the first time, it can take several minutes for the GPS re-
ception to reach a sufficient level and to determine your current position. If you are unable
to obtain a sufficient GPS signal, please read the “Troubleshooting” chapter for suggestions
on solving the problem.
Con
f
iguration
Press the on-off switch for about 3 seconds to
switch on the navigation system. The system
boots and the battery starts to charge.
When you switch on the device for the first
time, you may have to select the desired lan-
guage for the navigation instructions as well as
the country map.
Confirm your settings with OK.
As soon as the system is ready, the main selec-
tion menu will appear on the screen.
The GPS reception can be checked by
doing the following:
Tap the Settings buttons. Here you will see a
range of settings including Data Link.
Tap OK.
The following information is shown: GPS sig-
nal quality, number of GPS satellites currently
being received, latitude and longitude of cur-
rent position, current altitude.
Configuration
MS2000-2100Traffic.book Seite 29 Mittwoch, 4. Januar 2006 3:02 15
30
Note: Hold the navigation system vertically to obtain a better GPS signal. If necessary,
you can pivot the GPS antenna upwards to improve the reception.
GPS Quality
The quality of the GPS signal is indicated by the colour of the word GPS:
Red Insufficient signal quality, less than 3 satellites found.
YellowSufficient signal quality, less than 5 satellites. Still not enough to determine altitude.
Green Good signal quality, which also allows altitude to be calculated. At least 5 satellites
found.
Satellite Searching / GPS Resetting
If the navigation system was not used for several weeks, or if it was relocated se-
veral kilometres while switched off, the search of the current GPS position could
be very long. Therefore, for accelerating the entire process, it is recommended to
reset the GPS receiver. In this case, the current GPS position will be identified wi-
thout regard to previously stored data. Proceed as follows:
Take the navigation system outdoor where there is an unhindered view of the sky.
Choose the Adjustment option in the main menu.
Move the arrow to the following Adjustment screen, choose the Data link field.
Then use the Reset button.
A safety question will be shown on the display whether you really want to reset the GPS
receiver.
If you choose the No option, no reset will be made.
If you choose the Yes option, the GPS receiver will be reset. Information on GPS will be
shown on the following screen. The current position will be determined. If the
GPS quality column is displayed in green colour, the navigation system is again ready
for use.
Note: If you are using the navigation system in an inner-city area, it may take longer
to load maps and navigation information. This is due to the large number of roads and
additional information (e.g. hotels, restaurants) as well as the high-density housing ar-
eas. Furthermore it may take longer to establish the GPS reception if you have just
driven out of an underground car park or another type of building where GPS signals
are blocked.
TMC (only MS 2100 Traffic)
During navigation the system regularly accesses the latest TMC traffic informa-
tion in the background, provided that this information is available in the country
you are in. The TMC status is indicated by the colour on the TMC button:
Green TMC reception is OK and there are no traffic jams at the moment.
Yellow TMC reception is OK. There are some traffic jams at the moment but not on
the calculated route.
Red TMC reception is OK. Traffic jam(s) on the route.
Note: To receive TMC messages, the antenna provided with the package must be con-
nected to the system MS 2100 Traffic. The antenna with suckers should be placed on
glass and fixed.

tween any points and specify the desired route before the trip.
When choosing the starting point and the destination, you can use (new) addresses, favou-
rite destinations, previous destinations, your home address (Home) or “special destina-
tions” (POI). A POI can only be selected if you are in the Addresses mode.
The process of entering and selecting addresses is described in detail in the chapter
Navigation. The on-screen buttons in this area of the display perform the same func-
tions in Route Planner as in Navigation. These buttons and functions are extensively
described in the chapter “Navigation”.
The following section explains all the steps you need to perform: from entering
the address to starting and ending the simulation process.
In the Navigation and Route Planner modes, you can quickly and easily call up
destinations or addresses you have entered before by tapping Previous desti-
nations. This saves you having to type in the information again.

The navigation simulation is stopped and you return to the main selection screen.

PC Map Tool – Additional Map Material
We recommend that you copy the additional map material on the DVD-ROM to one
or more SD cards. The map data will be available to use as soon as you have inserted
the SD card into the slot. Here it not necessary to modify the map data contained in
the internal memory of the navigation system - the original configuration remains un-
changed!
If you have a SD card reader/writer, you can copy the additional map material directly
from the DVD-ROM to the SD card (to the folder tb-navi)!
PC Map Tool
You can connect the navigation system to your PC and then copy additional map material
with the PC Map Tool (included on the DVD-ROM) to the internal memory of the device or
to a SD card (optional). You will need to install Microsoft
®
ActiveSync
®
(included on the
DVD-ROM) on your PC. Use the USB data cable supplied with the navigation system to con-
nect the device to your PC. Please connect the USB lead to both your PC and navigation sys-
tem before switching ON the system. Hold down the On/Off button for about 3 seconds to
switch the navigation system off. To switch the device back on, hold down the button for
3 second again.

The PC Map Tool allows you to add and delete map data. Please be aware that the se-
lection or transfer of all categories requires a lengthy PC calculating time (many
hours). The length of time will depend on the PC system resources. The navigation sys-
tem does have all European POI data preloaded onto the system, therefore we recom-
mend the selection "Do not change existing data sets on the PND". If at any stage the
POI data on the device is accidently deleted, the recommendation is to select only the
POI categories required, the data processing will then be considerably shorter.
The special feature "Map section plus Major Roads" allows you to create your own
map section within one country or regional map plus the Major Roads of the country
or regional map. Normally this complex operation takes many hours. We recommend
the transfer of the map section without the Country Major Roads. In this case please
select "Only show the network of the trunk roads within the selected region"
Detailed information concerning the navigation software and PC Map Tool are on the
DVD-ROM. Acrobat Reader
®
will be needed to download these features (Acrobat
Reader
®
is included on the DVD-ROM).
Notes on file management at the navigation system
After a connection via the Microsoft
®
ActiveSync
®
software has been established, the navi-
gation system will appear as “Mobile Device” in the file explorer on your PC. The “Resident-
Flash” directory contains the following sub-folders:
Navigator navigation program
System system files
tb-navi You can delete the map data saved in this folder in order to free up memory or
to be able to transfer map data from the DVD-ROM.
Under no circumstances should you delete the folders named Navigator and System.
Doing so can make the navigation system unusable!
A map set always consists of multiple files that begin with the same country name. You
must always copy the complete set of files to the internal memory or to the SD map
(to the folder tb-navi). Similarly when deleting, you must always delete the entire file
set.
The PC Map Tool application installs the data map in the following file on the PC:
../Programme/PC Map Tool/prog.mov/TNSMAPS
Data can be then copied from this file to the SD card.
