General Information

About these operating instructions

These operating instructions were written to provide you with information on the oper-

ation and functions of your TravelPilot DX-V and to allow you to operate the equip-

ment easily and correctly.

Please read these instructions carefully before you use your TravelPilot DX-V for the

first time and keep them handy for future reference in the car.

To allow you to find information quickly and easily, the following icons have been used

in these instructions to indicate the individual steps:

1. … This icon indicates steps you must perform in order to complete a function.

✔ The way in which the equipment should react after you perform a function is

indicated like this.

Plus Point: This indicates special information and tips on how to use the

TravelPilot DX-V.

Note

If you decided in favour of the version equipped with the wide vision TV

monitor, you will find separate operating instructions for the monitor

enclosed.

Accessories

RC 09 infrared steering-wheel remote control

RC 09 infrared steering-wheel remote control allows you to conveniently operate the

TravelPilot DX-V directly from the steering wheel.

TMC D-Namic tuner box

For dynamic navigation (automatic detours around traffic congestion), the TravelPilot

DX-V must be connected to a TMC source (Traffic Message Channel). It is possible to

purchase a “TMC D-Namic tuner box” as an accessory to receive TMC data.

RC 09 infrared steering-wheel remote control

You can also use the TMC data received by a Blaupunkt car radio. To find out which

Blaupunkt car radios are equipped to receive TMC data and relay this information to

the TravelPilot DX-V, please contact your Blaupunkt specialist dealer or ring the Blau-

punkt telephone hotline. The hotline number is listed on the last page of these instruc-

tions.

How navigation works

Your TravelPilot DX-V uses GPS, a satellite-supported locating system, to determine

the current position of the vehicle. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a sys-

tem which can be used to reliably determine your location anywhere in the world. A

“gyroscope” and the electronic speedometer signal are also used to track the vehi-

cle’s movements. The TravelPilot DX-V navigation system compares this data with

the data stored in digital form on the navigation CD-ROM and uses it to calculate the

routes in route guidance.

If the TravelPilot DX-V is connected to a TMC source (“TMC D-Namic tuner box” or

appropriately equipped car radio), it will be able to take the current traffic situation into

account when calculating the route. For more information on TMC, please refer to the

section on “Dynamic Route Guidance with TMC”.

Switching the unit on

If the TravelPilot DX-V has been properly connected to the vehicle ignition and contin-

uous plus, the TravelPilot DX-V will switch on automatically when you start your vehi-

cle.

General Information

Allgemeines Kurzanlei- TourenZieleingabe Zielspeicher Einstellun-

Operating introduction

When the system is started for the first time, an operating introduction explaining the

functions of the remote control will appear. Then you can select whether or not this

introduction is shown each time the TravelPilot DX-V is switched on.

Plus Point: You can activate or deactivate the operating introduction at any

time in the “Settings” menu. For more information, please refer to the section

on “Settings”, “Switching the operating introduction on/off”.

Theft protection system

It is possible to activate a coding for your TravelPilot DX-V so that the TravelPilot

DX-V cannot be operated after it has been disconnected from the battery (e.g. in the

event that it is stolen).

If the coding is active, it will be necessary to enter the code number before the unit

can be operated again after it has been disconnected from the battery. You will find

the code number in the TravelPilot DX-V equipment passport. Never keep this pass-

port in your vehicle!

For more information on activating/deactivating the coding and how to switch on cod-

ed equipment after it has been disconnected from the battery, please refer to the

section on “Settings”, “Activating/deactivating the safety code”.

Plus Point: This electronic theft protection system prevents unauthorised

persons from using the TravelPilot DX-V after it has been removed from the

vehicle.

Switching off

For technical reasons it is not possible to switch off the TravelPilot DX-V computer.

However, if required, you can switch off the display by pressing the blue button 5 on

the monitor. Spoken driving recommendations are played even if the display is switched

off. The display can be switched on again by pressing the blue button 5 once more.
