memory card…

Detailed instructions on transmitting maps to the memory card

may be found in the separate manual in the enclosure.

On your MobileNavigator DVD 1, you will find the Installer-

Tool which guides you through the map transmitting procedure.

You will need a PC to transmit maps from the DVD to a memory

card. We recommend using a card reader as this works much

faster than transmitting data via an ActiveSync connection.

Note: Maps for which you have not purchased the right of use

must be licensed. You may transmit maps without license to a

memory card, but you may not use them for navigation and

route planning purposes.

The Installer-Tool allows you to purchase map licenses.

Proceed as follows:

1. Insert the MobileNavigator DVD 1 into your DVD - drive.

2. The Installer-Tool Starts automatically. Follow the

instructions on the screen.

Note: In case the Installer-Tool does not start automatically,

start the Windows-Explorer. Select the directory of your DVD

drive and double-click the "Setup.exe" file.

2.1.4 Restoring the files of the memory card

Survey In case you have lost or damaged the provided memory card,

you will find all files, which are necessary for restore on your

MobileNavigator DVD 1.

You will need a PC for restoring the files. You may transmit the

files via an ActiveSync connection or via a card reader.

Note: ActiveSync must be installed on your PC. For detailed

information, please refer to the manual of your PNA.

Restore the files of

the memory card…

1. Connect your PC and your Pocket PC via ActiveSync.

2. Insert the MobileNavigator DVD-ROM 1 into your DVD -

drive.

3. The Installer-Tool Starts automatically. Follow the

instructions on the screen.

Note: In case the Installer-Tool does not start automatically,

start the Windows-Explorer. Select the directory of your DVD

drive and double-click the "Setup.exe" file.

that safe driving is granted.

Note: You need not execute steps 1 and 2 if you want to mount

the holder on your windscreen.

Mounting the

holder...

1. Remove the lamination sheet from the adhesion plate.

2. Stick the adhesion plate at a convenient place on the

dashboard. Make sure that the surface of the dashboard is

clean and dry and press the plate forcefully on its place.

Note: Do not charge the plate for the first 24 hours in order

to grant its hold.

3. Attach the cradle of the device to the swan-neck mount.

Note: Take notice of the inscription on the swan-neck mount.

The arrow with the inscription close must show in snap-on

direction. The connection must snap on audibly.

- 12 - The basic principle of navigation

2.3 The basic principle of navigation

MobileNavigator The time of complicated and frustrating inquiries on the right way

in folded maps is over. From now on MobileNavigator, your

navigation system, will guide you, based on satellite information,

quickly and safely to your destination.

GPS-based

navigation

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has originally been

developed in the 70ies, as a weapon guidance system for the

American forces.

The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the

earth and which are permanently emitting signals. The GPS

receiver receives these signals and calculates, based on the

runtime of the signals, his distance from the respective satellites.

This information serves for calculation your current geographic

position.

The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine

the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four

satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination

has an accuracy of about 3 yards.

Navigation with GPS The delivered maps contain the geographic coordinates of the

points of interest, streets and towns they represent. Thus the

navigation system can calculate a route from a given start point

to a given destination point.

In case your navigation system receives the signals of at least

three satellites it may determine your current position and

represent it on the map. This position may then serve as start

point for navigation purposes.

As the determination and representation of your position is

carried out once a second, you may watch your movements on

the map.

Traffic information

with TMC)

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) provides the navigation

system with the latest traffic information. An external TMC

receiver, which is connected to your PNA receives these signals

broadcasted by radio stations.

TMC Operating mode The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is based on a news

system. Traffic information is recorded continually this is done

automatically by sensors on the motorways and by the police.

This information is then forwarded to the radio stations without

delay. It is digitally coded, differentiated according to routes and

driving directions and transmitted inaudibly.

The TMC-receiver extracts the TMC data from the RDS signal and

provides the navigation software with them. Current traffic

obstructions may then be displayed.

The reported obstructions may be considered for route

calculation. In case of obstructions on the computed itinerary,

they may be used for computing an alternative route, which

evades the obstruction.

MobileNavigator features dynamic navigation, which is well

adapted to the current traffic situation.

2.4 Important safety information

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

information carefully before starting up your navigation system.

2.4.1 Safety information on navigation

Use of MobileNavigator is executed at your own risk.

Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents please do

not operate the navigation system while driving!

Caution: You must not look at the display except when it is

absolutely safe to do so!

Caution: The road layout and the traffic signs are absolutely

prior to the instructions of the navigation system.

Caution: You must not follow the instructions of

MobileNavigator except when the circumstances and the road

traffic regulations allow doing so. MobileNavigator will guide

you to your destination even when you have left your planned

itinerary.

Note: We recommend effecting route planning before beginning

the journey. If you are on the road and you want to establish a

new itinerary, please drive to the next parking site!

Note: If you have not understood the instructions or if you are

not sure about what to do next you may quickly refer to the map

or arrow view of your navigation system.

- 14 - Important safety information

2.4.2 Safety information on handling the PNA

Caution: As it is not waterproof, do not expose your navigation

device to water! For example, protect it from rain, snow or hail

when you are on your way by bike or on foot.

Caution: Disconnect the navigation device from the power

supply when you are leaving the car parked for a long period of

time. Failure to do so might result in a dead battery since the

internal GPS receiver constantly consumes electricity.

Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the PNA. A

damp, lint-free cloth is sufficient!

Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the

cable!

2.4.3 Safety information on the installation in the vehicle

Caution: Do not fix the holder within the deployment zone of

airbags.

Caution: When you install the holder, please check that it may

not constitute any safety risk, even in case of an accident.
