03 Operating the Navigation Software
3.3 Software keyboard
A software keyboard appears at the bottom of the
screen when text entries are necessary.
All entries can be made on the software keyboard
using your fingertips. Only capital letters can be
entered.
When entering the name of a town or street, it is not
necessary to enter any special characters or umlauts.
P´ 9611 replaces these characters automatically. If,
for example, you are searching for “Würzburg”, then
simply enter “WURZBURG”. You need not enter
special characters when entering a destination’s
town or street name, but they may be helpful for
entering names for saved destinations and
itineraries.

There are many cases where you have to select an
entry from a list. This is the case, for example, when
you enter a location.
As soon as you enter the first letter, the largest city
in the given country that begins with this letter
appears.
As soon as you enter the second letter, a list
appears with all locations that begin with the given
letters.
If you enter additional letters, the list adapts to your
entries. This means that you will always be
presented with entries that begin with the letters
entered or entries that contain the entered letters in
their name.
To select an entry, proceed as follows:
1. You can move around in the list by means of the
UP and
DOWN buttons.
2. Touch the desired entry. The list will close as
soon as you have confirmed an entry.

4.1.1 Initialising the GPS receiver
!
Note: It can take up to 30 minutes to initialize
the GPS receiver for the first time.
Each time you switch on the receiver after this,
the GPS reception will start within one minute.
The next initialisation may take up to 30
minutes if the navigation device was not used
for a longer period of time, and/or the last
destination to which you navigated lies more
than 190 miles from your present location.
As soon as the navigation device has been switched
on, initialization of the GPS receiver will begin.
In the right-hand top corner of the display, you will
see the GPS symbol. As soon as data from at least
3 satellites are received, the symbol changes to
GPS READY (red).

(red) after considerably less than 20 minutes, it
is advisable to switch off the receiver for at
least 15 minutes so as to ensure reliable
operation.
