INSTALLATION
Resetting The Navigation System
There are two options for resetting the
navigation system.
Soft Reset
This option restarts the navigation system,
without reinstallation being necessary. A
soft-reset is often used in order to
reorganize the memory. In doing so all
programs that are running are interrupted
and the working memory is reinitialized.
Choose this option if your navigation
system is not responding or working
properly.
Perform the soft-reset as follows: Screw
off the end cap of the pointer and carefully
press the point of the end cap into the
reset opening on the left side of your
device.
Safety Instructions for Navigation
The bundled product CD contains a
comprehensive instruction manual.
Tips for Navigation
Do not manipulate the navigation
system while driving to protect yourself
and others from accidents!
In the event that you do not understand
the voice instruction or if you are in any
doubt about what to do at the next
intersection, then the map or arrow
display will provide you with a quick
orientation. Only look at the display
when you are in a safe driving situation!
Attention: The road layout and driving
rules take precedence over the
instructions of the navigation system.
Only follow the instructions when
circumstances and driving rules permit
it! The navigation system will guide you
to your destination even when you have
to deviate from your planned route.
The direction statements of the
navigation system given do not release
the driver of the vehicle from his or her
duty of care or personal responsibility.
Plan routes before you leave. If you
want to plan a new route whilst on the
road stop driving.
In order to receive the GPS signal
correctly, metal objects may hinder
reception. Attach the navigation system
onto the inside of the windscreen or
near the windscreen with the sucker.
Try out different positions in your vehicle
in order to find the best reception.
