Initial Set-up

The following guides you step by step through the initial set up ofthe navigation system.

Firstly, remove the foil for protecting the device during transpor-

tation from the display.

I. Charging the battery

Attention: It can be necessary to recharge the bat-tery for some time initially before it is possible to runthrough the initial installation, according to the stateof charging of the battery installed.

Please pay attention to the following notes when handling thebattery:

The charging status display lights orangeuntil the naviga-tion system is charged. Do not interrupt the charging proc-ess before the battery is fully charged. This may take a fewhours. The navigation system is fully charged if the chargingdisplay lights green.

You can use the navigation system during the charging

process, but the power supply must not be interrupted dur-ing initial set-up.

To fully charge the built-in battery, the external powersource should remain continuously connected to the device.

You can leave the main adapter connected, and this is veryhandy for continuous operation. Please note, that both thecar adapter as well as the optional power adapter are con-suming power, even when the battery of the navigation

system is not being charged. It can take several minutes until the device is ready to op-

erate again, following the connection of the external powersupply, if the charging state of the battery is very low.

The battery will even be charged while the device isswitched off completely.

Accessing Memory Cards

The appliance only supports memory cards in the FAT16/32file format. If you insert a card prepared with a different for-mat (e.g. in cameras, MP3 players), your navigation systemmay not recognize it and will ask you to format it again.

Warning: Formatting the memory card irretrievablywipes out all data.

Data exchange via card reader

However, if you wish to copy large quantities of data (MP3 files,navigation maps) to the memory card, these can also be storeddirectly to the memory card.

Many computers already have a card reader. Insert the card inthis and copy the data directly to the card.

Because of the direct access you can achieve a much highertransfer rate compared to using ActiveSync.

First-Aid in the Event of Malfunction

Error functions can sometimes have trivial causes; however, theycan also sometimes be complex in nature and require costlyanalysis.

General guidance

Note: The regular running of the Windows pro-grams Defrag and Scandisk on the PC can removesources of error and raise system performance.

Check Connections and Cables

Start with a careful visual check of all cable links. If the LCDs arenot working, make sure that the power is reaching the computerand all peripherals.

Note: Switch off the computer and check all cablelinks. If the computer is connected to peripherals,check also the plug connections of all cables. Do not

arbitrarily swap the cables between various units,even if they appear to be precisely the same. The pinassignments of the cables are likely to be different.Once you have ascertained that the power supply isnot at fault and all connections are intact, switch on thecomputer again.

Faults and Possible Causes

The navigation system no longer reacts or is behavingatypically.

Carry out a soft reset(see page 25).

The navigation system is recognized only as a guest byActiveSync.

See information on page 54.

I am receiving error messages from a maintenance pro-gram after installing ActiveSync.

The program places the WCESCOMM.LOG file in a tempo-rary directory defined by the system, which cannot be de-leted. A respective error message will appear, if another

program attempts to do so.

The GPS receiver cannot be initialized or found.

If a GPS signal continues not to be reported on the screen, in spite ofthe correct installation of the system, this can be caused by the fol-lowing factors:

Sufficient satellite reception is not possible.Solution:Change the position of your navigation system and ensure

that unrestricted sight of the aerial is not impaired.

No language statements can be heard.

Check the volume setting.

5. Follow the instructions on the screen. The program will nowset up a partnership between your PC and the device.

III. Working with Microsoft

ActiveSync

ActiveSyncwill be started automatically if you connect yournavigation system to the PC. The program will check whether thedevice is one with which a partnership has been entered. If this isthe case, the changes that have taken place on the PC and on thenavigation system since the last synchronisation will be comparedand adjusted to each other. You will be able to define exactlywhich data will have priority during the synchronisation in thesettings of the ActiveSyncProgram. Call up the Help of the Pro-gram (with the F1 Button), in order to become familiar with theeffects of the respective settings. A restricted Guest Access, withwhich you will be able to exchange data, for example, will becomeactive automatically if the navigation system has not been recog-nised as a partner. If this is the case, although the process con-cerns the registered partner device, separate your navigation sys-tem from the PC and switch it off and on again. Now connect yournavigation system to the PC, to restart the recognition process.

Repeat the process and, restart your PC in addition, if your devicecontinues to be recognised as a guest.

Note: Make sure that you always connect your navigation systemto your PC with the same USB connection, otherwise your PC willallocate an additional ID and reinstall the device.

Appendix 55

GPS (Global Positioning System)

GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position.With the help of 24 satellites revolving around the earth, it is pos-sible to determine your position on earth with the accuracy of a

few meters. The satellite signals are received by the antenna ofthe built-in GPS receiver, which must have a "line of sight" to atleast 4 of these.

Note: By limited line of sight (e.g. in tunnels, be-tween houses, in woods or also in vehicles withmetal-coated windows) it is not possible to determinethe position. The satellite reception however auto-matically picks up again as soon as the obstacle has

been passed and there line of sight is reestablished again.Moving slowly (e.g. slow walking) also limits the ac-curacy of the navigation.

The GPS receiver consumes additional power. This is especially ofconcern, when running on batteries. To conserve power do notturn on the GPS receiver unnecessarily. Also terminate the Navi-gation Software, if it is not needed or satellite reception is notpossible for a longer period, for this reason. However, you can

also switch the device off by means of the On/Off switch in thecase of a shorter interruption to your journey. Pressing the sameswitch again will activate a restart. The GPS receiver will also bereactivated at the same time, if navigation software is still active.Here, it can take a short time for the position to be updatedagain, according to the reception situation.

Note:Please note, that your appliance is preset tonotshut down automatically after a few minutes

without activity. You can change this preset in the Set-tingsmode. If the GPS receiver has not been activefor some hours, it must orientate itself again. This

process may take a while.

External GPS antenna

This second optional GPS antenna makes it possible to receive thesignals of satellites better (e. g. in the case of vehicles with ametallized windscreen).

1. The antenna should be pointing upwards.

2. Push the plug of the external GPS antenna into the openingprovided for it at the rear sideof your device (see page 13, ).

TMC (Traffic Message Channel)

TheTraffic Message Channel(TMC) is a digital radio data ser-vice that functions in a similar way to RDS and is used to transmitdisruptions to traffic to a suitable reception device.

The traffic information is continuously transmitted across FM.

The user is less dependent on the half-hourly broadcast trafficinformation, because the signal is continuously transmitted. Apartfrom this, important information, as in the case of people drivingon the wrong side of the road for example, can be passed on im-mediately.

The transmission is planned for the whole of Europe and is al-ready offered by radio transmitters in many countries. The preci-

sion of the TMC messages can deviate greatly according to thecountry.

The evaluation of TMC messages is not supported by every typeof navigation software. Enquire whether your system supportsTMC before the possible purchase of a TMC receiver


61/70

Appendix 57

Connecting the TMC Angled Aerial (optional)

A TMC receiver is integrated into your navigation system, to re-ceive traffic information. However, reception will only be guaran-teed if the TMC angled aerial supplied with the device has beenconnected.

Plug the jack plug of the TMC angled aerial into the earphonesconnectionon the lower sideof your navigation system.

Attach the aerial, on the edge or your windscreen, for example,with the help of the sucker.

Place the aerial so that a distance of approx. 10 cm from themetal frame of the screen is maintained.

TMC reception can be improved by different aerial positioning,

according to the vehicle.

Your navigation system will now be able to receive traffic informa-tion through the TMC receiver and thus to avoid potential disrup-tions to traffic.

Additional card material

Your navigation system is already equipped with a digitalized mapof your country in the internal memory at the factory. Additionaldigitalized maps can be used, in addition to those in the internal

memory, by means of a memory card.Depending on the configuration, additional maps may be includedon your navigation CDs/DVDs. You will be able to transfer thesecards to a memory card immediately. Here, it is recommended touse an external card reader (see also page 24).

Depending on the amount of map data on the CDs/DVDs, memorycards with capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1.024 MB or more maybe required.

You will obtain additional memory cards (MMC or SD cards) inspecialist stores.

Transfer of card material to a memory card

The transfer of additional card material to a memory card willpreferably take place through the Explorer of your PC. Proceed asfollows:

1. Insert the CD/DVD with the card material required.

2. Start your workstation and select your CD/DVD Drive.

3. Copy the file with the .psfending out of the Directory ofthe region that you require to the MapRegions Directoryon your memory card, from the CD/DVD.

You can transfer several files with map material to your memorycard, depending on the capacity of the memory card. There mustbe sufficient space on your memory card.

If you have copied digitized maps of several countries or country

groups onto your memory card, you will be required to select thedesired map in the navigation application of your device.
