GENERAL OPERATION Battery quality declaration Display quality declaration The capacity of the rechargeable battery in your mobile navigation system decreases with every charging/discharging cycle. Improper storage at excessively high or low temperatures may also cause a gradual deterioration of capacity. Consequently, the operating time may be substantially reduced even in the case of a fully charged battery.
>>> GENERAL OPERATION Using the battery The internal power supply is via the integrated rechargeable battery. The rechargeable battery is maintenance-free and does not require any particular care. >D > GB >F Note: Note that if the battery is completely discharged, it may take up to a minute before the device can be switched on again. >I >E >P Note: In the event of a defective battery, please contact your authorised dealer. Please do not attempt to remove the battery yourself.
GENERAL OPERATION Connection to the mains outlet TMC antenna !Danger! The supplied TMC antenna is integrated into the cable for power supply. The TMC antenna runs in parallel with the the cigarette lighter cable in the delivered condition. If the TMC reception is poor, you must remove the cable of the TMC antenna from the cable for the cigarette lighter. You can then use the supplied suction cup to attach the TMC antenna to the windshield.
>>> GENERAL OPERATION Connecting up external antenna To enable reception under adverse reception conditions, an external GPS antenna can be connected (not included). For this purpose, a closable connecting socket is located on the rear of the housing. If no external antenna is connected, this connection must always be closed again. >D > GB >F >I >E >P > NL > DK >S >N > Open the closure by pulling gently on the side. > Connect the external antenna using the optionally available adapter.
GENERAL OPERATION Memory card L R GND Audio Required configuration of the 3.5mm jack plug for connecting an audio cable. Your Traffic Assist has a slot for a micro SD memory card.

>>> NAVIGATION MODE What is navigation? Navigation mode >D The term "navigation" (lat. navigare = to travel by sea) is generally understood to mean the location of a vehicle, the determination of the direction and distance from the desired destination and the determination of the required route. Stars, prominent landmarks, compass and satellites etc. are used as navigation aids. With the Traffic Assist, the location is determined by the GPS receiver.
NAVIGATION MODE Selecting navigation Fast access mode Navigation mode is called up from the main menu. In fast access mode, the most recent destinations and saved destinations are displayed and can be selected directly. The menu for entering destinations or the function for entering addresses using speech* can also be called up using the fast access function. > In the main menu, press Select destination. The fast access function is called up.
>>> NAVIGATION MODE >D Icons used The following icons are used in the destination list: > GB Icon >F >I >E >P > NL > DK >S >N > FIN > TR > GR Meaning This destination is a standard destination with no special features. This destination is protected. If the destination memory is full, this destination will not automatically be deleted. This can be performed manually, if required. In the case of a protected entry, you can also determine the position using the fast access function.
NAVIGATION MODE Option Meaning Protect entry The destination is protected against automatic deletion. This function is only available in the case of unprotected destinations. Remove Protection of the destinaprotection tion is disabled. This function is only available for protected destinations. Move up The destination is moved forwards by one position.

Note: If required, press the arrow keys on the right of the screen to scroll through all available countries of destination.
>>> NAVIGATION MODE Selecting a town The destination can be entered by either using the name or ZIP code. If you enter the letters of a location, the Traffic Assist displays proposals (See “Accepting proposals” on page 27.). If you do not want to accept the proposal, just enter the other letters of the location you want. The Traffic Assist excludes all impossible letter combinations and ZIP codes and activates only letter fields or numerical fields that lead to an existing location or ZIP code.
NAVIGATION MODE Selecting the street In the Street menu field the street and house number can be entered separately using a letter and number field. The Traffic Assist excludes all impossible letter combinations and activates only those letters that could give an existing street name. A house number can only be chosen once the street has been selected and if house numbers are included in the data.
>>> NAVIGATION MODE >D Selecting a house number After entering the destination town and street, you can enter a house number so as to further limit the choice. > GB Note: Instead of entering the house number, you can also enter a junction. However, it is not possible to enter both at the same time. >F >I >E >P > Press No. The input menu for the house number will appear. > Enter the house number and then press the button.
NAVIGATION MODE Note: The symbols above the progress bar refer to restrictions that you may have activated (e. g. unpaved roads, toll roads).
