For safety reasons, entries may not be made by the driver whilst driving: Please make the necessary entries before beginning the journey. If you need to change your entries during the journey, stop your vehicle at a suitable point (parking spot etc.). Vehicle windscreens made of Thermoglas or metalised windscreens considerably limit the GPS reception. There is usually a special opening in this metallic coating, behind which the navigation device can be placed. If that is not the case, a commercially-available GPS antenna must be mounted outside the passenger cabin (e. g. on the roof of the vehicle). The instructions for the navigation system are recommendations only: Always pay attention to road traffic regulations. Please note that your navigation device must receive a valid GPS signal in order to calculate the route from the current position. Please note that your navigation device must be set to the local time zone to be able to calculate the correct time of arrival for future route calculations. You can also follow your current position on the map without entering a destination. If available, the name of the street you are currently on will be displayed Note that temporary local changes and/or restrictions to road traffic regulations (e. g. permitted maximum speed) cannot be accounted for in the route planning: Always obey signage and/or local traffic routing. Please note that the map material is current as of the time of delivery. However, the manufacturer cannot guarantee the information to be completely binding or that it corresponds to the road layout and/or signage.

Chapter 2 Manual installation and start-up
The Windows CE operating system has already been installed on your navigation device. In addition, software components such as the navigation software or map material for various countries (depending on the version) may already be pre-installed on the device or on the memory card supplied. If that is not the case, you must first install the navigation software as well as the map material necessary for route planning before operating your navigation system. If you are updating or would like to install subsequently purchased navigation software or additional maps or POI files to your navigation device, you must remove individual or all data installed on your device before installing the newly purchased software. The following data can be manually installed by the user: GoPal Navigator navigation software Map material in the form of PSF files Point of interest data (POI data) in the form of PSF data
Even though it is possible to install files manually, we recommend that you use the Go Pal Assistant supplied with the software to transfer and update software components on your navigation system. The next chapter describes the installation and data exchange using the GoPal Assistant. The manual transfer of software components from CD/DVD to your mobile navigation device takes place in Windows Explorer on your PC. Select one of the two following methods to exchange data between your navigation system and your PC: If you have installed the Microsoft ActiveSync software from a CD/DVD, you can connect your navigation device directly to the USB port of your PC using the USB cable supplied in order to synchronise the desired data. In this case, you have direct access to the internal flash memory of your navigation device. If your PC has a card reading device, you can insert the external memory card supplied directly and manually move the data in the file explorer. In this case, you do not have direct access to the internal flash memory of your navigation device.

Initial operation

Depending on the version of your navigation system, the software necessary for operation may not have been pre-installed on your navigation device and can instead be found on the memory card supplied: an appropriate comment indicating this can be found in the readme file as well as on the packaging of your navigation device. In this case, you must install the software to operate your navigation system. Proceed as follows to install: 1. 2. 3. Carefully remove the memory card from its packaging. Take care that the contacts are not touched or contaminated: Otherwise data transfer may no longer be possible. Insert the memory card into the MMC/SD card slot of your navigation device until you hear a click. Switch on the navigation device by pressing the ON/OFF switch on the device (see device operating instructions).
The necessary software components will now be installed automatically.
Manual installation and start-up If you switch on your navigation device without inserting the memory card supplied, the following screen appears.
Insert the memory card into your device and tap the button , to begin automatic installation. Once installation is complete, the start screen of your navigation system appears, giving you access to the various functions such as the navigation or MP3 Player etc.
Reinstallation and updating the software
If necessary, you can remove all or individual application files such as the navigation software or map material from the memory of your navigation device (see device operating instructions). This would be necessary, for example, to install a current version of the GoPal Navigator software that you purchased at a later date. The software required for reinstallation/updating is located in the Installation folder on the CD/DVD and can be transferred to the navigation device using the memory card supplied. Proceed as follows to manually install the navigation software onto the external memory card: 1. If you have not already done so, carefully remove the memory card from its packaging and insert it into the card reading device (internal or external) of your PC: The card clicks in and the contents of the card will be displayed in a new window in Windows Explorer. Open your PCs CD/DVD drive and insert the CD/DVD. If the CD/DVD Setup Assistant starts, close it. Open the directory of your CD/DVD drive and go to the directory Installation. Copy all of the folders and files in this directory. Go to the directory window of the external memory card and insert the copied contents.

2. 3. 4. 5.

To install the software copied onto the memory card onto your navigation device, follow the steps described in the Initial operation section.
Manual installation and start-up
