ABOUT THE SD CARD

Make sure that the lock on your SD card not in the locked position. This could modify ViaMichelin Navigation operation: when in the locked position, the content of your SD card is protected but this prevents the ViaMichelin Navigation programmes from recording the information required for correct software operation on the card.
Fig. 1 SD card Your SD card includes the data required to activate the DVD-ROM provided. Be careful not to damage it before installing and activating your DVD-ROM, as this will make it impossible to retrieve or regenerate the data on the memory card. To overcome any problems encountered with your SD card, we strongly advise you to install the DVD-ROM provided in your pack before using the ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS. You can thus take advantage of advanced functions and maintenance tools of the ViaMichelin Navigation software using the applications installed on your PC (integration of specific address files (or POIs4), regeneration of your SD card, customised map partitioning, etc.). Do not modify the content of the SD card without using the PC Content Manager application installed on your PC. The SD card can only be used on a single ViaMichelin portable GPS device. When you insert the SD card for the first time on a PND, a digital fingerprint associated with the mapping will determine that this SD card has been installed on this device. It cannot therefore be used on another PND unless it is reformatted. Use the SD card provided with your ViaMichelin Navigation X-960 / X-970T only. Do not use it in other devices (digital cameras, PDAs5 or MP3s, for example). 3.3. ABOUT THE VIAMICHELIN DVD-ROM
The ViaMichelin Navigation DVD-ROM contains maintenance programs for the system as well as advanced functions used for transfers with the ViaMichelin web site and files with personal saved items. We suggest you install this DVD-ROM as soon as possible then return it to its pouch and store it in a safe place where it will not be scratched or altered in any way. 3.4. ABOUT INSTALLING THE VIAMICHELIN PORTABLE GPS DEVICE IN YOUR VEHICLE
To recharge your ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS device, be sure to use only the ViaMichelin equipment provided. Use of power adaptor: the mains power lead plug contains the transformer for powering and recharging the battery on your device. It must be installed near to the GPS device and be accessible to allow you to unplug it easily. Disconnect the power lead from the mains supply before disconnecting the power lead from your personal navigation system. You should first plug in the cigarette lighter lead to the mounting system of your ViaMichelin portable GPS device (or directly to your ViaMichelin Navigation X-960) and then to the cigarette lighter plug of your vehicle. Never use the adaptor if the plug or cable is damaged. Do not expose the adaptor to water or humidity Replace it if it is damaged or exposed to excessive humidity. Your ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS device contains an internal recyclable Lithium-ion battery that must not be removed or handled. Warning: your device may explode if the battery is replaced by the wrong type of battery. Always charge the battery in a temperature range of between 0 and 43C. Do not leave your ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS exposed to sunlight at extreme temperatures: temperature above 55C could damage your system and result in deterioration of the internal battery. Always dispose of used batteries in compliance with the regulations in effect in your country. Non-compliance with these warnings could lead to accidents or damage. ViaMichelin and/or suppliers accept no responsibility for any use of products likely to provoke accidents, cause damage or infringe on any laws or for any other consequences, whether direct or indirect.

5.1. HOW TO INITIALISE YOUR GPS

INITIALISING YOUR GPS

On initial use of your ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS device, we therefore recommend you move to an area clear of obstructions to obtain the best possible reception. First-time initialisation of GPS can take several minutes depending on the environment and quality of the reception of GPS satellite signals. The time required by the GPS for acquire this information varies depending on when the device was last used: If you switch on your ViaMichelin portable GPS device after it has been switched off for several minutes, satellite positioning is almost instantaneous (hot start). If your ViaMichelin portable GPS device has been switched off for more than 4 hours, the GPS can take up to five minutes and the Currently obtaining satellite signals appears on the navigation screen (warm start). If your ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS is only used occasionally, and has been switched off for more than 24 hours, in this case, GPS initialisation can take from between 10 to 15 minutes (cold start), and the Detect satellites. This may take several minutes message appears on the navigation screen.

Click on Next station if you want the system to continue to scan the FM band to use another station with a signal of higher quality or click on Back to return to the previous screen.
Note: During initial use of the TMC on your ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS device, you must allow the system time to initialise. The system scans the FM band until it finds a station that transmits traffic information. This search can take a few minutes during initial use; it is then saved for subsequent use. In the event of loss of traffic information the system automatically performs a new search for a radio signal after a few minutes. Depending on the country in which you are driving, access to traffic information can take place via paying private or public systems. The ViaMichelin Navigation portable GPS X-970T and X-980T devices, when installed, contain all the codes enabling you to take advantage of traffic information in the countries covered by the mapping installed on your device. Traffic information is available in the following countries: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, Holland, Italy, Norway, Czech Republic, United Kingdom, Sweden and Switzerland. 9.2.3.3.

be informed. In addition, to optimise reception, ViaMichelin Trafic has developed a system unique in France of continuous service in the event of an interruption in signal and alternative frequency management. Reception quality depends on a number of factors (global receptor sensitivity, external disturbances, tunnels, weather, noise-proof walls, etc.) and on a vehicle whose body allows radio waves to pass more or less easily. RDS/TMC reception quality, irrespective of the service, cannot be guaranteed. This is one reason explaining why messages transmitted by ViaMichelin are tripled and exceed the standard recommendations in this area. The European format of RDS/TMC information traffic offers up to 50 messages per minute. ViaMichelin Trafic has made a strategic decision to divide France into a number of broadcast regions in order to offer users more relevant messages on a local basis and enable quicker update of traffic-related events. It is also important to check that the RDS / TMC antenna is correctly connected to the device and positioned according to the recommendations in the documentation. In France, ViaMichelin Trafic information is sent on the FM band via the radios of the NRJ group: NRJ, Nostalgie, Latina, etc. that cover more than 85% of the French population. In addition to its RDS/TMC service offer, ViaMichelin Traffic provides its traffic messages in xml format. This technology handles a dynamic traffic information flow for multichannel applications such as, for example: 10 portable telephones, web sites and all devices capable of receiving information via GPRS.

Your ViaMichelin portable GPS device has in its memory several thousands of addresses that you can display on your card or identify to plan a route. These addresses, called POIs Points Of Interest are places with a specific feature that allows identifying and searching them. These could a hotel, a restaurant, a car park, a service station, a bakery, a hair salon, an amusement park or a museum, for example. Your ViaMichelin portable GPS device is equipped with an exclusive offer of nearly 70,000 Points Of Interest from the Michelin guides tourism sites from the Green Guide, hotels and restaurants from the MICHELIN Guide, and a selection of useful addresses (service stations, car parks, flower shops, bakeries, etc.). The addresses from the Michelin guides and the useful addresses are exclusive and are accompanied by a description and can be selected with a multicriteria search. 10.1. MICHELIN GUIDE ADDRESSES
