The basic principle of navigation
The time of complicated and frustrating inquiries on the right way in folded maps is over. From now on MEDION-Navigator, your navigation system, will guide you, based on satellite information, quickly and safely to your destination. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has originally been developed in the 70ies, as a weapon guidance system for the American forces. The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the earth and which are permanently emitting signals. The GPS receiver receives these signals and calculates, based on the runtime of the signals, his distance from the respective satellites. This information serves for calculation your current geographic position. The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination has an accuracy of about 3 yards.

Safety information on handling the PNA
Caution: As it is neither splash proof nor waterproof, do not expose your navigation device to water! For example, protect it from rain, snow or hail when you are on your way by bike or on foot. Caution: Disconnect the navigation device from the power supply when you are leaving the car parked for a long period of time. Failure to do so might result in a dead battery since the internal GPS receiver constantly consumes electricity. Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the PNA. A damp, lint-free cloth is sufficient! Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the cable!
Safety information on the installation in the vehicle
Caution: Do not fix the holder within the deployment zone of airbags. Caution: When you install the holder, please check that it may not constitute any safety risk, even in case of an accident.

10 Glossary
COM-port A COM port is a connector to a communications interface, usually the serial port. The ports are numbered by a number behind "COM". A communications interface is designed to connect hardware like a mouse or a GPS receiver. GMT (Greenwich Mean Time) is the mean solar time at the Royal Greenwich Observatory in Greenwich near London, England, which by convention is at 0 degrees geographic longitude. Theoretically, noon Greenwich Mean Time is the moment when the Sun crosses the Greenwich meridian (and reaches its highest point in the sky in Greenwich). Up to 1972, GMT was the global time standard. Because of the Earth's uneven speed in its elliptic orbit, GMT has been replaced by UTC (Universal Time Coordinated) which is an ultra stable time standard based on atomic clocks. The GPS (Global Positioning System) is based on 24 satellites which are in orbit round the earth. They are permanently emitting the time and their current position. The GPS receiver receives this information and calculates the longitude and the latitude of its own current position. The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination has an accuracy of about 3 yards. HDOP The Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP) indicates the quality of position determination. Theoretically any value from 0 to 50 is possible. The smaller the value is, the more accurate is the position determination (value 0 = no deviation from the actual position). Values up to 8 are convenient for street navigation. Point of Interest (POI). See Special destination.

POI RDS

Radio Data Signal (RDS) is a service offered by broadcasting stations. TMC information is broadcasted via RDS. Special destinations, also called POI (Points of Interest), are covered by the map and may be displayed on it. Harbours, airports, restaurants, hotels, petrol stations, public buildings, and others belong to the special destinations. You may determine special destinations as itinerary points for navigation purposes. Traffic Message Channel (TMC) supplies your navigation system with the latest traffic information. A TMC module which is available as accessory receives the signals which are broadcasted by radio stations.
