Please refer to your PDA manual.
You may have purchased MN7 PDA as part of a package which
includes the required components.
Otherwise you can purchase such a receiver from a specialist dealer.
►
►
Connect the GPS receiver if it has to be connected to the PDA with
a cable and possibly to a power source.
If the GPS receiver is not integrated in the PDA, switch it on and
position it as far forward as possible under the windscreen, flat
against the dashboard.
Configuring GPS
When you start MN7 PDA for the first time, the GPS CONFIGURATION

2.9
Installing the hardware in a vehicle
We recommend using a special cradle for your PDA in order to ensure
the safe operation of the navigation system in a vehicle. This will ensure
that the display is always easy to read and that the driving instructions
from the system are well understood.
You can purchase a special cradle for your mobile phone in specialist
stores.
Power supply for the PDA and GPS receiver
It is recommended to connect the PDA and GPS receiver to an external
power supply, especially for long trips.
Charging cables for connection to the cigar lighter socket are available
for almost all devices in specialist stores. These cables are often also
available online from the PDA manufacturer or GPS receiver
manufacturer.
If you want to power several devices from your vehicle's cigar lighter
socket, you will need a multiple adapter which you can obtain from a
specialist dealer.
2.10
Navigating with GPS
GPS is based on a total of at least 24 satellites orbiting the Earth and
continuously transmitting signals of their position and time. The GPS
- 12 -
Before you begin
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
User’s manual MN7 PDA
receiver receives this data and calculates its own geographical position
on the basis of the information transmitted by the various satellites.
Data from at least three satellites is required for positioning with an
acceptable degree of accuracy. With data from four or more satellites it
is possible in addition to determine the position's altitude above sea
level. Positioning is accurate to within three metres.
Once the navigation device has determined your position, this position
can be used as a starting point for calculating a route.
The map data on your navigation device includes the geographical
coordinates of all digitally recorded points of interest, streets and
places. This enables the device to calculate a route between a starting
point and a destination.
Calculation of the current position and its representation on the map
takes place once every second. In other words, your current position is
always shown on the map.
2.11
Important safety information
In your own interest, read the following notices and safety information
carefully before starting up your navigation system.
2.11.1
Navigation safety information
Use the navigation system at your own risk.
Caution! To prevent accidents, do not operate the navigation system
while driving.
Caution! Do not look at the display unless it is absolutely safe to do so!
Caution! Traffic regulations have priority over any instructions from the
navigation system.
Caution! Follow the instructions of the navigation system only when the
circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow you to do so! The
navigation system will still guide you to your destination even if you
deviate from the calculated route.
Caution! Check that the cradle is secured and adjusted properly before
each journey.
Note: If you have not understood the spoken instructions or are unsure
about what to do next, you can refer briefly to the map or schematic
view of your navigation system.

2.11.2
Safety information for external GPS receivers
Caution!Do not lay the cable directly next to safety-relevant devices
and supply lines.
Caution! After installation, check all safety-relevant equipment in the
car.
Caution!Remove the plug from the power supply of the GPS receiver
when you park the car, as the receiver consumes electricity and could
discharge the car's battery.
Caution!Ensure that the GPS receiver is installed in such a way as not
to impede the safe operation of the vehicle.
2.11.3
Safety guidelines when installing the device in your car
Caution! Fasten the cradle so that the navigation device is easy to see
and operate by the driver. Make sure that the driver's view of the traffic
is not impeded.
Caution! Do not attach the cradle within the working zone of any
airbags.
Caution! Do not fasten the cradle too close to the steering wheel or
other controls. The driver must not be obstructed in operating any car
functions.
Caution! When installing the cradle, make sure that it will not pose a
risk in the event of an accident.
Caution! Do not run cables directly next to safety-relevant devices and
power supplies.
Caution! Check that the cradle is secured and adjusted properly before
each journey. The suction cup may become loose after a while.
Caution! After installation, check all safety-relevant equipment in the
car.

20 minutes, it is advisable to leave the navigation device switched on
for at least another 15 minutes in order to ensure reliable operation of
the receiver.
Each time you switch on the navigation device after this, GPS reception
will start within a short time.
If the navigation device has not been switched on for more than a week,
it can take up to 10 minutes to re-initialise the receiver.
