⚠ Safety information

  • The unit may only be operated if the traffic situation allows for this and if you are absolutely certain that you yourself, your fellow passengers or other road users will not be put at risk, encumbered or disturbed by this.
  • The rules of applicable road traffic acts must be observed at all times. Destinations may only be input when the vehicle is stationary.
  • The navigational system is only an aid. The data/details provided may in some cases be incorrect. The driver must always decide whether to follow the details given or not. We accept no liability for the navigational system issuing incorrect details. As a result of traffic routing changes and deviating data, inaccurate or incorrect instructions may be given. Drivers should always pay attention to the actual road signs and traffic control. In particular, the navigational system cannot be used as a means of orientation in cases of poor visibility.
  • The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the navigational system should be set so that noises outside the vehicle can still be heard.
  • The unit should be switched off immediately if faults occur (e.g. development of smoke or smells).
  • For safety reasons, the unit may only be opened by a specialist. Please contact your local stockist if you require repairs.

  • The mains voltages (V) indicated on the mains charger, the car charger adapter and the unit must not be exceeded. Failure to observe this can result in destruction of the unit and the charger as well as explosion of the rechargeable battery.

  • Never open the unit or the rechargeable battery. Any modification to the unit is also impermissible and renders the type approval invalid.
  • Use only genuine BECKER original accessories. This will ensure that all the relevant regulations are complied with and damage to health and property is avoided. Dispose of defective units and the rechargeable battery according to the applicable legal requirements.
  • No warranty is granted in the case of improper use. These safety instructions also apply to genuine BECKER original accessories.

THE TRAFFIC ASSIST

Use

BECKER Traffic Assist Z 100 Crocodile - Use - 1

natural_image Exterior view of a black rectangular electronic device with textured edges and a small red button labeled 'DECKET' (no other text or symbols visible)

The Traffic Assist can be used as:

  • navigational unit
    • MP3 (device for playing music)
  • Picture viewer
  • Video player

Thanks to GPS = Global Positioning System, you no longer need to spend hours searching through road atlases.

Once outside buildings, the receiver antenna integrated in the unit gives you continuous access to navigational possibilities. Depending on reception, you may not be able to use the navigational function inside buildings. When used in vehicles, you may not be able to adequately receive GPS data depending on how the Traffic Assist is installed. In such cases, you will have to connect up an external antenna (does not fall within the scope of supply).

The Traffic Assist with TMC is equipped with TMC, which gives you the option of receiving traffic announcements via the TMC antenna provided. Traffic announcements are transmitted when the TMC is active. The system plans an alternative route automatically or on request to avoid traffic problems, depending on the setting.

Music

Thanks to the integrated MP3-Player, you can listen to your favourite tracks when on the go.

Pictures

The Traffic Assist has a Picture Viewer offering many functions for viewing pictures.

Video

Traffic Assist features a video player for playing videos.

GENERAL OPERATION

Maintenance and care

The unit is maintenance-free.

For proper care, a commercially available cleansing fluid for electrical devices may be applied using a soft damp cloth.

⚠️Danger!

Danger to life by electrocution. Always switch off the unit and disconnect the mains power supply unit before cleaning the unit, supplied components, or accessories.

Note:

Do not use any aggressive or abrasive substances or cloths which may damage the surface.

The unit must not be exposed to water.

Your mobile navigation system was designed and manufactured with great care and should be treated with equal care. You will enjoy your mobile navigation system for a long time to come if you observe the recommendations listed in the following:

  • The Traffic Assist is splash-proof with the covers closed. The accessories such as the unit holder and the charger cable are, however, to be protected against moisture and pollution.
    If the accessories have been exposed to moisture, disconnect them from the power supply. Allow the parts to dry at room temperature.
  • Do not operate your mobile navigation system in a dusty or dirty environment and do not store it in such an environment.
  • Do not store your mobile navigation system in hot environments. High temperatures can shorten the service life of electronic components in your unit, damage the rechargeable batteries and cause certain plastics to warp or melt.

  • Do not store your mobile navigation system in cold environments. During operation, when the unit warms up to operating temperature, moisture may form internally, causing damage to electronic components.

  • Do not drop your mobile navigation system unit, protect it from shocks and do not shake it. Improper handling can damage components within the unit.
  • Never use corrosive or aggressive chemicals, cleaning solutions or aggressive detergents for cleaning.

All the above information applies equally to the mobile navigation system, the rechargeable battery, the mains charging and car power adapters as well as all accessories. Should one of these parts not work properly, please contact your authorised dealer.

Battery 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.

The rechargeable battery is designed such that it should certainly still be possible for it to be charged and discharged after 6 months of operation of your mobile navigation system.

Display quality declaration

In some cases, for technical reasons, a few discoloured dots (pixels) may be visible on the display. Some pixels may also appear brighter or darker. However, such instances do not represent a product flaw.

Start-up

Once the Traffic Assist has been unpacked and checked for damage, the unit can be started up. The individual start-up stages are:

  • connect to power supply
  • Switching on the unit
  • Ensuring antenna reception (if navigation is desired)

Power supply

Note:

You can charge the Traffic Assist via the car charger cable included in the scope of delivery or via the optionally-available mains power supply unit.

When the Traffic Assist is connected to a PC, it is supplied with power via the PC and does not consume battery power.

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.

Note:

Note that if the battery is completely discharged, it may take up to a minute before the device can be switched on again.

Note:

In the event of a defective battery, please contact your authorised dealer. Please do not attempt to remove the battery yourself.

Connection for the cigarette lighter

Note:

If the cigarette lighter has recently been used and is still hot, wait until the lighter socket has cooled down.

Connect the power supply via the vehicle battery and the cable provided for the cigarette lighter as follows:

→ Hold the USB socket at the corrugated grip area and push it into the connecting socket on the Traffic Assist or into the connecting socket on the carrier plate as far as the stop, without using excessive force.

BECKER Traffic Assist Z 100 Crocodile - Note: - 2

natural_image Close-up of a hand inserting a USB into a black plastic device (no visible text or symbols)

→ Insert the adapter into the cigarette lighter.

Note:

When the engine is switched off, the power supply slowly discharges the vehicle battery via the cigarette lighter!

Do not therefore operate the Traffic Assist for long periods with the engine switched off.

Connection to the mains outlet

⚠️ Danger!

Ensure that you do not have wet hands and that the power supply unit is dry. Only connect the power supply unit to a permissible mains power supply.

Connecting power supply

Connection to the public mains grid is achieved using the optionally available mains power supply unit. Please proceed as follows to connect to the mains:

→ Open the cover on the left side of the unit of the Traffic Assist.
→ Hold the USB connector at the corrugated grip area and push it into the connecting socket of the Traffic Assist as far as the stop without employing excessive force.
→ Insert the plug of the power supply unit into the socket.

Note:

Remove the power supply unit when not using the Traffic Assist for longer periods of time.

TMC antenna

The TMC antenna included in the accessories is used to receive traffic announcements.

→ Push the connector of the TMC antenna into the socket provided on the back of the carrier plate without using excessive force.

Note:

The TMC antenna must be routed so that your ability to drive the vehicle is not impaired.

GPS-antenna

Unit antenna

The GPS antenna is integrated into the housing.

Note:

The integrated GPS antenna is not suitable for use in vehicles with anti-glare windows (metalised thermo-glass or metal foil, indicated by the window label - SIGLA SOL, SIGLA CHROM, SIGLA, KOOL-OF, SUNGATE, etc.) and vehicles with fine-meshed heating wires in the windows. If this is the case, use an external GPS antenna. Please consult your local specialist dealer.

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.

natural_image Black rectangular object with hexagonal pattern and a perforated surface, no visible text or symbols

→ Open the closure by pulling gently on its upper surface.
→ Connect the external antenna using the optionally available adapter.

Memory card

Your Traffic Assist has a slot for a Micro SD memory card.

What is navigation?

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. The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed during the 1970s by the US military as a weapons guiding system.

GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites orbiting the Earth and emitting signals. A GPS receiver receives these signals and uses the signal times to calculate the distance to an individual satellite, and then determines your current geographical position.

Signals from at least three satellites are required to determine your position; your height above sea level can be calculated if signals are received from four or more satellites.

The Traffic Assist determines the direction and distance from the destination using a navigation computer and a digital street map held in its internal memory.

For safety reasons, route guidance is given predominantly in spoken form. This is supported by a direction indicator and a map display on the touch screen.

⚠ Safety instructions

  • Road traffic regulations always take priority. The navigation system is only an aid. Errors may occur in individual data items/entries. At all times, the driver must decide whether or not to heed the information provided. We do not accept liability for erroneous data provided by the navigation system.
  • When first put into use it can take up to 30 minutes to fix the position.
    • Observation of traffic signs and local traffic regulations must always take priority.
  • Traffic guidance is restricted to passenger vehicles. Special driving recommendations and regulations for other vehicles (e.g. commercial vehicles) are not included.
  • Destinations may only be entered when the vehicle is stationary.

Traffic announcements using TMC

Provided the TMC antenna is connected, your Traffic Assist can receive traffic announcements (TMC announcements) from radio stations.

Note:

TMC is not available in all countries (currently only Belgium, Germany, Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland and Spain).

Traffic announcements are transmitted by radio stations via the TMC (Traffic Message Channel) in addition to the radio programme and are received and analysed by the navigation system. Receiving traffic announcements is free of charge.

Note:

As the traffic announcements are transmitted by radio stations, we cannot assume responsibility for the completeness or accuracy of the announcements.

Austria: The location and event code was made available by ASFINAG and BM-VIT.

The Traffic Assist constantly checks whether there are any relevant announcements for the route that has been set. All traffic problems that have been received are shown on the map.

If the continuous checks determine that a traffic announcement is relevant to route guidance, the unit can automatically re-calculate a new route to the destination (See "The TMC button" on page 49.)

Displaying TMC messages on the map

Current TMC messages are displayed on the map graphically. Sections of the route where there are traffic problems are highlighted blue. Arrows indicating the traffic direction which is affected by the traffic problem continue to be displayed.

In addition to the coloured mark, a warning sign is displayed on the stretch of road affected.

GMT

(Greenwich Mean Time)

Central European Time

The standard time at 0 degrees of longitude (the longitude which passes through Greenwich, Great Britain). This time is used worldwide for the synchronisation of data collection.

GPS

(Global Positioning System)

GPS determines your actual geographical position by the use of satellites. It is based on 24 satellites which orbit the Earth and emit signals. The GPS receiver receives these signals and calculates the distance to each satellite from the running time differences and thus evaluates its actual current position in terms of geographical length and width. In order to determine the position, signals from at least three satellites are required, and the fourth one allows the height to be determined.

ID3-Tag

„Index of Contents" of an MP3 title. Contains information such as title, artist, album, year and genre.

JPG/JPEG

(Joint Photographic Experts Group)

The JPEG is the most common type of storage format for dissipating picture compression., i.e. when compressing, details of the picture are lost. Still provides good picture quality despite compression, compression stages are selectable. It is the most common format for representation and exchange of pictures on the internet.

MP3

Special compression process for audio data (e.g. music).

SD Card

(Secure Digital)

The Secure Digital Card was developed in 2001 by SanDisk on the basis of the older MMC standard. An SD card is a re-writable change-over storage card.

Stylus

A stylus is an input pointer which is used for the operation of touch-screens, mobile phones or PDAs.

The stylus consists basically of a plastic pointer with a softer plastic core. The sleeve is hard and can be gripped and the softer core emerges at the tip and is designed to touch the screen as softly as possible (i.e. without the danger of scratching the screen).

The stylus is more accurate than operation using the fingers, since only the thin tip touches the screen. In addition, dirty marks on the screen caused by finger prints are avoided.

SPECIALIST WORDS

TMC

(Traffic Message Channel)

Traffic announcements transmitted by most FM stations via RDS. Basis for dynamic navigation.

USB

(Universal Serial Bus)

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a bus sytem for interconnection of a computer with external USB peripherals for the exchange of data.
