Exterior view of a black rectangular electronic device labeled 'DECKER' with a red circular icon and 'D195' mark (no other text or symbols visible)

Navigation

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 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.

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:

• Protect your mobile navigation system from water and moisture. If your unit is exposed to moisture, switch it off immediately and disconnect the power supply. Allow the unit 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.

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.)

NAVIGATION MODE

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.

SPECIALIST WORDS

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.

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.

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.
