About GPS navigation
GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites that circle the earth and are constantly transmitting their position. The GPS receiver uses this data and calculates its own geographical position on the basis of the information transmitted by the various satellites.
For a sufficiently precise positioning it is necessary to obtain the data from at least three satellites. With the data from 4 or more satellites the altitude above sea level can also be ascertained. The determination has an accuracy of about 3 yards.
Once the navigation device has determined your position, it can be used as a starting point for route calculation.
The map data on your navigation device includes the geographical coordinates of all digitally recorded Points Of Interest (POIs), streets and places. This enables the device to calculate a route between a starting point and a destination.
The calculation of the current position and its representation on the map takes place once every second so your current position is always shown on the map.
If GPS reception is impaired, navigation is interrupted. The navigation software remains active.
As soon as GPS reception is restored, the navigation system calculates any change of position which has occurred in the meantime. Navigation may simply be continued.

Caution! The United States government operates the Global Positioning System (GPS) and is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. Changes by the United States government may affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment, including your personal navigation device.
Caution! Ordinances or laws may restrict use of certain abilities of your navigation device on public or private land.

Navigation safety information
Use this 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 guides 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 you're not sure about what to do next, you can briefly refer to the map or arrow view of your navigation system.
Safety information for the navigation device

Caution! Protect the device from moisture. The device is not waterproof and is not protected against water damage.
Caution! Do not run cables directly next to safety-relevant devices and supply lines.
Caution! After installation, check all safety-relevant equipment in the car.
Caution! Unplug the navigation device's power supply when you park the vehicle. The navigation device requires power in standby mode, and may drain the vehicle's battery.
Caution! Do not open the navigation device's casing under any circumstances.
Caution! Do not expose the navigation device to extreme heat or cold. This may damage the device or impair its function.
Caution! Use only the charger provided or one that has been approved by the manufacturer.
Connect the charger to a suitable power supply. The voltage requirements can be found on the device case and/or the packaging.

Note: Ensure that there are no kinks in the cable and that it will not be damaged by any sharp objects.
Note: To clean the navigation device, use a moist cloth only.
Note: Do not unplug by pulling on the cable. Doing so could damage the cable!
Note: Create a backup of the data contained on the memory card provided.
Note: The memory card must remain inserted in the device during operation of the navigation system.
Note: Use SD or MMC memory cards only! Ensure that memory card contacts are clean and undamaged.
Safety guidelines when installing in your car

Caution! Do not attach the cradle within the deployment zone of airbags.
Caution! When installing the cradle, ensure that it does not represent a risk in the event of an accident.
Caution! Do not run cables directly next to safety-relevant devices and power supplies.
Caution! After installation, check all safety-relevant equipment in the car.
Caution! The car charger cable is to be connected to cigarette lighters with an operating voltage of 12V only.
Preparing your NAVIGON 5100 for use
Use the navigation system at your own risk.

Caution! Please be sure to see the safety information in "Important safety information" on page 6.
Charging the battery
- Connect the car charger cable to the navigation device and to the vehicle's cigarette lighter.
The LED of the NAVIGON 5100 indicates the current battery charge. The LED lights:
- No light, the battery is flat.
- Orange during charging.
- Green when the battery is fully charged.

Note: It takes approximately 6 hours to charge the device when the battery is flat. A fully charged battery provides 4-5 hours of use.
Inserting a memory card
The SD memory card contains maps and navigation software. It also stores saved destinations, routes, and logbook entries.
- Insert the memory card provided into the slot on the side of the device. Press the card into the device until it locks into place.

- Turn the navigation device clockwise until the bayonet fitting locks into place.
- Adjust the navigation device so that it can be seen easily.
Supplying power to the navigation device
Included in delivery of the NAVIGON 5100 is a car charger cable with which power can be supplied to the navigation device via the vehicle's cigarette lighter.
The car charger cable is connected to the NAVIGON 5100 via the power connection port on the bottom of the device.

Caution! The car charger cable is to be connected to cigarette lighters with an operating voltage of 12V only.
Connecting the TMC antenna
The NAVIGON 5100 has an integrated TMC receiver. For optimal reception, you should use the TMC antenna provided.
- Connect the TMC antenna to the external antenna/headset socket on the bottom of the NAVIGON 5100.
- Secure the antenna to the windshield using the suction cups.

Initializing the GPS receiver

Note: It can take up to 20 minutes to initialize the integrated GPS receiver for the first time.
Each time you turn on the device, GPS reception starts within one minute.
If the navigation device has been switched off for more than a week, the next initialization can take up to 10 minutes.
As soon as the navigation device has been switched on, initialization of the GPS receiver begins.
In the upper right-hand corner of the display, the GPS symbol appears. As soon as data from at least 3 satellites is received, the symbol changes to 📍 GPS Ready.

Note: If the GPS symbol displays GPS Ready after considerably less than 20 minutes, it is advisable to leave the receiver switched on for at least an additional 15 minutes to ensure reliable operation.

Caution! If you have connected the navigation device to the power supply via the vehicle's cigarette lighter, remove the connector before you leave the vehicle standing for a longer period of time.
As the GPS receiver requires a constant supply of power, it could drain the vehicle's battery.

The starting point of a route, is the point at which you want to begin your trip. This does not need to be the current location. If you are at home planning a route for your vacation, you could, for example, enter your hotel as the starting point.
The starting point is only important if you want to see a planned route on the map, but currently have no GPS reception, or you are not currently at the planned starting point. The starting point that you enter therefore has the flow number "0".
As soon as you begin navigation, your current location is used as the starting point for the route calculation.
The first stage is the trip to the route point with the flow number "1".

Logbook
You can use the NAVIGON 5100 to record your vehicle mileage for tax purposes or for expense reports. The logbook is recorded in the Logbook.xls file. You can open the file with Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program. Each recorded trip is added at the bottom of the spreadsheet as a new entry.
When first used, the Logbook.xls file is created in the MN6\Logbook directory on the navigation device's memory card. If you delete or move this file, a new file is created when you next record a trip.
The device supports various types of trips for which one could record mileage. You can record mileage for Business, Personal, Commutes to work, etc.

Note: When logbook recording starts, every movement of the vehicle is recorded, even when you are not navigating.
