Frequently Asked Questions - GoPal E4230 M20 (MD 97190) MEDION

How do I charge the battery for the first time?
Connect the device to the car adapter or a powered PC via USB. The LED flashes orange during charging and turns green when fully charged. Initial charge may take several hours; leave connected for 24 hours to fully charge the backup battery.
What should I do if the navigation system stops responding?
Perform a soft reset by pressing the On/Off button briefly and tapping 'Reset' on the screen. If that fails, perform a hard reset by holding the On/Off button for more than 3 seconds. Note that a hard reset clears temporary data.
How can I protect my device with a password?
Go to Settings > Security and create an admin password (at least 4 characters, mix of letters and numbers). You can also set when the password is requested (after cold boot, reset, or suspend). Write down the SuperPIN and UUID shown afterward for recovery.
How do I install the navigation software from the DVD?
Insert the DVD into your PC. The setup should auto-run. If not, manually start the setup program. Follow on-screen instructions to install ActiveSync and the navigation software. The final installation on the device occurs automatically during initial setup.
Can I use the GPS without a memory card?
Yes, the device has internal memory for navigation software and maps. However, if you have additional map material on a memory card, the card must be inserted while using navigation. Always insert the card before starting the navigation software.
How do I set the alarm clock?
From the main screen, tap 'Alarm Clock'. Enter the desired alarm time in 24-hour format and confirm. You can choose an alarm sound, adjust volume, and enable the snooze function. The alarm works even in standby mode.
Why does the GPS receiver not find satellites?
Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky, away from metal objects. The antenna must be horizontal. If reception is poor, try a different position. First-time initialization may take a few minutes. After that, it usually takes 30-60 seconds.
How do I connect the TMC traffic receiver?
Plug the supplied TMC dipole antenna into the headphone jack. Attach the antenna near the windscreen, at least 10 cm from metal frames. The device will then receive real-time traffic information via FM radio.
How can I transfer map data from the DVD to a memory card?
Insert the DVD into your PC. Copy the .psf file from the desired region folder to the 'MapRegions' folder on your memory card. You can transfer multiple map files if card capacity allows. Then insert the card into the device to use the maps.
What do I do if I forgot my password?
After three incorrect password attempts, the device will prompt for the SuperPIN. Enter the SuperPIN you recorded during setup. If you lost that, contact Medion customer service with the UUID displayed on the screen.

Initial Set up

The following is a step by step guide to assist in the initial Set-up of the navigation system.

Start by removing the protective plastic from the display.

I. Charging the Battery

The battery of your navigation system can be charged in the following ways:

• Using the supplied car adapter,
• using a suitable USB cable or
- by using a mains adapter (purchased as an optional extra)

Attention!

It may be necessary to initially charge the battery for a considerable period of time prior to commencing and running through the initial installation, this is dependent on the level of charge held at the time by the internal battery.

Please observe the following notes relating to the battery:

  • The charging status display LED will flash orange until the navigation system is charged. If possible, do not interrupt the charging process until the battery is fully charged. This may take a few hours. The charging status LED will shine constant green if the battery has a high level of charge. Leave the device charging for 20 further minutes, to ensure the battery is fully charged.
  • The navigation system can be used during the charging process, but the power supply must not be interrupted during initial set-up.
  • Leave the external power supply connected to the navigation system for around 24 hours, so that the backup battery also charges-up fully.
  • The external power supply can remain connected; this is recommended for continuous operation. However, the mains adapter (optional) must remain switched on whenever it is connected to the navigation system.
  • Even after a power source has been connected to the device it may take several minutes until the device is once again ready to operate again, this occurs if the charging state of the battery is exceptionally low. The battery will continue to be charged if the power supply is connected and the device is switched off.

Resetting the Navigation System

You can reset your navigation system if it is no longer reacting or working properly.

This option restarts the navigation system, without reinstallation being necessary. A reset is often used in order to reorganise the memory. In doing so all programs that are running are interrupted and the working memory is reinitialised.

You can carry out two different Reset procedures with your device.

Reset

The following screen will appear if you press the On/Off switch for a short time:

MEDION®GoPal

MEDION GoPal E4230 M20 (MD 97190) - Reset - 2

If you want to carry out a Reset, tap on

You will find further information in the chapter “Switching on/off the device”, page 15.

Switching the Device off Completely / Hard Reset

Attention!

A hard reset will delete all data in the temporary memory.

Your navigation system will normally be in the Standby Mode, if you have switched it off by pressing the on/off button briefly. In addition, the system can be switched off completely; the consumption of energy can be kept as low as possible through this. All the data in the temporary memory will be lost if the device is switched off completely (hard reset).

To switch your navigation system off completely:

  1. Press and hold the On/Off key (> 3 sec.), to switch off the device.
  2. Press and hold the On/Off key (> 3 sec.), to switch the device on again.

A reinstallation will not be necessary after a hard reset if your device has already been equipped with the basic data of the navigation software in the permanent memory.

Safety Instructions for Navigation

The bundled product DVD contains a comprehensive instruction manual.

General Instructions

  • Do not adjust or configure the navigation system whilst driving, this is to protect yourself and others from accidents!
  • In the event that you do not understand the voice instruction or if you are in any doubt about what to do at the next intersection, then the map or arrow displayed on the screen will provide you with a quick orientation. Only look at the display when it is safe to do so and driving conditions allow!

Attention!

The road layout and driving rules take precedence over the instructions of the navigation system. Only follow the instructions when circumstances and driving rules permit it! The navigation system will guide you to your destination even when you have to deviate from your planned route.

  • The direction statements of the navigation system given do not release the driver of the vehicle from his or her duty of care or personal responsibility.
  • Plan routes before you leave. If you want to plan a new route whilst on the road pull over and stop driving.
  • In order to receive the GPS signal correctly, keep away from metal objects as they may hinder reception. Attach the navigation system onto the inside of the windscreen or near the windscreen with the suction cup. Try out different positions in your vehicle in order to find the best reception.

Notes for Use in a Vehicle

  • Take care that the holder does not present any risk to safety, even in the case of an accident, when installing it.
    • Take care that the cable does not impede any safety components.
  • The display of your navigation system may show “light reflections”. Please take care of not being “blinded” during operation.
  • Do not mount the components within the operating range of any airbags.
  • Check the secure adherence of the suction cup at regular intervals.
  • The power plug will consume power, even if no device is connected. Remove it when not in use to avoid draining the car battery.
  • Check all safety equipment in your car after installation.

Note

Do not leave your navigation software in the vehicle when you leave it unattended. You should also uninstall the holder for security reasons.

Additional Notes for Use on a Bicycle or a Motorcycle

• Pay attention during installation that the ability to steer is not impaired.
- Do not cover any instruments during installation.

Aerial Orientation

The aerial must have unrestricted access to the sky to receive GPS satellite signals. Place the aerial as horizontally as possible for this reason. Try out aerial and installation possibilities in the vehicle if the reception is inadequate.

I. Mounting the Car Holder

Attention!

Only fix the holder for the navigation system to the windscreen, if it does not impede the view.

  1. Plug the jack (①) of the connection cable into the corresponding receptor at the bottom of your navigation system (p. 8).

  2. Insert the power adapter (②) into the cigarette lighter socket and ensure, that it will not lose contact while driving. This could cause a malfunction.

Note

Remove the power adapter from the cigarette lighter socket when ending a trip or when parking the car for a extended period of time. Otherwise the car battery could be drained. In this case use the power switch to turn off the navigation system.

IV. Starting the Navigation Software

Note

Your memory card will always have to be inserted into the device during the use of the navigation system, if the card contains (additional) mapping material.

It will be necessary to carry out a reset to restart the navigation system if the memory card has been removed while the system was being used (see page 22). According to the navigation system the reset is carried out automatically.

  1. Switch on your navigation system.
  2. The Navigation software will start automatically or after tapping on the navigation control button on the main screen, according to the version.
  3. Tap on Navigation on the screen for entering the destination. Enter the destination address. Confirm your entry by clicking the √ symbol to start the navigation. After a short time, if the satellite reception is adequate you will receive augmented language statements.

Further information regarding the navigation software can be found in the comprehensive manual on your navigation DVD. This is a pdf-file you can read and print with Acrobat Reader.

Note

The GPS-receiver will require some minutes for initialization when deployed for the first time. Even when GPS signal reception is indicated the navigation could be imprecise. In all future instances it will take about 30-60 seconds until a correct GPS-signal is available, sufficient “sight” of the satellite is a prerequisite.

Picture Viewer

Note

Please use this function very carefully, because it is possible for data to be deleted that can only be entered again manually afterwards.

The CleanUp function is activated when the ‘o’ is pressed in the Gopal lettering of the Main Menu, immediately after the start tone following a reset.

The CleanUp function offers 8 options:

CleanUp 1. Remove Installation Only 2. Remove MAP Only 3. Remove Prebad Only 4. Remove All 5. Factoryreset 6. Format Flash 7. GPS Factory Reset 8. DC AutoSuspend Exit

1. Remove Installation Only

Removes the software installed from the 'My Flash Disk'

memory [= part of the permanent memory in which the executable parts of the navigation software will be located following the initial alignment (\My Flash Disk\Navigation)].

2. Remove MAP Only

Removes the digital maps from the 'My Flash Disk' memory (\My Flash Disk\MapRegions).

3. Remove Preload Only

Removes the data needed for the installation of the navigation software from the permanent memory (\My Flash Disk\Install).

4. Remove All

Deletes the whole contents of the 'My Flash Disk' memory. It will not be necessary to recalibrate the screen after this function has been carried out.

5. Factoryreset

Sets the device back to the delivery status in the case of an intact main installation.

6. Format Flash

Formats the internal 'My Flash Disk' memory. This formatting can be necessary in the case of a prolonged removal of errors. It will be necessary to recalibrate the screen after the formatting function has been carried out. All data will be deleted from the internal 'My Flash Disk' memory irrevocably.

7. GPS Factory Reset

Performs a factory reset of the GPS receiver. When using the GPS function after having performed a factory reset, the GPS receiver must orientate itself again. This process may take a while.

8. DC AutoSuspend

You can select here when your navigation system should go into Standby mode automatically after the withdrawal of the external power supply. For example, this function is useful in the case of vehicles where the cigarette lighter also switches off when the ignition is switched off.

The AutoSuspend function will be activated several seconds after the discontinuation of the external power supply and the Standby display will appear for the time set (see Page 15).

The DC AutoSuspend function will be deactivated again if the power has been reconnected within the total period (in the case that the engine has been switched off for a short time, for example). Otherwise, the navigation system will go into the Standby mode after the expiry of the time set.

Set the required time by clicking on it and confirm your selection with OK.

DC AutoSuspend Disable Auto Suspend 60 Seconds 120 Seconds 300 Seconds OK Cancel

Note

This function is deactivated and can be set individually in the status at delivery and after a hard reset (see Page 22)

Exit

Leaving the CleanUp function and restarting the device (like reset).

Note

The deletion of the data must be confirmed before the action actually takes place. To do this, press on YES. There will be a corresponding report if the data to be deleted is no longer available.

Please read the "Transferring Installation Files and Map Material to the Internal Memory" chapter on Page 52, in order to recreate the files (installation files and map material) in the internal memory.

Synchronisation with the PC

I. Installing Microsoft® ActiveSync®

In order to transfer data between your PC and your navigation system you need the Microsoft® ActiveSync® program.

The cost of the navigation system includes a license for this program which can be found on the DVD.

Hinweis

You will not need the ActiveSync ® communications software, if you are a user of the Windows Vista ® operating system. The system files necessary for the simple data transfer are already integrated into your Vista ® operating system.

Procedure for Vista users:

Please connect your device to your PC with the help of the USB synchronization cable. The necessary drivers will be installed automatically, after the new device has been found. Your new device will be listed under the 'Portable Devices' point in the Windows Explorer overview, following a successful installation.

Attention!

Important files can be overwritten or changed during the installation of software. You should create a hard disk backup, in order to be able to have access to the original files in the case of possible problems following the installation.

You must have administrator rights to install the software under Windows 4 2000 or XP.

Important

You should not connect the navigation system to your computer yet.

  1. Insert the DVD and wait until the program starts automatically.

Note

If it does not function, the Auto Run function is probably deactivated. The Setup program on the DVD must be started, to start installation manually.

  1. Choose the language, click then Install ActiveSync ® and follow the instructions on the screen.

Note

When installing the GoPal Assistant, ActiveSync ® will be installed automatically.

II. Connecting with the PC

  1. Press the On/Off button to start your navigation system.
  2. Connect the USB cable to your navigation system.
  3. Push the USB connector into a free USB port on your computer.
  4. The hardware installation assistant will recognise a new appliance and install a suitable driver which can take some minutes. Repeat the connection search if it fails the first time.
  5. Follow the instructions on the screen. The program will now set up a partnership between your PC and the device.

Alternative possibility of charging the battery

The battery will charge as soon as you connect your navigation device to a switched-on PC or notebook by means of a USB cable (optional). No type of software or driver installation will be necessary for this. Do not interrupt the charging process if possible during the initial charge.

III. Working with Microsoft® ActiveSync®

ActiveSync ® will be started automatically if you connect your navigation system to the PC. The program will check whether the device is one with which a partnership has been entered. If this is the case, the changes that have taken place on the PC and on the navigation system since the last synchronisation will be compared and adjusted to each other. You will be able to define exactly which data will have priority during the synchronisation in the settings of the ActiveSync ® Program. Call up the Help of the Program (with the F1 Button), in order to become familiar with the effects of the respective settings. A restricted Guest Access, with which you will be able to exchange data, for example, will become active automatically if the navigation system has not been recognised as a partner. If this is the case, although the process concerns the registered partner device, separate your navigation system from the PC and switch it off and on again. Now connect your navigation system to the PC, to restart the recognition process. Repeat the process and, restart your PC in addition, if your device continues to be recognised as a guest.

Note

Make sure that you always connect your navigation system to your PC with the same USB connection, otherwise your PC will allocate an additional ID and reinstall the device.

GPS (Global Positioning System)

GPS is a satellite-backed system for determining your position. With the help of 24 satellites revolving around the earth, it is possible to determine your position on earth with the accuracy of a few meters. The satellite signals are received by the antenna of the built-in GPS receiver, which must have a "line of sight" to at least 4 of these.

Note

When the line of sight is interrupted (e.g. in tunnels, between houses, in woods or also in vehicles with metal-coated windows) it is not possible to determine the position. The satellite reception however automatically picks up again as soon as the obstacle has been passed and the line of sight is re-established. Moving slowly (e.g. slow walking) also limits the accuracy of the navigation.

The GPS receiver consumes additional power. This is especially of concern when running on batteries. To conserve power do not turn on the GPS receiver unnecessarily. Also terminate the navigation software if it is not needed or satellite reception is not possible for a longer period. You can also switch the device off by means of the On/Off switch if you experience a short interruption in your journey, pressing the same switch again will reactivate a restart. The GPS receiver will also be reactivated at the same time, if the navigation software is still active. There may be a delay for the position to be updated again, this is dependant on the reception situation.

Note

Please note that your appliance is preset to not shut down automatically after a few minutes without activity. You can change this preset in the Settings mode. If the GPS receiver has not been active for some hours, it must orientate itself again. This process may take a while.

TMC (Traffic Message Channel)

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is a digital radio data service that functions in a similar way to RDS and is used to transmit disruptions to traffic to a suitable reception device.

The traffic information is continuously transmitted across FM.

The user is less dependent on the half-hourly broadcast traffic information, because the signal is continuously transmitted. Apart from this, important information, as in the case of an accident in the road ahead, can be passed on immediately.

The transmission is planned for the whole of Europe and is already offered by radio transmitters in many countries. The precision of the TMC messages can deviate greatly according to the country. At time of printing a TMC service is not available in Ireland.

The evaluation of TMC messages is not supported by every type of navigation software. Enquire whether your system supports TMC before the possible purchase of a TMC receiver.

Connecting the TMC Dipole Aerial (optional)

A TMC receiver is integrated into your navigation system, to receive traffic information. However, reception will only be guaranteed if the TMC angled aerial supplied with the device has been connected.

Plug the jack plug of the TMC angled aerial into the earphone connection of your navigation system.

Attach the aerial, on the edge of your windscreen, for example, with the help of the sucker.

Place the aerial so that a distance of approx. 10 cm from the metal frame of the screen is maintained.

TMC reception can be improved by different aerial positioning, according to the vehicle.

≥10CM

Your navigation system will now be able to receive traffic information through the TMC receiver and thus direct you away from disruptions to traffic.

Working with Memory Cards

Your navigation system supports MMC and SD memory cards.

Inserting Memory Cards

  1. Carefully take the optional memory card out of its packing (if included). Take care not to touch or dirty the contacts.
  2. Insert the memory card carefully into the card bay with contacts pointing forward. The card must lock easily.

Removing Memory Cards

Note

Only remove the memory card if the navigation software has been closed and the device has been switched off by means of the On/Off button beforehand. Otherwise you will risk a loss of data.

  1. To remove the card press lightly onto the upper edge until it ejects.
  2. Pull the card out without touching the contacts.
  3. Store the memory card in the packaging or in another safe location.

Note

Memory cards are very fragile. Take care not to dirty the contacts and not to force the card.

Accessing Memory Cards

- The appliance only supports memory cards in the FAT16/32 file format. If you insert a card prepared with a different format (e.g. in cameras, MP3 players), your navigation system may not recognise it and will ask you to format it again.

Attention!

Formatting the memory card irretrievably wipes out all data.

Data Exchange via Card Reader

If you wish to copy large quantities of data (MP3 files, navigation maps) to the memory card, these can also be stored directly to the memory card.

Many computers already have memory card devices. Insert the card into your computer and copy the data directly to the card.

Because of the direct access you can achieve a much higher transfer rate compared to using ActiveSync ® .

Additional Card Material

Your navigation system is already equipped with digitalised map material in the internal memory and/or memory card at the factory. Depending on the configuration, additional maps may be included on your navigation DVD. You will be able to transfer these cards to a memory card immediately. It is recommended that you use an external card reader (see also page 51). The GoPal Assistant supplied with the device enables a simple and individual compilation of the map material to be transferred.

Depending on the amount of map data on the navigation DVD, memory cards with capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB, 1.024 MB or more may be required.

You can obtain additional memory cards (MMC or SD cards) in specialist stores.

Transfer of card material to a memory card

The transfer of additional card material to a memory card can take place through Explorer on your PC via the following steps:

  1. Insert the DVD with the card material required.
  2. Start your workstation and select your DVD Drive.
  3. Copy the file with the .psf ending out of the Directory of the region that you require to the MapRegions Directory on your memory card, from the DVD.

You can transfer several files with map material to your memory card, depending on the capacity of the memory card.

If you have copied digitized maps of several countries or country groups onto your memory card, you will be required to select the desired map in the navigation application of your device.

Alternate method of installing Navigation Software (using a Memory Card)

The software for your navigation system can be installed directly from a memory card.

The pre-installed software may have to be uninstalled beforehand (see special Clean Up function, Page 42).

You will be requested to install the navigation software during the initial adjustment.

Please proceed as follows:

  1. Remove the memory card from the packaging carefully. Ensure the contacts are not touched or soiled.
  2. Push the memory card into the SD-/MMC slot until it engages.
  3. Click on OK, in order to install the application.

The main screen, through which you will now be able to carry out the navigation settings, will appear after all data has been copied to your navigation system.

Transferring Installation Files and Map Material to the Internal Memory

Note

The navigation system must be connected to a computer by means of ActiveSync ® for the transfer of the data.

Your device has an internal, permanent memory, which is located in the \My Flash Disk directory.

You will be able to make this directory, and others, visible with ActiveSync ® , by means of the Search option. Directories and files can be manipulated as in Windows Explorer.

The required directory must have been stored, in order to make the installation files and the map material for the device available.

Deposit the INSTALL directory for the installation files at (\My Flash Disk\INSTALL). Deposit the map material in the MapRegions directory (\My Flash Disk\MapRegions). Please pay attention to the modes of lettering given above when naming the directories.

Pay attention to the fact that sufficient drive capacity must be available, if you have stored additional data on your navigation device. Remove files not needed if sufficient drive capacity is not available.
