BECKER Traffic Assist 7914 - Settings 64 - 1

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 aid 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.

Information about general road safety

This Navigational aid is intended and licensed for use in cars, commercial vehicles and buses (vehicle classes M, N and O) with nominal voltage supply of 12 volts.

The unit mounting should be selected so that a correct mounting is ensured and there is no risk of injury should the vehicle be involved in a collision. Do not mount the bracket for the Traffic Assist in the functional area of the airbag. The unit must not restrict the driver's view out of the vehicle.

The power supply must be adequately fused. Disconnect the power supply connector of the Traffic Assist when you switch off your vehicle because the receiver continuously consumes power and may otherwise drain the vehicle battery.

Before setting out, familiarise yourself with the unit and how to operate it. Only operate the unit during travel if the traffic situation makes this possible. The unit volume of the Navigational aid should be set so that noises outside the vehicle (e.g. police sirens) can still be clearly heard.

Use

The Traffic Assist is a powerful PND (Personal Navigation Device) for use in vehicles and closed spaces. The unit should be protected from dampness and dirt.

BECKER Traffic Assist 7914 - Use - 1

natural_image Black rectangular electronic device with a display screen and cable, no visible text or symbols on the device itself.

The Traffic Assist can be used as:

  • navigational unit
    • MP3 (device for playing music)
    • JPEG/BMP picture viewer

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 possi-

bilities. 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).

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.

Unpacking the Traffic Assist

Note:

Your Traffic Assist is supplied in stable packaging. Do not unpack the unit in full if you discover any serious damage to the packaging or its content. If this happens, please contact your local stockist.

Checking the delivery

Before the Traffic Assist is started up, the delivery should be checked to ensure that it is complete and in the correct condition (see also page 12).

It has various functions:

  • if pressed and held down, the Traffic Assist is switched on or off.
    • depending on the menu context, if pressed briefly, you will be returned to the previous entry level.

More maps

When supplied, a set of maps is already installed on the memory card. If this is insufficient for the current location, there are two others on the DVD supplied. These should be loaded on to the memory card.

Map loaded

The map currently loaded can be called up directly from Traffic Assist (see also page 44).

Installation program

There is a map installation program on the map DVD. Once the DVD is inserted in a personal computer's DVD drive, this program will usually start up automatically. The program guides you through the installation process.

Otherwise, you will have to start the program manually.

▶Open Windows ® Explorer.
▶Select your DVD drive folder.

▶Double click on the "Setup.exe" file.

Transferring files

Files can be transferred indirectly via the memory card or directly via the USB port.

Note:

Only the maps supplied in the Traffic Assist may be used. The installation or transfer of files or programs which limit or modify the function of the Traffic Assist is prohibited!

Transferring using the SD card reader

The simplest form of transfer is to use a standard SD card reader (does not fall within the scope of supply). The memory card is plugged into this.

The files required are then saved on the memory card using the computer's software.

General operations

Transferring using the USB port

The USB port is used to link the Traffic Assist directly to a personal computer. For transfers, the Microsoft® Active Sync program must be installed on the computer. This is available free-of-charge from the manufacturer.

BECKER Traffic Assist 7914 - Transferring using the USB port - 1

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

The link then involves several steps:

▶switch off Traffic Assist.
▶link the Traffic Assist and computer using the USB cable.
▶switch the Traffic Assist back on. ActiveSync automatically sets up a link to the Traffic Assist.

Transferring maps

The installation software from the DVD should be used for the transfer. This involves the following stages:

▶switch off Traffic Assist.
▶remove memory card and plug into an SD card reading device or the use the USB cable to connect the Traffic Assist to the computer.
▶boot up the computer and insert the DVD.
▶ use the installation program to transfer the map required.
▶slide the memory card back into the Traffic Assist or correctly remove the USB cable.
▶switch the Traffic Assist back on. The new map is available right away

Transferring pieces of music and pictures

Since the map data takes up virtually all the 1GB memory capacity of the memory card supplied, pictures and music should be saved on to another SD card. The files can be transferred via a card reader or the USB connection.

Note:

Use obvious folder names because these will help you later when you are trying to find the file you want in the Traffic Assist.

General operations

Faults

If unit faults relating to the operating system occur, messages to this effect will be displayed. These should be acknowledged. If the activated function cannot be executed afterwards, the Traffic Assist will have to be restarted.

If the messages reappear or the unit does not function correctly for any other reason, please contact your local stock-ist.

Note:

Never try to rectify a fault on or in the unit yourself!

What is navigation?

Navigation (Latin navigare = to travel by sea) is generally understood to mean finding the position of a vehicle, determining the direction of and distance from the desired destination and establishing and following a route to this destination. Navigational aids include the stars, distinct objects, a compass and satellites.

The Traffic Assist uses its GPS receiver to find the vehicle's position. (The Global Positioning System (GPS) was developed by the US military in the 1970's as a missile guidance system.

GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites circling the earth which continuously emit signals. The GPS receiver receives these signals and uses the delay of each of the signals to calculate its distance from the individual satellites. In turn, it can use this information to determine its current geographical position.

The signals of at least three satellites are needed to establish position. If four or more signals are available, height above sea level can also be calculated).

Traffic Assist determines the direction of and distance to the destination with the aid of a digital road atlas on the SD card and the navigation computer.

For safety, directions to the designation are mainly provided verbally. The direction display and map diagram on the touch screen are further aids.

BECKER Traffic Assist 7914 - What is navigation? - 1

Safety information

• The road traffic act takes precedence in all circumstances. 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.

Active Sync

Active Sync is a Microsoft product. This is the standard synchronisation software for Windows mobile units such as your Traffic Assist. The programme can be downloaded free-of-charge from the internet.

BMP

Abbreviation of Bitmap, a common Windows graphic file format.

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.

(Horizontal Dilution Of Precision)

HDOP states the quality of the positional determination. In theory, values from 0 to 50 are possible, whereby the following applies: the smaller the value the more accurate the positioning (value 0= no deviation from the actual position). Values of up to 8 are acceptable for navigation units.

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.

Memory Card

A re-writable storage card. In the Traffic Assist it is a SD card.

MP3

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

File

Index

File on a CD/storage card/microdrive which contains MPS titles.

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.

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.
