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. He will be pleased to assist. 17 General operations 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. In the event of a significant loss of capacity, we recommend replacement of the rechargeable battery. Please contact your authorised dealer. Use only genuine BECKER original spare parts.

This takes several minutes. Do not switch the unit off during this configuration. Note: Using USB memory sticks to play MP3 files or display images may significantly decrease the capacity of the battery. Note: Using USB memory sticks (for MP3s) may interfere with the GPS signal. 5013 SD-Card The card supplied with the unit has a capacity of 2 GB and space for a set of road maps and a limited number of MP3 files and/or images. The number of music/image files that can be stored on the card depends on the size of the files. Alternatively, you can connect a USB memory stick to the USB port to play MP3 files or display images. 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.
