RC 09 infrared steering-wheel remote control 7 Allgemeines Kurzanlei- Zieleingabe Touren Zielspeicher Einstellun- Anhang General Information You can also use the TMC data received by a Blaupunkt car radio.

The hotline number is listed on the last page of these instructions. 8 How navigation works Your TravelPilot DX-V uses GPS, a satellite-supported locating system, to determine the current position of the vehicle. GPS stands for Global Positioning System, a system which can be used to reliably determine your location anywhere in the world. A "gyroscope" and the electronic speedometer signal are also used to track the vehicle's movements. The TravelPilot DX-V navigation system compares this data with the data stored in digital form on the navigation CD-ROM and uses it to calculate the routes in route guidance. If the TravelPilot DX-V is connected to a TMC source ("TMC D-Namic tuner box" or appropriately equipped car radio), it will be able to take the current traffic situation into account when calculating the route. For more information on TMC, please refer to the section on "Dynamic Route Guidance with TMC". Switching the unit on If the TravelPilot DX-V has been properly connected to the vehicle ignition and continuous plus, the TravelPilot DX-V will switch on automatically when you start your vehicle. General Information Operating introduction When the system is started for the first time, an operating introduction explaining the functions of the remote control will appear. Then you can select whether or not this introduction is shown each time the TravelPilot DX-V is switched on. Plus Point: You can activate or deactivate the operating introduction at any time in the "Settings" menu. For more information, please refer to the section on "Settings", "Switching the operating introduction on/off". Theft protection system It is possible to activate a coding for your TravelPilot DX-V so that the TravelPilot DX-V cannot be operated after it has been disconnected from the battery (e.g. in the event that it is stolen). If the coding is active, it will be necessary to enter the code number before the unit can be operated again after it has been disconnected from the battery. You will find the code number in the TravelPilot DX-V equipment passport. Never keep this passport in your vehicle! For more information on activating/deactivating the coding and how to switch on coded equipment after it has been disconnected from the battery, please refer to the section on "Settings", "Activating/deactivating the safety code".
