From now on MobileNavigator, your navigation system, will guide you, based on satellite information, quickly and safely to your destination. The Global Positioning System (GPS) has originally been developed in the 70ies, as a weapon guidance system for the American forces. The GPS is based on 24 satellites, which are in orbit round the earth and which are permanently emitting signals. The GPS receiver receives these signals and calculates, based on the runtime of the signals, his distance from the respective satellites. This information serves for calculation your current geographic position. The signals of at least three satellites are needed to determine the longitude and the latitude. With the signals of at least four satellites the elevation may be calculated, too. The determination has an accuracy of about 3 yards. MobileNavigator GPS-based navigation Navigation with GPS The delivered maps contain the geographic coordinates of the points of interest, streets and towns they represent. Thus the navigation system can calculate a route from a given start point to a given destination point. In case your navigation system receives the signals of at least three satellites it may determine your current position and represent it on the map. This position may then serve as start point for navigation purposes. As the determination and representation of your position is carried out once a second, you may watch your movements on the map. Before you begin - 13 - User's manual MobileNavigator | 5 2.4 Note Important safety information In your own interest, read the following notices and safety information carefully before starting up your navigation system. 2.4.1 Safety information on navigation Use of MobileNavigator is executed at your own risk. Caution: To protect yourself and others from accidents please do not operate the navigation system while driving! Caution: You must not look at the display except when it is absolutely safe to do so! Caution: The road layout and the traffic signs are absolutely prior to the instructions of the navigation system. Caution: You must not follow the instructions of MobileNavigator except when the circumstances and the road traffic regulations allow doing so. MobileNavigator will guide you to your destination even when you have left your planned itinerary. Note: We recommend effecting route planning before beginning the journey. If you are on the road and you want to establish a new itinerary, please drive to the next parking site! Note: If you have not understood the instructions or if you are not sure about what to do next you may quickly refer to the map or arrow view of your navigation system. - 14 - Important safety information User's manual MobileNavigator | 5 2.4.2 Safety information on handling the PNA Caution: As it is not waterproof, do not expose your navigation device to water! For example, protect it from rain, snow or hail when you are on your way by bike or on foot. Caution: Disconnect the navigation device from the power supply when you are leaving the car parked for a long period of time. Failure to do so might result in a dead battery since the internal GPS receiver constantly consumes electricity. Note: Do not use any harsh solvents for cleaning the PNA. A damp, lint-free cloth is sufficient! Note: Do not unplug by pulling the cable. This might damage the cable! 2.4.3 Safety information on the installation in the vehicle Caution: Do not fix the holder within the deployment zone of airbags. Caution: When you install the holder, please check that it may not constitute any safety risk, even in case of an accident.
