When I power on my device again the time set is 12.00h and the date is 1 January 2003

The device does not have a battery to keep it at the correct time after powering off. This means that the time and date are reset when powering off. However, the navigation software synchronises the time and date automatically according to the current value as soon as the GPS position has been determined. This automatic setting is "on" by default. Wait approx. 3 minutes after the GPS position has been tracked. Afterwards the device will show the current time and date.

The device does not charge using the car charging cable. Why?

Check the fine wire fuse in the plug. The exact security type specification is "F3AL 250V".

My device does not power on. After switching on the screen remains blank or only the MyGuide logo appears on the display.

The remaining battery power is not sufficient for powering on the device. Connect the device to the power adapter/car charger and connect it to a wall outlet/the car cigarette lighter. Next, turn the device on.

The screen responds very slowly.

Make sure that the battery is charged. If the problem persists, reset the system. To do so, power the device off and back on.

The device doesn't respond any more.

Power the device off and back on.

Wrong command or response after tapping with the stylus.

Re-calibrate the touchscreen.

Bad or no GPS reception.

Make sure that the GPS antenna has clear sight to the sky. The GPS reception can be altered by the following:

• bad weather
• dense and high obstacles (e.g. trees or buildings)
• other RF devices in the vehicle
• tinted or reflective /metallised windscreens
