Only look at the screen if the current driving conditions allow you do to so in
complete safety. Do not watch it while driving if using the ArchOS in the regular
multimedia or video mode. Playing media files while mounted to your windshield
or within view of the driver may be illegal. Inform yourself about local “driver dis-
traction” laws and obey them.
To protect against the risk of accidents for you or other drivers, do not operate the
GPS device while you are driving.

circulation signs and indicators on the roadway have absolute priority over GPS
navigational instructions.
Only mount the GPS in such a way that is does not impede your ability to control
your vehicle as normal. Note that humidity, temperature, and time play a role in the
adhesive properties of the suction cup. The mounting area should be at least 15°
centigrade (60° Fahrenheit) for a secure mount. Security also includes placing or
running cables in a safe manner and which will not get entangled in the steering
wheel or other movable controls. Do no mount the device such that it could cause
personal harm even in the case of an accident (in front of an airbag for example).
Because the GPS cannot know all road changes, do not rely solely on GPS infor-
mation, for example, the speed limit of the current road.
Do not rely solely on the voice commands to guide you along your route. The
timing of the voice commands such as “Turn right” or “Turn left” will be made in
varying distances in advance of the calculated route’s turns. This voice command
could coincidentally be made while there is another street directly available to
you. Or, the voice command may come later than that which allows you to safely
manoeuvre your vehicle to make the turn. Immediately obeying such a command
could require you to make a brisk and dangerous manoeuvre which could cause
harm to yourself or other drivers.
Unplug the power cable from your cigarette lighter when the car is parked. Your
GPS will continue to consume energy and could discharge your car battery if left
for an extended period.

in-car holder. See section 2.2.
the car power adapter: in order for the GpS to function, the power adapter MuST be con-
nected to the in-car holder and to the cigarette lighter.
2 archos connection cables (one for the ARCHOS 605 and one for next generation devices): in order for the
GpS to function, this cable MuST be connected to the in-car holder and to the ARCHOS player.

This dVd installation is not needed if you have purchased the bundled version (the version which includes an ARCHOS
player & a GpS in-car holder). In this case, the software and maps have already been installed and activated on the
device. However, the dVd can be used later for reinstallation.
•

•
before even setting up the GpS in your car, you need to run the installation dVd on
your computer (internet connection required).
This dVd will guide you through the installation and activation of the maps as well as
the installation of the latest software(s). If the installer does not launch automatically
after inserting the dVd, explore the dVd and launch it manually.
follow the on-screen instructions.
The MAp COde (written on the sleeve of the dVd) will be needed during installation (and reinstallation).

After having completed the software setup as explained in the previous section, you are
now ready to install the GpS in your vehicle. please refer to the legal and safety sections
of this manual.
GPS signal reception is highly dependent upon optimal in-car holder placement, vehicle features such as heat reflective
windshields, and the surrounding environment such as mountains and high buildings.
installing the rUbber adapters
1
for the ARCHOS 605 30Gb and 4Gb, use the spacers labeled
A. for other 605 models, use the b spacers. The C and d spac-
ers will be used for next generation ARCHOS players.

2.
Use your fingernail or a sharp object to peal off the two
protective films to expose the sticky surfaces.
Press the appropriate spacers firmly onto these areas of
the car holder.
Where to place yoUr gps?
•
•
find a clean, safe mounting area on your windshield. As the GpS reception antenna is located under
the suction cup, placing the holder on a surface other than the windshield will yield poor reception.
If you have difficulties with reception, check your car manual to see if you have a heat reflective
windshield which may interfere with GpS reception. There may be areas that do not have this prop-
erty and also allow the safe mounting of the in-car holder.
