• The unit may only be operated if the traffic situation allows for this and if you are absolutely certain that you yourself,
your fellow passengers or other road users will not be put at risk, encumbered or disturbed by this.
• The rules of applicable road traffic acts must be observed at all times. Destinations may only be input when the vehicle is
stationary.
• The navigational system is only an aid. The data/details provided may in some cases be incorrect. The driver must always
decide whether to follow the details given or not. We accept no liability for the navigational system issuing incorrect
details. As a result of traffic routing changes and deviating data, inaccurate or incorrect instructions may be given. Drivers
should always pay attention to the actual road signs and traffic control. In particular, the navigational system cannot be
used as a means of orientation in cases of poor visibility.
• The unit may only be used for its intended purpose. The volume of the navigational system should be set so that noises
outside the vehicle can still be heard.
• The unit should be switched off immediately if faults occur (e.g. development of smoke or smells).
• For safety reasons, the unit may only be opened by a specialist. Please contact your local stockist if you require repairs.
• The SD memory card can be removed. Caution! Small children could swallow it.
• The mains voltages (V) indicated on the mains charger, the car charger adapter and the unit must not be exceeded. Failure
to observe this can result in destruction of the unit and the charger as well as explosion of the rechargeable battery.
• Never open the unit or the rechargeable battery. Any modification to the unit is also impermissible and renders the type
approval invalid.
• Use only genuine BECKER original accessories. This will ensure that all the relevant regulations are complied with and
damage to health and property is avoided. Dispose of defective units and the rechargeable battery according to the
applicable legal requirements.

The Traffic Assist
Use
The Traffic Assist is a powerful PND
(Personal Navigation Device) for use in
vehicles and closed spaces. The unit
should be protected from dampness and
dirt.
The Traffic Assist can be used as:
• navigational unit
• MP3 (device for playing music)
• JPEG picture viewer
• Video player
• Can be used as a very convenient hands-
free unit via Bluetooth®
Navigation
Thanks to GPS = Global Positioning Sys-
tem, you no longer need to spend hours
searching through road atlases.
Once outside buildings, the receiver an-
tenna integrated in the unit gives you con-
tinuous access to navigational possibili-
ties. Depending on reception, you may
not be able to use the navigational func-
tion inside buildings. When used in vehi-
cles, you may not be able to adequately re-
ceive GPS data depending on how the
Traffic Assist is installed. In such cases,
you will have to connect up an external
antenna (does not fall within the scope of
supply).
The Traffic Assist with TMC is equipped
with TMC, which gives you the option of
receiving traffic announcements via the
TMC antenna provided. Traffic an-
nouncements are transmitted when the
TMC is active. The system plans an alter-
native route automatically or on request to
avoid traffic problems, depending on the
setting.
Music
Thanks to the integrated MP3-Player, you
can listen to your favourite tracks when on
the go.
Pictures
The Traffic Assist has a Picture Viewer of-
fering many functions for viewing pic-
tures.
Video
Traffic Assist features a video player for
playing videos.
Telephone
Your Traffic Assist is equipped with Blue-
tooth® wireless technology. You can con-
nect a mobile phone equipped with Blue-
tooth® wireless technology to it via
Bluetooth. Your Traffic Assist the serves
as a very convenient hands-free unit.

must be stored in a protected dry place
away from direct sunlight in the pack-
aging supplied. Avoid touching or dirt-
ying the contact strip.
You will find more details about the mem-
ory card under:
• "Technical Data" on page 106
Notes:
The complete European map set requires
approximately 1.8 GB of memory space.
If you intend to listen to music, look at
pictures or watch videos on the Traffic
Assist. We recommend that you store the
relevant data on a separate memory card
(not included in scope of delivery).
If you would like to listen to music with
the Traffic Assist during navigation, the
music must be stored on the supplied
memory card. The Traffic Assist does not
support the changing of memory cards
during navigation.

Maintenance and care
The unit is maintenance-free.
For proper care, a commercially available
cleansing fluid for electrical devices may
be applied using a soft damp cloth.
Your mobile navigation system was de-
signed 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 im-
mediately 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 environ-
ment.
• Do not store your mobile navigation
system in hot environments. High tem-
peratures 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 elec-
tronic 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 chem-
icals, cleaning solutions or aggressive
detergents for cleaning.
All the above information applies equally
to the mobile navigation system, the re-
chargeable battery, the mains charging
and car power adapters as well as all acces-
sories. Should one of these parts not work
properly, please contact your authorised
dealer.
!Danger!
Danger to life by electrocution. Always
switch off the unit and disconnect the
mains power supply unit before clean-
ing 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.
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 navi-
gation system. In the event of a significant
loss of capacity, we recommend replace-
ment of the rechargeable battery. Please
contact your authorised dealer. Use only
genuine BECKER original spare parts.
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. However, such in-
stances do not represent a product flaw.
Start-up
Once the Traffic Assist has been unpacked
and checked for damage, the unit can be
started up. The individual start-up stages
are:
• insert memory card
• connect to power supply
• Switching on the unit
• Ensuring antenna reception (if naviga-
tion is desired)
Memory card
The memory card provided has a storage
capacity of 2 GB and offers sufficient
space for the complete European map set,
the Traffic Assist does not support larger
memory cards.
The complete European map set requires
approximately 1.8 GB of memory space.
If you intend to listen to music, look at
pictures or watch videos on the Traffic
Assist. We recommend that you store the
relevant data on a separate memory card
(not included in scope of delivery).
If you would like to listen to music with
the Traffic Assist during navigation, the
music must be stored on the supplied
memory card. The Traffic Assist does not
support the changing of memory cards
during navigation.
The card slot is located on the left side of
the unit. The card compartment is
equipped with a spring-actuated lock and
ejection mechanism.
Inserting memory card
>Remove the memory card from its
packaging without touching or soiling
the contact bar.
>Hold the memory card such that the
contact bar faces towards the rear of the
unit.
>Guide the memory card into the card
slot.
>Exert a little pressure and slide the
memory card into the card slot until it
snaps in.
Ejecting memory card
The card slot ejects the card so that you
can pull it out with two fingers.
>Use your finger to gently press the
memory card against the spring force
into the card slot and then release it.
The card is ejected.
>Remove the memory card and place it
in the packaging while ensuring not to
touch contact bar.
Notes:
A small slider is located on one side of the
card.
Notes:
The memory card should only ever be in-
serted and ejected when the unit is
switched off. If the unit is not switched
off, data may be lost.
Navigational operations are not possible if
the memory card containing card data is
not inserted. If you remove this during
navigation, directions to your destination
will be aborted immediately.
At home, the Traffic Assist can be pow-
ered by means of the supplied mains pow-
er supply unit. In the vehicle, the cable for
the cigarette lighter can be used (also sup-
plied). In both cases, the internal battery
of the Traffic Assist is charged. The power
supply can either be connected directly to
the Traffic Assist, or to the docking sta-
tion.
Using the battery
The internal power supply is via the inte-
grated rechargeable battery. The recharge-
able battery is maintenance-free and does
not require any particular care.
Connecting to socket
Connecting up to power supply
The mains power supply unit is connected
to the public mains grid as follows:
>Hold the connector and push it, with-
out using excessive force, to the stop in
the relevant connecting socket on the
Traffic Assist or the docking station.
Notes:
• Please note that TMC reception is only
possible when the power supply is con-
nected to the docking station.
• If the unit battery is completely dis-
charged, connect the power supply. It
may take up to a minute before the
Traffic Assist can be switched on again.
Note:
Please note that with a completely dis-
charged battery, the unit requires up to
one minute until it can be switched on
again.
!Danger of Death!
Make sure that your hands are not damp
and that the mains section is dry. Only
connect the mains section to a mains
supply with which such purposes are
permitted.
>Use the plug to insert the mains section
in the socket.
Removing power supply
>To remove the power supply, proceed
in reverse.
Connecting to the cigarette
lighter

The memory card provided has a storage
capacity of 2 GB and offers sufficient
space for the complete European map set,
the Traffic Assist does not support larger
memory cards.
If you should lose the supplied memory
card or if it should become defective, the
map set can be installed on another mem-
ory card.
Installation program
There is a map installation program on
the map DVD. Once the DVD is inserted
in a personal computer's DVD drive, this
program will usually start up automatical-
ly. The program guides you through the
installation process.
Otherwise, you will have to start the pro-
gram manually.
>Open Windows® Explorer.
>Select your DVD drive folder.
>Double click on the "Setup.exe" file.
Transferring files
Files can be transferred indirectly via the
memory card or directly via the USB port.
Transferring using the SD
card reader
The simplest and fastest form of transfer is
to use a standard SD card reader (does not
fall within the scope of supply). The
memory card is plugged into this.
The files required are then saved on
the memory card using the computer's
software.
Transferring using the USB
port
The USB port is used to link the Traffic
Assist directly to a personal computer.
The Microsoft® Active Sync program
must be installed for transmission. Micro-
soft® Active Sync is contained on the
DVD provided.
The link then involves several steps:
>Switch off Traffic Assist.
>Link the Traffic Assist and computer
using the USB cable.
>Switch on Traffic Assist again (do not
press the screen after the unit is
switched on).
ActiveSync automatically sets up a link to
the Traffic Assist.
Note:
Only the maps supplied in the Traffic As-
sist may be used. The installation or
transfer of files or programs which limit
or modify the function of the Traffic As-
sist is prohibited!
The installation software from the DVD
should be used for the transfer. This in-
volves the following stages:
>switch off Traffic Assist.
>remove memory card and plug into an
SD card reading device or the use the
USB cable to connect the Traffic Assist
to the computer.
>boot up the computer and insert the
DVD.
>use the installation program to transfer
the map required.
>slide the memory card back into the
Traffic Assist or correctly remove the
USB cable.
>switch the Traffic Assist back on. The
new map is available right away
Transmitting music tracks,
pictures and videos
As the complete European map set occu-
pies virtually all the memory space on the
memory card provided, pictures, music
and videos should be stored on a separate
memory card (not included in scope of de-
livery).
The files can be transferred via a card read-
er or the USB connection.
Faults
Faults in the operating system or in the
unit are displayed. If the desired function
cannot then be executed, the Traffic Assist
should be restarted using the On/Off
switch or the reset button.
If the messages reappear or the unit
does not function correctly for any other
reason, please contact your local stockist.
Note:
Use obvious folder names because these
will help you later when you are trying to
find the file you want in the Traffic As-
sist.
Note:
Never attempt to open the unit yourself.
Please contact your authorised dealer if
you are unable to remedy the fault.
What is navigation?
Navigation (Latin navigare = to travel by
sea) is generally understood to mean find-
ing the position of a vehicle, determining
the direction of and distance from the de-
sired destination and establishing and fol-
lowing a route to this destination. Naviga-
tional aids include the stars, distinct
objects, a compass and satellites.
The Traffic Assist uses its GPS receiver to
find the vehicle's position. (The Global
Positioning System (GPS) was developed
by the US military in the 1970's as a mis-
sile guidance system.
GPS is based on a total of 24 satellites cir-
cling the earth which continuously emit
signals. The GPS receiver receives these
signals and uses the delay of each of the
signals to calculate its distance from the
individual satellites. In turn, it can use this
information to determine its current geo-
graphical position.
The signals of at least three satellites are
needed to establish position. If four or
more signals are available, height above
sea level can also be calculated).
Traffic Assist determines the direction of
and distance to the destination with the
aid of a digital road atlas on the SD card
and the navigation computer.
For safety, directions to the designation
are mainly provided verbally. The direc-
tion display and map diagram on the
touch screen are further aids.
!Safety information
• The road traffic act takes precedence in
all circumstances. The navigational sys-
tem is only an aid. The data/details
provided may in some cases be incor-
rect. The driver must always decide
whether to follow the details given or
not.
We accept no liability for the naviga-
tional system issuing incorrect details.
• When first started up, it may take up to
30 minutes before a position can be de-
termined.
• Precedence should always be given to
actual traffic signs and local traffic
rules.
• The directions only relate to cars. Spe-
cial recommendations and rules for
other vehicles (e.g. commercial vehi-
cles) are not taken into consideration.
• Destinations may only be input when
the vehicle is stationary.
Navigational mode is called up from the
main menu.

is displayed and/or when each character is
entered, a possible postcode is displayed.
When the towns are displayed, large
towns have priority over the alphabetical
sequence. Example: If you enter the initial
letter “K”, the Traffic Assist indicates
“Köln” as a possible city, and not the town
which is first alphabetically. Traffic Assist
rules out all impossible combinations of
letters and postcodes and only activates
those boxes of letters and/or characters

"prefix" (e.g. via Gran Mundo) needs
to be entered afterwards (e.g. Gran
Mundo_via).
• If you enter a post code, the name of
the town initially disappears in the in-
put menu. Next, enter the name of the
street names. The name of the town is
then also displayed.
Note:
If two words have to be entered, these

What is dynamic route guid-
ance?
Dynamic route guidance calculates the
route, while taking into account current
traffic announcements.
Traffic announcements are transmitted by
radio stations via the TMC (Traffic Mes-
sage Channel) in addition to the radio
programme and are received and analysed
by the navigation system. Receiving traffic
announcements is free of charge.
A continuous check is made for the pres-
ence of relevant messages for the selected
route. However, traffic problems are also
shown on the map even if route guidance
is deactivated.
If these continuous checks determine that
a traffic announcement is relevant to route
guidance, the unit will automatically re-
calculate a new route to the destination
(See “The TMC button” on page 63.).
Note:
Dynamic route guidance is not available
for all countries (currently only Belgium,
Germany, Denmark, France, Italy, The
Netherlands, Austria, Sweden, Switzer-
land and Spain).
TMC reception must be available in or-
der to activate dynamic navigation and
the functions described below.
Note:
As the traffic announcements are trans-
mitted by radio stations, we cannot as-
sume responsibility for the completeness
or accuracy of the announcements.
Austria: The location and event code was
made available by ASFINAG and BM-
VIT.
Displaying TMC messages on
the map
Current TMC messages are displayed on
the map graphically. Sections of the route
where there are traffic problems are high-
lighted blue. Arrows continue to be dis-
played, which indicate the traffic direction
which is affected by the traffic problem.
In addition to the coloured mark, a warn-
ing sign is displayed on the stretch of road
affected.
Using TMC
Once you have connected the TMC an-
tenna, your Traffic Assist will receive cur-
rent traffic announcements and dynamic
route calculation will be enabled (traffic
jam diversion). You can also view traffic
announcements directly.
To preset the TMC, See "The TMC but-
ton" on page 63.
>In the map display, activate the (see also
page 70) toolbar and press
.
or
