A partial - or soft reset - restarts your ViaMichelin Navigation X970 if the application crashes. To perform a soft reset, press the “Reset” point on the back of your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 (with an opened out paperclip, for example). The soft reset closes the application and restarts the ViaMichelin Navigation software. Comment: Only procedures running at the time of the reset may be lost (e.g. the current route). How do I perform a “full” or “hard reset”? A full - or hard reset - restores your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 to its initial conditions. After this operation, you will need to reinstall the software. To perform a hard reset: - connect your device to the cigarette-lighter cable, the USB cable or a power cord. - remove the SD card from the PND. - perform a reset by pressing the “Reset” at the back of the device then, just after doing so, press the ON/OFF button and keep it pressed, without the card. - after a few seconds a message and a countdown appear on the screen. Keep the ON/OFF button pressed down until the end of the countdown. - put the SD card back into the PND and reinstall the ViaMichelin Navigation program. The device does not switch on when I press the “ON/OFF” button: Connect your device to the cigarette lighter cable or power adapter for at least 4 hours to fully recharge your PND. If the charge indicator diode does not switch on after several hours of recharging and the diode does not switch to green, please contact your reseller to have your device checked. During navigation, the voice messages are in another language: In the Main Menu, go to Options > General > Language and select the Voice Guidance language you want. How do I update my POIs? Use POI Manager to download and add your POI files from the ViaMichelin web site: http://www.ViaMichelin.com What is the difference between the Shortest and the Quickest route? When preparing a route, it is possible to specify that the system should calculate the journey on the basis of the criterion “Quickest route” or “Shortest route”. The “Shortest route” criterion selects the most direct road journey between the points of departure and arrival. The “Quickest route” calculates the shortest route on roads which have the highest average speeds. For more information, please see Section 10_NOTES AND TIPS 94 How do you go about installing the DVD-ROM on the PC if you get a CRC error message when you start the DVD-ROM?
