1_Introduction
Thank you for choosing the ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 to accompany you and help you during your travels.
The ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 is ergonomically designed to be as intuitive as possible. This manual nevertheless
contains precise instructions, together with tips and advice, for each of the many functions that the device offers.
They are intended to help you to get the best out of your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 device.
This PND (Personal Navigation Device) is fitted with a touch screen for better ergonomics.
The package you have purchased contains:
• 1 ViaMichelin Navigation X-970
• 2 Car mounting systems for windshield or dashboard use
• 1 Cigarette lighter cable
• 1 USB cable
• 1 Power adapter
• 1 SD card with USA and Canada already loaded
• 1 ViaMichelin Navigation DVD-ROM
• 1 Installation diagram
• QuickStart manual
Before installing the ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 mobile device in your car, we recommend that you familiarize
yourself with how the system operates.
When you first operate your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970, please connect it to the cigarette lighter socket or to
your (switched on) PC using the USB cable or the power adapter supplied with your unit for about four hours. You
may notice that the indicator light in the top left-hand corner of your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 changes color
according to the battery power level:
• Indicator Light is Red: the ViaMichelin PND is charging or run down.
• Indicator Light is Green: the ViaMichelin PND is charged.
The ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has a battery life of approximately 3 hours. This battery life depends on how the
device is used. For example the sound volume and screen brightness as well as using the “hands-free” function on
your PND may considerably reduce this battery life.
You will find other helpful information and updates to this manual on the dedicated Navigation website:
http://www.ViaMichelin.com

2.2 Installing the hardware in a vehicle
• To benefit from better mounting if necessary, unscrew the suction pad slightly from the support.
• Install the mounting system on the windsheild by applying pressure to the suction pad and then turning the screw
clockwise.
• Start your vehicle.
• Connect the cigarette-lighter cable to your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 mounting system (socket on the right-
hand side) and then to your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter socket.
• Mount your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 by sliding it onto the mounting system as shown on the installation
diagram provided.
• Turn on your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 and plan your journey.
FOR YOUR SAFETY:
- Make sure you position the mounting system in a place where it will not obstruct visibility or
interfere with driving the vehicle.
- Make sure you position the cigarette lighter cable in a place where it will not obstruct visibility or
interfere with driving the vehicle.
- Make sure you plan your destination when the vehicle is stationary. We strongly recommend that
you not operate the device while driving.
2.3 Installing the software pre-recorded on the SD card
ViaMichelin Navigation is a “Plug & Drive” solution: simply install the SD memory card provided on the left side of your
PND. The card must be fully inserted face up in the direction of the blue arrow as shown in the illustration below:
To remove the SD card from the device, press on the side of the SD card and release. The SD card will then be
ejected from the device.
Then follow the installation instructions displayed on your screen:
• Select the language for the menus
• Configure keyboard
• Select the voice guidance language
When choosing the voice guidance language, you may select a traditional pre-recorded voice (6 languages
available: American English, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) or voice synthesis (6 languages
available: American English, English, French, German, Italian and Spanish) which will guide you with
instructions concerning road names, directions, road signs or traffic information messages.
• Voice guidance settings
• Select the distance unit
• Select map display
• Time display format
• Set the time
8
•
To select the setting you want, click on the arrows to the left or right of the different choices
then click
on the arrow at the bottom of the screen to move to the next setting or go back to the previous setting
to modify it. After installing the software on your PND you can change the selected settings from the different
menus in the “Settings” menu.
Once the SD card programs are installed you reach the legal disclaimer screen. After clicking the “I Accept” button
you reach the Main Menu. The following chapters explain how to use it:
Your ViaMichelin X-970 Navigation is now ready to guide you!
Comments:
• If you switch on your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 without first inserting an SD card, a demonstration
mode will run automatically after 90 seconds. To stop the demonstration, simply insert the supplied SD card
into the slot provided. You will then be able to start using your product.
• Make sure that your SD card is not locked: safety in the “lock” position, this may impair the operation of
the ViaMichelin Navigation software. (In this position, the contents of your SD card are protected but the
software will not be able to save settings required for the software to run properly).
• Use only the SD card supplied with your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970. Do not use it in other devices (digital
cameras, PDA, MP3, etc.).
• Do not change its content without using the ViaMichelin “Content Manager” program.
• Your SD card contains the data needed to activate the DVD-ROM provided. To avoid any problems with your
SD card, we strongly recommend that you activate the DVD-ROM provided in your pack before using your
ViaMichelin Navigation X-970.
You can then install the PC application “Content Manager” which will allow you not only to use the advanced
functions provided by ViaMichelin Navigation X-970, such as the new “My ViaMichelin” to transfer your personal
data to your mobile device directly from the ViaMichelin web site: http://www.ViaMichelin.com to export points
of interest (POI) and to manage the map sets, but also to restore the initial content of your SD card if necessary (see
Chapter 13 – Content Manager).

2.4 Activating the GPS
• After connecting your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 and installing the software on the SD card, go to the Main
Menu, and click Settings / Navigation / GPS. This will take you directly to the page presenting GPS reception:
When using your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 for the first time, we recommend you to do so in an open space in
order to ensure the best possible satellite reception. Activating the GPS system for the first time can take several
minutes, depending on the surroundings and the quality of the GPS signals.
Similarly, when setting off on a calculated route, you need to start moving so that the system can determine the
direction and speed of the vehicle and suggest a route corresponding to your traffic direction.
Detailed instructions for installing and using the GPS are given in Chapter 6.2.2 of this manual.

• green the device is using the satellite signals to calculate your position.
• The numbers under the vertical bars give the number of the American satellite.
Coordinates: longitude and latitude calculated by the system.
Direction arrow: shows the direction of travel between 2 position calculations by the GPS.
• Click on “Back” to return to the previous screen.
Comment:
The ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 is fitted with an SiRF Star III type GPS, the latest generation of GPS, which
works even in poor reception conditions.
After selecting a destination and before the navigation instructions show your route, the GPS must have three
pieces of information to calculate the route: the position, direction of travel and speed. You may consult the GPS
screen on your mobile device to follow the GPS signal acquisition.
The time the GPS takes to acquire this information varies depending on how much time has elapsed since the
device was last used:
• your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has not been switched on for more than 24 hours (“cold start”): in this
case the time needed to acquire satellite signals may be quite long (10-15 minutes), and the message “Satellite
detection. This may take several minutes” is displayed on the navigation screen.
• your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 has not been switched on for more than 4 hours (“warm start”): GPS reception
may take several minutes (5 minutes) and the message “Satellite signal acquisition in progress” is displayed on
the navigation screen.
• you switch on your ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 after switching it off a few minutes ago (“hot start”): satellite
reception is almost immediate and navigation can continue.
GPS acquisition time also varies depending on the surroundings:
• athermic windscreens: if your vehicle is equipped with an athermic windscreen, GPS reception may be
slower.
• car park/tunnel/building: satellite signals do not travel through walls, so you will not receive a GPS signal if your
device is in a building, car park, tunnel, etc.
• urban “canyoning”: reception will be slower in urban areas if buildings are high, streets narrow or there
are a lot of trees. Go to an open space to improve reception.
• weather conditions: in poor weather (heavy snow, etc.), GPS reception may take slightly longer.
When using ViaMichelin Navigation X-970 for the first time, we advise you to do so in an open space in order to
ensure the best possible satellite reception. Activating the GPS system for the first time can take several minutes,
depending on the surroundings and the quality of the GPS signals.

The default speeds in the “Speed alert” table are:
Highways 130 km/h 80 Mph
Expressways 110 km/h 70 Mph
Roads 90 km/h 55 Mph
Towns 50 km/h 30 Mph
The range of speed limit settings for the type of road is between 30 kph and 180 kph or between 25 mph and 110mph.
This function takes account of the type of road given in the map database without adding more detail about the
surroundings or special features of a section.
For example:
A highway may be limited to 55 mph on some sections instead of 70 mph by default. When the map database
identifies an “expressway” it will not indicate the section limited to 55 mph. A “road”, on the other hand, may have
the same speed limit as an expressway in some places. The Speed Warner will then indicate excess speed although
the traffic regulations authorize this speed.
“Speed alerts” should therefore be used for information, but as with all navigation information supplied by your
ViaMichelin Navigation X-970, this information is subject to traffic regulations.
