To provide optimum customer support, Falk has set up a service centre which 

handles all aspects relating to warranty claims and repairs.

If you have any questions relating to a guarantee and warranty claim, please 

contact the technical hotline:

+49 1805 - 00 32 33 

(0,14 E /  min. from a German landline, 

mobile prices may vary, max 0.42 E / min.) 

or by e-mail via our contact form:

http://www.falk-outdoor.com/en/service-en/contact.html  

In the event of a technical defect occurring within the guarantee period, you 

can also register the device for a free repair on the following website:

http://www.falk-outdoor.com/en/service-en/guarantee-processing.html 

Via the function „Plan tour“ you can call up the 

feature 

„my circuit“.

You can now plan a circuit either from your 

current position or from any other point you 

want, such as a POI, a city or your home address.

As a next step, you can set your desired 

parameters. This may for example be the 

desired 

distance or you can also restrict the

duration of the circuit.

It is possible, for example, for you to enter 20 km, 

or correspondingly 3 hours.

In a next step, you are asked what 

activity you 

are performing. If you are out cycling and you 

want to do a circuit, click on „Bicycle“; if you are 

out walking, click on „Pedestrian“.

You can now select what 

your circuit should 

look like. For example, if you would prefer to plan 

a more sporty route, then click on „Hilly“; if you 

would prefer not to climb too many hills, then 

click on „Flat“.

Once you have done this, you can now stipulate 

what type of routes you would mainly like to 

travel on. For example, you can set it so that you 

will be guided primarily along cycle paths.

Your device is equipped with an interactive travel guide. This allows you to explore a 

large number of

 places of interest. Depending on the destination, lots of interesting 

information may be available.

Tap on the main menu on Extras > „Travel Guide“.

You must first stipulate a search centre around which POIs are to be searched for. This 

may for example be your 

current location or a city.

The POIs are divided up into categories. Select one of the 

categories or tap on „All 

categories“ to select from a list containing all categories. If under „All categories“ you 

tap on „All“ at the top, all categories are selected.

Once you have selected the category, the POIs are displayed in a list. They are sorted 

according to their 

distance from your search centre.

If you tap twice on a POI in the list, you will see the 

detailed view for this POI with all 

of the available information.

Click on the „OK tick“ to start the route 

calculation to the selected POI.

Tip: Via the 

„Sort“ button in the list with POIs  

you can have the POIs sorted according to 

different criteria. You can use the „ABC“  

button at the bottom to enter text to search  

for POIs containing this text.

FMI geocaching is a 

modern form of treasure hunting via geocoordinates.

Objects are hidden and the coordinates of the hiding place are published on the 

internet. These geocaches can then be searched for by other people.

The size of the cached objects and the degree of difficulty of finding them vary.

Your device is equipped with comprehensive functionality for 

paperless geo-

caching. To transfer geocaches to your device, register on a geocaching site on the 

internet (e.g. www.geocaching.com).

You can then save geocaches on your PC and transfer them to your device via the 

Falk navi-Manager software. You can obtain the Falk Navi-Manager as a free 

download at:  

http://www.falk-outdoor.com/en/service-en/falk-navi-manager.html

You can find further information about geocaching and operation in the  

detailed user manual which is available for you to download at  

http://www.falk-outdoor.com/en/service-en/manuals.html 

note: For geocaching, it is essential that under „Settings > Map display“ you should 

disable the function

 „Position on street“ so 

that you can reach the precise location of the 

geocache on all terrain. For cycling or hiking, 

make sure you reactivate the function „Position 

on street“.

Before using the geocaching function, you must 

transfer geocaches to your device 

(e.g. from the internet portal Geocaching.com). Tap in the main menu on „Geocaching“ 

and select „Search for geocache“.

You must first stipulate a 

search centre around which geocaches are to be searched 

for. This may for example be your current location or a POI.

If you have transferred geocaches around your current search point to the device, they 

are displayed in a list sorted according 

to distance.

Briefly tap twice on the geocache you want to call 

up the 

detailed view. There you will be shown 

information about the cache and its description. 

You can have the geocache or the waypoints 

displayed on the map or under

„options“ 

add  waypoints or comments or display the 

instructions. Start the cache by clicking on the 

„OK tick“.

Once you arrive at the cache, here you are shown 

an action button via which you can perform 

further actions (e.g. logging).

You can find 

further information about geocaching 

and operation in the detailed user manual which is 

available for you to download at  

http://www.falk-outdoor.com/en/service-en.html

The Track Manager shows 

all of the tracks which exist on the device. 

You can also 

record your own tracks so that you can retrace a route you have 

travelled at a later date. 

To do this, tap in the main menu on „Track manager“.

starts the recording

interrupts the recording

Pressing again on:

continues the recording

ends the recording and  

saves the track.

You will then find the recorded tracks in the list in the 

Track Manager. To view a track, tap twice on  

the corresponding track.

note: Setting the preferred transport routes means that correspondingly selected 

transport routes will be given 

priority in the route calculation. For example, if „Avoid 

road traffic“ is selected, the device will mainly calculate a route which tends not to run 

along roads. It is of course not possible to prevent this entirely because sometimes the 

use of roads is unavoidable to continue the route of a tour.

You are now ready to set off - your circuit is calculated and is shown to you on the 

screen. If you click on the „Altitude profile“ button, you can now display the altitude 

model for your tour. If your

 favourite route is not yet shown, you have the option of 

clicking on the „Alternative routes“ button to calculate two further routes.
