Operating Instructions

PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THIS PRODUCT.

This product is intended to safely provide turn-by-turn instructions to get you to a desired destination. Please read the following precautions to ensure that you use this navigation system correctly.

•This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions made by this navigation system should never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow route suggestions if the navigation system instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal manoeuvre, places you in an unsafe situation, or routes you into an area which you consider unsafe.

•Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is necessary, stop in a safe and legal manner and location.

•Do not input destinations, change settings, or access any functions requiring a prolonged view of the monitor while you are driving. Stop in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the system.

•When using the navigation system to find/route to an emergency service, please contact the facility to validate and verify availability, prior to driving to it. Not all locations of emergency service providers such as police and fire stations, hospitals, and clinics are contained in the database. Please use your own judgment and your ability to ask for directions in these situations.

•The map database contained within the media (SD memory card) in which it is stored is the most recent map data available at the time of production. Because of changes in streets and neighborhoods, there may be situations where the navigation system may not be able to route you to your desired destination. In these cases, use your own personal judgment.

•The map database is designed to provide you with route suggestions, it does not take account of the relative safety of a suggested route, or of factors which may affect the time required to reach your destination. The system does not reflect road closures or construction, road characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic congestion, weather conditions, or any other factors which may affect the safety or timing of your driving experience. Use your personal judgment if the navigation system is unable to provide you with an alternate route.

•There may be situations where the navigation system may display the vehicle’s location erroneously. Use your own driving judgment in this situation, taking into account current driving conditions. Please be aware that in this situation, the navigation system should correct the vehicle’s position automatically; however, there may be times where you may have to correct the position yourself. If this is the case, stop in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting operation.

•Make certain that the volume level of the unit is set to a level which still allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles. Driving while unable to hear outside sounds could cause an accident.

•Please make certain that any other person who intends on using this navigation system reads these precautions and the following instructions carefully.

If there is anything in the manual about the operation of the navigation system which you are uncertain about, please contact your local Alpine authorized navigation dealer before using the navigation system.

Points to Observe for Safe Usage

•Read this manual carefully before using this disc and the system components. They contain instructions on how to use this product in a safe and effective manner. Alpine cannot be responsible for problems resulting from failure to observe the instructions in this manual.

•This manual uses various pictorial displays to show you how to use this product safely and to alert you to potential dangers resulting from improper connections and operation. Following are the meanings of these pictorial displays. It is important to fully understand the meanings of these pictorial displays in order to use this manual and the system properly.

WARNING

•Operation of the system while driving is dangerous. Users should stop vehicle before operating the software.

•Road conditions and regulations take precedence over information contained on the map display: observe actual traffic restrictions and circumstances while driving.

•This software is designed for use exclusively in the INES900R. It cannot and may not be used in conjunction with other hardware.

WARNING

This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in serious injury or death.

DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.

Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing these functions.

Failure to do so may result in an accident.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.

MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.

Viewing the display may distract the driver from looking ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.

1-EN

DO NOT FOLLOW ROUTE SUGGESTIONS IF THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM INSTRUCTS YOU TO PERFORM AN UNSAFE OR ILLEGAL MANOEUVRE, OR PLACES YOU IN AN UNSAFE SITUATION OR AREA.

This product is not a substitute for your personal judgment. Any route suggestions by this system should never supersede any local traffic regulations or your personal judgment or knowledge of safe driving practice.

KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL HEAR OUTSIDE NOISES WHILE DRIVING.

Excessive volume levels that obscure sounds such as emergency vehicle sirens or road warning signals (train crossings, etc.) can be dangerous and may result in an accident. LISTENING AT LOUD VOLUME LEVELS IN A CAR MAY ALSO CAUSE HEARING DAMAGE.

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE GROUND.

(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to do so may result in fire, etc.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

USE THIS PRODUCT FOR MOBILE 12V APPLICATIONS.

Use for other than its designed application may result in fire, electric shock or other injury.

DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS IN INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.

Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to the product.

CAUTION

This symbol means important instructions. Failure to heed them can result in injury or material property damage.

HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.

Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Centre for repairing.

PRECAUTIONS

Product Cleaning

Use a soft dry cloth for periodic cleaning of the product. For more severe stains, please dampen the cloth with water only. Anything else has the chance of dissolving the paint or damaging the plastic.

Temperature

Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between +45°C (+113°F) and 0°C (+32°F) before turning your unit on.

Moisture Condensation

You may notice the disc playback sound wavering due to condensation. If this happens, remove the disc from the player and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.

Damaged Disc

Do not attempt to play cracked, warped, or damaged discs. Playing a bad disc could severely damage the playback mechanism.

Maintenance

If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the unit yourself. Return it to your Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Station for servicing.

New Discs

To prevent the CD from jamming, “Unable to read Disc.” is displayed if discs with irregular surfaces are inserted or if discs are inserted incorrectly. When a new disc is ejected immediately after initial loading, use your finger to feel around the inside of the centre hole and outside edge of the disc. If you feel any small bumps or irregularities, this could inhibit proper loading of the disc. To remove the bumps, rub the inside edge of the hole and outside edge of the disc with a ballpoint pen or other such instrument, then insert the disc again.

Installation Location

Make sure the INE-S900R will not be installed in a location subjected to:

•Direct sun and heat

•High humidity and water

•Excessive dust

•Excessive vibrations

Never Attempt the Following

Do not grip or pull out the disc while it is being pulled back into the player by the automatic reloading mechanism.

Do not attempt to insert a disc into the unit when the unit power is off.

Correct Handling

Do not drop the disc while handling. Hold the disc so you will not leave fingerprints on the surface. Do not affix tape, paper, or gummed labels to the disc. Do not write on the disc.

CORRECT

Inserting Discs

Your player accepts only one disc at a time for playback. Do not attempt to load more than one disc.

Make sure the label side is facing up when you insert the disc. “Unable to read Disc.” will be displayed on your player if you insert a disc incorrectly. If “Unable to read Disc.” continues to be displayed even though the disc has been inserted correctly, push the RESET switch with a pointed object such as a ballpoint pen. Playing a disc while driving on a very bumpy road may result in skips, but this will not scratch the disc or damage the player.

Irregular Shaped Discs

Be sure to use round shaped discs only for this unit and never use any special shaped discs.

Use of special shaped discs may cause damage to the mechanism.

INCORRECT

CORRECT

Disc Cleaning

Fingerprints, dust, or soil on the surface of the disc could cause the DVD player to skip. For routine cleaning, wipe the playing surface with a clean, soft cloth from the centre of the disc to the outer edge. If the surface is heavily soiled, dampen a clean, soft cloth in a solution of mild neutral detergent before cleaning the disc.

3-EN

Disc Accessories

There are various accessories available on the market for protecting the disc surface and improving sound quality. However, most of them will influence the thickness and/or diameter of the disc. Using such accessories can cause operational problems. We recommend not using these accessories on discs played in INE-S900R.

Transparent Sheet

Disc Stabilizer

•After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the image will remain temporarily. This is an effect peculiar to LCD technology and is normal.

•In cold temperature conditions, the screen may lose contrast temporarily. After a short warm-up period, it will return to normal.

Operation of some of the functions of this unit is very complex. Because of this, it was deemed necessary to place these functions into a special screen. This will restrict operation of these functions to times when the vehicle is parked. This ensures the focus of the driver’s attention will be on the road and not on the INE-S900R. This has been done for the safety of the driver and passengers. The car must be parked and the parking brake must be engaged for the procedure described in the Owner’s Manual to be valid. The warning “No operation while driving - for your safety” will be displayed if any attempts are made to perform these operations while driving.

•The INE-S900R draws minimal current even when its power switch is turned off. If the switched power (ignition) lead of the INE-S900R is connected directly to the positive (+) post of the vehicle’s battery, the battery may be discharged.

An SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) can be added to simplify this procedure. Then, you can simply place it in the OFF position when you leave the vehicle. Turn the SPST switch back ON before using the INE-S900R. For connecting the SPST switch, refer to the “Connection Diagram of SPST Switch (Sold Separately)” (page 139). If the power (ignition) lead is unswitched, it must be disconnected from the battery post should the vehicle be left unused for an extended period of time.

Using compact discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)

If you use unspecified compact discs, correct performance cannot be guaranteed.

You can play CD-Rs (CD-Recordables)/CD-RWs (CDReWritables) which have been recorded only on audio devices. You can also play CD-Rs/CD-RWs containing MP3/WMA/AAC formatted audio files.

•Some of the following discs may not play on this unit: Flawed discs, discs with fingerprints, discs exposed to extreme temperatures or sunlight (e.g., left in the car or this unit), discs

recorded under unstable conditions, discs on which a recording failed or a re-recording was attempted, copy-protected CDs which do not conform to the audio CD industry standard.

•Use discs with MP3/WMA/AAC files written in a format compliant with this unit. For details, see pages 63 and 64.

To customers using CD-R/CD-RW

•If a CD-R/CD-RW cannot be played back, make sure the last recording session was closed (finalised).

•Finalise the CD-R/CD-RW if necessary, and attempt playback again.

Tips for making your own CDs

The INE-S900R plays DVD Video, Audio CD, DivX® and has a built in MP3/WMA/AAC decoder.

The following information is designed to help you create your own music CDs (either Audio CD or MP3/WMA/AAC encoded CD-R/ RW files).

What is the difference between an Audio and MP3/WMA/AAC CD?

An Audio CD is the same format as the commercial CDs you buy in the store (also known as CD-DA). MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3)/WMA (Windows Media Audio)/AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) is a data file that uses a compression scheme to reduce the size of the music file*.

Multisession CD-R/CD-RW:

Once a recording has been stopped, this is considered one session. If the disc is not closed (finalised), additional data may be added. Once this additional data has been recorded, this becomes a “multisession” CD. Only the last session of a multisession DATA formatted disc can be played, depending on the writing software that is used to format the disc.

Properly formatted MP3/WMA/AAC Discs:

Use ISO9660 formatting to insure proper playback. You may use standard ISO naming Level 1 (8.3 DOS standard), Level 2 (32 characters) or Joliet (Windows long filenames) file naming conventions*.

*Please consult the Owner’s manual for additional information.

On handling compact discs (CD/CD-R/CD-RW)

•Do not touch the surface.

•Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight.

•Do not affix stickers or labels.

•Clean the disc when it is dusty.

•Make sure that the disc is smooth and flat.

•Do not use commercially available disc accessories.

Do not leave the disc in the car or the unit for a long time. Never expose the disc to direct sunlight.

Heat and humidity may damage the disc and you may not be able to play it again.

5-EN

Using DVD-Rs/DVD-RWs/DVD+Rs/DVD+RWs

•This unit is compatible with discs recorded in the standard DVD-Video formats.

•Note that discs not finalised (processed to enable to play on playback-only DVD players) cannot be played on this DVD player.

•Some discs may not play back, depending on the recording device and disc format.

•Discs or files utilizing copy protection, may not be playable. Some recording systems may not properly format copied files to enable proper playback.

•In the following cases, the disc may not play on this unit:

Getting Started

Preface

Navigation systems

This navigation system uses three different sensing devices to determine the present location and to track the progress of the vehicle. These three devices are: a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver which receives digital signals from GPS satellites to determine the current position of the vehicle, a gyroscope which determines which direction the vehicle turns, and a speedometer pulse sensor which determine how far the vehicle has travelled. Because this system incorporates a gyroscope and a speed sensor, the system will be able to display the vehicle’s position and track the vehicle’s progress even in areas where the GPS signal may be blocked.

All map data is contained on a removable SD memory card. This system integrates this unique map database with the sensing devices to automatically plot out a route when a destination is entered. While driving, the navigation system guides you along the route with pictorial displays and verbal prompts.

•Altitude display accuracy can vary widely since the system uses only GPS signals for determining altitude approximations. Unlike altitude measurement, map matching accuracy is much more precise due to calculation methods that utilize three inputs: 1) GPS signals, 2) vehicle speed signals, and 3) the system’s built-in electronic gyro signals.

GPS (Global Positioning System)

This system receives signals from 3 or more GPS satellites (operated by the United States Department of Defense) orbiting at an altitude of 21,000 kilometers and measures the present car position using the same principles as triangulation. If the system receives signals from more than three GPS satellites, positioning becomes possible.

The GPS positioning system uses both three dimensional and two dimensional positioning.

Three dimension positioning

If GPS satellite reception is good, the positioning can be performed in three dimensions: latitude/longitude/altitude.

Two dimension positioning

When GPS satellite reception is less than optimal positioning is performed in two dimensions: latitude/longitude. In the latter case, since altitude cannot be determined, minor positioning discrepancies can occur three dimension positioning.

There may be a delay before the actual vehicle’s position is displayed

Determination of the present vehicle’s position starts when the ignition key is turned to the ACC or ON position, and ends when the key is turned OFF. When the key is first turned to the ACC or ON position delay of approximately one to two minutes is typical before the present vehicle’s position can be displayed.

The error from the actual position of the vehicle

When GPS signals can be received from 4 or more satellites, 3 dimensional positioning (altitude, latitude, and longitude) of the vehicle can be determined. In this case, error is in the range of 30 to 200 meters. When GPS signals can only be received from 3 satellites, only two dimensional positioning (latitude and longitude) can be determined, resulting in a slight increase in error. When GPS signals can only be received from less than three satellites, positioning of the vehicle through GPS is not possible. In addition to the inherent GPS error margin, the error rate may also increase if the United States Department of Defense deliberately changes its accuracy.

Locations where GPS signals are received easily

The optimum locations for receiving GPS signals are locations that command a good view where there are no tall buildings, trees, or other objects to obstruct the signals.

Gyroscope/ Speed sensor

The gyroscope is a sensor that accurately measures the angle by which the direction of a vehicle or other moving body changes.

Gyroscopes are used in inertial navigation systems for airliners and ships. In this navigation system, the gyroscope is used together with the speed sensor, making it possible to display the position of the vehicle even in locations where GPS signals may be blocked.

About car positional accuracy on initial use

Accurate Gyroscope/Speed sensor performance is not possible first without accumulating driving some data.

The car position may not be correctly displayed after initial installation of the system without inputting information about any previous changes (exchanging the tire, etc.).

The error margin between sensor information and GPS data (as calculated from the vehicle position) is continuously analyzed/revised, resulting in a gradual increase in system accuracy.

A measurement is constant even if GPS signals cannot be received avoiding the “filling of the gap” that occurs in running only the Gyro sensor.

Navigation Terminology

Navigation

The navigation system displays and tracks the vehicle’s position and movement on a moving map display. When a destination is input, the navigation system quickly calculates a route and guides you along the route with pictorial displays and voice prompts.

Present Vehicle Position

The present vehicle position is indicated by an arrowhead within a circle

Present vehicle position

Map matching

Since GPS navigation has an error window of about 30 m - 200 m, the position of your vehicle may be calculated in such a way that it is displayed incorrectly off the road. Map matching automatically corrects this error so that the position is displayed on the road.

Destination

The point on the map that is your destination is specified and displayed with the destination icon.

You can set up a destination and 4 waypoints for the same journey.

Route

When a destination is input, the navigation system automatically calculates a route and displays it in blue on the map

Route (Blue)

Destination icon

Address book

Locations you go to frequently can be stored into address book and marked on the map. The system can store up to 200 points. You can add icons at the marking locations so that the system also displays the icons on the map.

Mark

Motorway-preference selection

When searching for routes with the navigation system, you can switch between searching for routes that give priority to motorways and those that give priority to ordinary roads. When you specify motorway preference, the navigation system automatically searches for a route that gives priority to motorways and guides you along that route.

14-EN

Features

Large Touch-screen Monitor

This device is equipped with touch screen. Just touch the screen to operate this unit. You can also operate it using the remote control (sold separately).

18 Languages Selectable

You can choose one of the 18 languages for using this unit.

Automatic Route Calculation

Just select the destination and your navigation system does the rest, automatically searching for the route you need.

Real Time Voice Guide

A voice guide informs you of the distance and direction until your course changes, giving advice timed to match road conditions. <NAV> button lets you repeat the last voice guide when needed by just pushing the button.

The voice guidance may not be given if the vehicle’s present position is too near the destination.

Map Zooming

You can change the map display in 12 magnification scales.

3-Dimensional Map Display

A bird's eye view, 3-dimensional map can also be displayed.

Multiple-Destination Setting

You can set up to a destination and 4 waypoints in any order you like for the same journey.

Intersection Zoom (Auto Zoom Map)

As you near intersections and cross points, the map display automatically zooms in to show a more detailed view that you will need. This means there is no need to press the zoom buttons.

Direct Input of Name of Place of Interest

Input only the name of a place of interest (without inputting the city name) to search for the route to the place of interest.

Safety Camera Warning

This feature allows you to receive a warning when approaching a Road Safety Camera. You must ensure on your own liability that using this feature is legal in the country where you intend to use.

Dynamic Route Guidance Function

While following the route you have set, this function continuously searches for alternative routes to optimize travel time. The dynamic route guidance is performed based on TMC restriction events (accident, traffic congestion, etc.).

A message will be displayed to inform you that a route search to avoid a restriction district for a particular day, week, time and the detour point is made automatically.

Detour of Congestion Area

Areas in London, for example, where a congestion tax has been introduced, are shown in a different colour (scale less than 2 km). You can also search for a detour around a congested area.

Built-in Gyroscope and Speed Sensors

The gyroscope for sensing direction and the speed pulse sensor for detecting distance provide data which allows the vehicle position and direction to be displayed even in locations where the GPS signals cannot be received, such as between high buildings or in tunnels.

Built-in RDS-TMC Receiver

Real time traffic information from the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) will be automatically received. In the event of a traffic jam or traffic restriction, etc., you will be informed by voice and visual guidance. TMC traffic information is already broadcast in Austria, Andorra, Belgium, Switzerland, Czech, Germany, Denmark, Spain, France, Liechtenstein, Great Britain, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Norway, Netherlands, San Marino and Vatican City.

•RDS-TMC information may not be received depending on FM radio reception and TMC service conditions.

About Congestion Areas

Areas in London, for example, where a congestion tax has been introduced, display streets in a different colour on the map (scale 2 km/1 mile or less). You can also search for a detour of a congested area.

•To automatically find a congestion area detour during a search, set “Congestion charge zone” to Off in the road preference setting. For details, see page 39.

If “Congestion charge zone” is set to Off

If the destination is set in a congestion area and a route is searched, a confirmation message is shown.

If “Congestion charge zone” is set to On

Even if the destination is set in a congestion area, the route is searched as usual.

•When the current vehicle position is in a congestion area, a route is searched, regardless of the congestion area setting.

•If “Congestion charge zone” is set to Off after the destination has been set for a congested area, an alternate route through the congested area will be searched. If you want to avoid the congested area, do another search, setting the destination outside the congested area.

Caution

If “Congestion charge zone” is set to Off, in searching for a route through a congested area, decide your own detour route.

About Dynamic Route Guidance

The DRG (dynamic route guidance) updates traffic changes from moment to moment, providing you with a more accurate anticipated arrival time.

The dynamic route guidance is performed based on TMC restriction event (accident, traffic congestion, etc.). When an optimal route is found, the message is shown in the display and automatically changes the route (when the DRG is set to Auto). For details, refer to page 103.

If the Dynamic route guidance is set to Manual

If an optimal route is found using the dynamic route guidance function, the DRG screen appears. You can select a Detour route or the Current route.
