PRECAUTIONS

IMPORTANT INFORMATION, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BE­FORE USING THIS PRODUCT.

This product is intended to safely provide turn by turn instruction 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 may 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 maneuver, 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, pull over 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 and/or remote control while you are driving. Pull
over in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting to access the
system.

✵

Do not use the navigation system to route you to emergency services. 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 (DVD-ROM) 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 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.

2

✵

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, pull over in a safe and legal manner and location before attempting
operation.

✵

Make certain that the volume level of the monitor is set to a level which still
allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency vehicles.

✵

Position the monitor so that glancing at the screen can be performed quickly
and easily by the driver. If any adjustments are necessary, pull over in a safe and
legal manner and location.

✵

The monitor used with this system should not be placed in a location which
hinders the driver’s view of any critical elements necessary to operate the vehicle
properly (i.e. the road, mirrors, instruments, vehicle’s surroundings). In addition,
the monitor should not be placed in a location which may obstruct the air bags
should they deploy.

✵

Remember to wear your seat belt at all times when the car is in motion. This
will help you avoid impact with anything in the car’s interior, including the system
itself.

✵

Be sure to reset the system before starting operation whenever the system is
reinstalled on another vehicle. The navigation system measures the distance with
the speedometer pulse. Since the speedometer pulses depend on the vehicle
manufacturer and the tire size, when you buy a new vehicle or replace your tires,
the speedometer pulses are compared with the distance measured with GPS
waves and the distance coefficient is automatically recalibrated.

✵

Do not use a portable telephone or transceiver near the system. Using them
may cause noise or operating error to the system, or prevent for the portable
telephone or transceiver from proper communications. Use them away from the
system.

✵

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 which you do not understand or are uncertain
about the operation of the navigation system, please contact your local Alpine
authorized navigation dealer or 1-888-NAV-HELP before using the navigation
system.

✵

Should the system become necessary for service or repair, make sure the DVD­ROM is removed from the main unit. Place the DVD-ROM in its case and ship it
along with the main unit.
