2. PRECAUTIONS

English

WARNING

• For your safety, the driver should not watch any video sources and/or operate the controls while driving. Please note that watching and operating any video sources while driving are prohibited by law in some countries. Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.

• When using the navigation system, follow the precautions listed below. After reading this manual, be sure to keep it in a handy place (such as the glove box of your car).

• This navigation system should not be used to replace your own judgment. No itinerary suggested by this navigation system should ever override any highway regulations, your own judgment, or a knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow the navigation system’s suggested itinerary if it would cause you to perform a dangerous or illegal act, place you in a dangerous situation, or take you into an area you consider unsafe.

• The advice provided by the navigation system is to be regarded as a suggestion only. There may be times when the navigation system displays the vehicle’s location incorrectly, fails to suggest the shortest route, or fails to direct you to your desired destination. In such instances, rely on your own driving judgment, taking into account the driving conditions at the time.

• Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services. The database does not contain a complete listing of emergency services such as police stations, ﬁre halls, hospitals and walk-in clinics. Please show discretion and ask for directions in such instances.

• As the driver, you alone are responsible for your driving safety.

• In order to avoid a trafﬁc accident, do not operate the system while driving.

• In order to avoid a trafﬁc accident, operate the system only when the vehicle is stopped at a safe place and the parking brake is on.

• In order to avoid a trafﬁc accident or trafﬁc offense, remember that actual road conditions and trafﬁc regulations take precedence over the information contained on the navigation system.

• The software may contain inaccurate or incomplete information due to the passage of time, changing circumstances, and the sources of information used. Please respect current trafﬁc conditions and regulations at all times while driving.

• Where actual road conditions and highway regulations differ from the information contained on the navigation system, abide by the highway regulations.

• Keep the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving to a strict minimum.

• The navigation system does not provide, nor represent in any way information on: trafﬁc and highway regulations; technical aspects of the vehicle including weight, height, width, load and speed limits; road conditions including grade, percentage of incline and surface conditions; obstacles such as the height and width of bridges and tunnels; and other current driving or road conditions. Always rely on your own judgment when driving a car, taking into account current driving conditions.

• Do not disassemble or modify this unit. It may cause an accident, ﬁre, or electric shock.

• Do not use this unit when a trouble exists, such as no screen content appears or no sound is audible. It may cause an accident, ﬁre, or electric shock. For that case, consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center.

• In case of a problem, such as foreign materials have entered in the unit, the unit gets wet, or smoke or strange smells come out of the unit, etc., stop using this unit immediately, and consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center. Using it in that condition may cause an accident, ﬁre, or electric shock.

• Use a fuse with the same speciﬁcation only when replacing the fuse. Using a fuse with a different speciﬁcation may causes a ﬁre.

• For the installation of this unit or a change in the installation, ask your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center for safety. Professional skills and experiences are required to do so.

• Small black and shiny spots inside the liquid crystal panel are normal for LCD products.

Navigation System

• To prevent discharge of the car battery, use

this system with the engine of the vehicle running as much as possible.

• The housing of this unit may become hot

because this unit has a high-speed CPU. Be careful to handle the unit during navigating or immediately after turning the power off.

• Turn off the power of the vehicle when

connecting or disconnecting wires. Doing this while the power of the vehicle is turned on, may cause a trouble or malfunction.

Note:

•

When using this unit ﬁrst time after purchasing, or not used for long periods of time, it might take about 5 to 15 minutes until the current location is determined using GPS. Moreover, even when using it often, it may take about 2 to 3 minutes until the current location is determined according to the GPS measuring situation.

•

When the route (path) cannot be calculated, move desired destination to a nearby main road and perform calculation again. It may

be impossible to ﬁnd a route in case the car location is too close to the desired destination.

•

For vehicles equipped with an intelligent key, do not bring the intelligent key close to the unit of the navigation system. The navigation system may not operate correctly.

•
