Safety Information and Precautions
WARNING! PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW THE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS BELOW.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW MAY INCREASE YOUR RISK OF
COLLISION AND PERSONAL INJURY.
The Please Drive Safely screen is displayed each time the navigation system is turned on
as a reminder to make use of the system’s navigational aids in a safe manner.
Before using the system, read this entire Quick Start Guide. Make sure that you are
familiar with the system’s features and know how to operate the system. Proper use of
the navigation system includes the following guidelines:
The navigation system is not a substitute for your personal judgment. The route
suggestions should never supersede any local traffic regulation or your personal
judgment and /or knowledge of safe driving practices. Prior to completing any maneuvers
suggested by your navigation system (for example, a U-turn or a left turn), verify that
you can legally and safely complete the maneuver. Do not follow route suggestions if
they direct you to perform an unsafe or illegal maneuver, would place you in an unsafe
situation, or would route you into an area that you consider unsafe.
Glance at the screen only when necessary and safe to do so. Let the computer voice guide
you. If prolonged viewing is necessary, pull off the road to a safe location.
Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services (such as police, fire
stations, hospitals, and clinics). The database may not include all emergency service
providers. Use your own best judgment and ask for directions in these situations.
If the vehicle is in motion, only a passenger should program the navigation system.
The driver should not program the system unless the vehicle is parked in a safe location.
The navigation system’s map database provides information on suggested routes without
regard to factors that may affect your driving experience or the time required to arrive
at your destination. For example, the system does not reflect road detours, closures or
construction, some road characteristics (e.g., road surface, slope or grade, weight or
height restrictions, etc.), temporary traffic congestion, weather conditions, and similar
factors.

Introduction to Your Navigation System
As you travel, your navigation system functions as your copilot, providing turn-by-turn
visual and voice guidance to direct you to your selected destination. Because the system
knows where you are and where you want to go, it can quickly calculate step-by-step
directions that provide a route to any destination available on the included navigation
map. The map includes millions of roadway and mapping destinations, and
pre-programmed point of interest (POI) locations in over 50 categories. Simply enter your
desired destination into your navigation system, and its advanced intelligence does the
rest.
With your navigation system, if you deviate from the planned route, the system will
automatically recalculate the route to determine a new one from your current
location.
The navigation system uses Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites, and a digital
roadway map database to calculate and display travel directions. The system’s GPS
antenna receives signals from a constellation of 24 satellites orbiting the earth and uses
the strongest of signals, to determine your position to within meters. The navigation
system’s sophisticated software provides the highly accurate positioning necessary to
provide real-time, accurate, turn-by-turn route guidance.
Vehicle Position
The navigation system’s computer considers vehicle speed and heading changes,
together with longitude and latitude information, to accurately determine vehicle heading
and position on a digital map. This information is relayed to you as you proceed to your
selected destination through audible suggestions, turn symbols, and the on screen map.
Signals from GPS satellites are used to determine the vehicle location. Three (good) or
four (best) satellites must be received to accurately determine location. The GPS
reception status is indicated by the GPS icon on the map. See the map display section on
page 19 for more information.
Map and Information Database
The map database used by your navigation system was created using high-resolution
aerial and land based data collection and is stored on a hard disk drive. This data is
enhanced with useful travel information, such as freeway signage and over two million
points of interest locations in over 50 categories, such as tourist attractions, gas stations,
airports, and restaurants.
Car navigation maps are frequently updated. While the database was judged to be as
accurate as possible at the time of its release, a map database can never be 100%
accurate. Road information that is maintained in the map databases, such as turn
restrictions or road names may change over time. In addition, points of interests, such as
restaurants, hotels, and gas stations, also change over time. The complexity of
keeping this directory current means that some information may be missing or
out-of-date at times.

Preparation
Please read all instructions carefully before attempting to install or operate the XNAV9525.
Due to its technical nature, it is highly recommended that your DUAL XNAV9525 is
installed by a professional installer or an authorized dealer.
This product is only for use in vehicles with 12VDC negative ground only.
To prevent damage or injury:
• Make sure to ground the unit securely to the vehicle chassis ground.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Do not install the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or the
possibility of water splashing.
• Do not subject the unit to excessive shock.
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new one with the prescribed rating. Using a fuse
with the wrong rating may cause damage to the unit or cause it to malfunction.
• To prevent short circuits when replacing a fuse, disconnect the wiring harness first.
• Use only the provided hardware and interface cable.
• Do not program the navigation system while the vehicle is moving.
• If you experience problems during installation, consult your nearest Dual dealer.
• If the unit malfunctions, press the power button on the remote control to reset the unit
first. Refer to page 11 for details. If the problem still persists, consult your nearest Dual
dealer or call Dual tech assistance @ 1-866-429-1628.

Installation - Main Unit
Before You Start
• Disconnect negative battery terminal. Consult a qualified technician for instructions.
• Avoid installing the main unit where it would be subject to high temperatures, such as
from direct sunlight, or where it would be subject to dust, dirt or excessive vibration.
• Stand alone installations require an external video monitor, power, signal and speaker
wires (not included).
• Use extreme caution when drilling holes to avoid damaging fuel lines or existing vehicle
wiring.
Mounting Location
• Choose a mounting location for the main unit. Suggested locations include under a seat
or in the trunk.
• The unit can be mounted horizontal (recommended) or vertical. For optimum
performance, make sure to provide at least 1" of space to around all sides. Do not
mount the unit under carpets or where airflow is restricted.
• Do not install the unit where it may be exposed to moisture.
• The optimum mounting location varies between vehicles. Remember to test all
functions before completing the final mounting procedure.
Typical Mounting

XNAV9525 GPS NAVIGATION SYSTEM
Installation - Antenna
• Determine a suitable location for mounting the GPS antenna. For optimum reception,
the antenna should be mounted in the center of the vehicle roof with a minimum of 6”
from any window.
• The antenna can also be mounted to the rear trunk lid at least 4” from the rear window.
• Do not install the antenna in a location where it may obstruct the field of view to the
skyline such as on the front dashboard or rear deck tray.
• Clean the mounting location thoroughly before attaching the antenna. The antenna uses
a powerful magnet and requires no adhesive to apply. Do not slide the antenna during
positioning as damage to the painted surface can occur.
• Once the antenna is mounted, carefully plan the cable route to the XNAV9525. Be careful
not to pinch or twist the antenna cable. Use a grommet when running wires through
any metal openings.
Notes:
Do not install the GPS antenna inside the vehicle - as this will reduce reception
significantly. The antenna must be mounted on a metallic surface for best performance.
If a suitable metal surface is not available, the included metal pad may be used to mount
the antenna on.
GPS Signal
When the system is turned on for the first time (or if it has been idle for several days, or
been moved more than 250 miles while off), it can take several minutes to acquire a GPS
signal. GPS signal acquisition times will be typically less than a minute when the unit is
turned on again.
