Using Safety Cameras
Safety camera information is available in some locations. (Check www.honda-access.
com for availability.) For these locations, the Honda Compact Navigation System
includes the locations of hundreds of safety cameras. Your unit alerts you when you are
approaching a safety camera and can warn you if you are driving too fast. The data is
updated at least weekly, so you always have access to the most up-to-date information.
To get updated safety camera information:
1. Go to http://www.honda-access.com.
2. Sign up for a subscription.
You can purchase a new region or extend an existing subscription at any time. Each
region that you purchase has its own expiration date.
Custom POIs (Points of Interest)POIs (Points of Interest)
Your Honda Compact Navigation System accepts custom POI databases, available
from various companies on the Internet. Some custom POI databases contain alert
information for points such as school zones. Your unit can notify you with a proximity
alarm when you approach one of these points.
After downloading your POI database, use the Garmin POI Loader to install the POIs
into your Honda Compact Navigation System. The POI Loader is available at www.
honda-access.com. Select Updates and Downloads.
Using the POI Loader program, you can store the Custom POIs on your “nuvi” drive
or your SD card. You can also customize the proximity alert settings for each POI

About GPS Satellite Signals
Your Honda Compact Navigation System must acquire GPS (Global Positioning
System) satellite signals to operate. If you are indoors, near tall buildings or trees, or
in a parking garage, the unit might not acquire satellites. Go outside to an area free
from tall obstructions to use your Honda Compact Navigation System, or close the
antenna to turn off the GPS and use it indoors.

When the Honda Compact Navigation System acquires satellite signals, the signal
strength bars on the Menu page are green . When it loses satellite signals, the
bars turn red or disappear . Touch the signals strength bars in the upper-left
corner of the Menu page to view GPS information. Touch anywhere on the screen to
return to the Menu page.

Caring for Your Honda Compact Navigation System
Your Honda Compact Navigation System contains sensitive electronic components
that can be permanently damaged if exposed to excessive shock or vibration. To
minimize the risk of damage to your unit, avoid dropping it and operating it in high
shock/vibration environments.

Cleaning the Honda Compact Navigation System
The Honda Compact Navigation System is constructed of high quality materials and
does not require user maintenance other than cleaning. Clean the unit’s outer casing
(not the touch screen) using a cloth dampened with a mild detergent solution and then
wipe dry. Avoid chemical cleaners and solvents that can damage plastic components.
Cleaning the Touch Screen
Clean the touch screen with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth. Use water, isopropyl alcohol,
or eyeglass cleaner, if needed. Apply the liquid to the cloth and then gently wipe the
touch screen.
Protecting Your Honda Compact Navigation System
• Do not store the Honda Compact Navigation System where prolonged exposure
to extreme temperatures can occur (such as in the windshield), as permanent
damage may result.
• Do not expose the Honda Compact Navigation System to water. Contact with
water can cause the unit to malfunction.
• Though a PDA stylus can also be used to operate the touch screen, never
attempt this while operating a vehicle. Never use a hard or sharp object to
operate the touch screen, because it can damage the screen.
•
Keep the Honda Compact Navigation System in the carrying case when not in use.
Avoiding Theft
• To avoid theft, remove the unit from sight when not in use.
• Use the
Garmin Lock™ feature.

Battery Information
Your Honda Compact Navigation System contains an internal (non-removable)
lithium-ion battery. Contact your local waste disposal department for information on
properly disposing of the Honda Compact Navigation System.
Battery Tips
● Your Honda Compact Navigation System’s battery should last 4 to 8 hours,
depending on usage.
● To extend the battery life, reduce the time the backlight stays on. On the Menu
page, select Settings > Display > Backlight Timeout to change the setting.
● Close the antenna when you do not need to receive
GPS signals.
● Do not leave your Honda Compact Navigation System in direct sunlight, and
avoid prolonged exposure to excessive heat.
Battery Gauge
The battery icon in the upper-right corner of the Menu page indicates the status of the
internal battery. Periodically, you might notice that the battery gauge is not completely
accurate. To increase the accuracy of the battery gauge, fully discharge the battery and
then fully charge it without interrupting the charging. For best results, do not unplug
the Honda Compact Navigation System until it is totally charged.

Important Information
MAP DATA INFORMATION: One of the goals of
Honda is to provide customers with the most complete
and accurate cartography that is available to us at a
reasonable cost. We use a combination of governmental
and private data sources, which we identify in product
literature and copyright messages displayed to the
consumer. Virtually all data sources contain some
inaccurate or incomplete data. In some countries,
complete and accurate map information is either not
available or is prohibitively expensive.
FCC Compliance
This product has been tested and found to comply with
Part 15 of the FCC interference limits for Class B digital
devices FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE. These limits are
designed to provide more reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation, and are
more stringent than “outdoor” requirements.
Operation of this device is subject to the following
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and may cause harmful interference
to radio communications if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet that is on a
different circuit from the GPS unit.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Parts Replacement
This product does not contain any user-serviceable parts.
Repairs should only be made by an authorized Honda
dealer. Unauthorized repairs or modications could
result in permanent damage to the equipment, and void
your warranty and your authority to operate this device
under Part 15 regulations.
Honda Limited Warranty
