To use the Boom!TM Box infotainment system in the safest possible way follow all the warnings, cautions and safety tips shown throughout this manual.

Do not use any feature of this system to the extent it becomes a distraction and prevents safe riding. The first priority while riding should always be the safe operation of the vehicle. While riding, be sure to observe all traffic regulations.

Practice using the system and become thoroughly familiar with it. Read the entire manual to make sure you understand the functions. Do not allow other people to use this system until they have read and understood the instructions in this manual.

While riding, listen to the voice instructions as much as possible. Glance at the screen briefly and only when it is safe to do so.

Do not rely solely on voice guidance. Use it just for ref erence. The data in the system may occasionally be incomplete. Road conditions, including restrictions (no left

turns, street closures, etc.) frequently change. Therefor e, before following any instruction from the system, look to see whether the instruction can be done safely and legally.

This system cannot warn about such things as the safety of an area, road conditions and availability of emergency servic es.

Using handlebar controls to select objects While the vehicle i s i n motion it is recommended to avoid using the Touch Screen or the faceplate

buttons since this implies releasing one of the hands from the handlebar. While riding a safer method is to utilize the keys on the right handlebar controls to perform selections.

Refer to the right handlebar contr ol section of this manual for the keys location. The cursor movement keys (Up, Down, Left, Right) can be used to highlight a different object in the screen. The Enter/Select key can be used to select such object. Do this only when it is safe to do so.

The currently highlighted item will have a yellow box surrounding the object.
