This equipment complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio
frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This
equipment has very low levels of RF energy that it deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure evaluation (MPE).
But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’ s body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).

Cet équipement est conforme aux limites FCC/IC d’exposition aux rayonnements définies pour un environnement non
réglementé, aux lignes directrices de la FCC en matière d’exposition aux radiofréquences spécifiées dans le supplément C du

ENGLISH

bulletin OET65 et aux régulations RSS-102 de l’IC sur l’exposition aux radiofréquences (RF). Cet équipement étant associé à de très
faibles niveaux d’énergie radiofréquence, il est considéré conforme sans évaluation de l’exposition maximale admise (EMA). Il est
cependant conseillé de l’installer et de l’utiliser en maintenant la source de rayonnement radioélectrique à 20 cm minimum du
corps (à l’exclusion des extrémités du corps, à savoir les mains, les poignets, les pieds et les chevilles).

Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser)
gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e,i,r,p.) is not more than that necessary for
successful communication.

Selon les régulations d’Industrie Canada, cet émetteur radioélectrique peut uniquement fonctionner avec une antenne dont le
type et le gain maximum (ou inférieur) sont approuvés par Industrie Canada. Pour réduire les perturbations radioélectriques
potentielles pour les autres utilisateurs, le type et le gain de l’antenne doivent être choisis de façon que la puissance isotrope
rayonnée équivalente (P.I.R.E.) ne soit pas supérieure à la puissance nécessaire pour la réussite des communications.

This device complies with RSS-310 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the condition that this device does not cause
harmful interference.

Cet appareil est conforme au cahier des charges CNR-310 d’Industrie Canada. Son emploi est soumis à la condition que l’appareil
ne provoque pas de brouillage préjudiciable.

Safety instructions/information for the Navigation System

ENGLISH

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Use of the Navigation System is only permitted if the
traffic conditions are suitable and you are absolutely
sure that no risk, obstruction or inconvenience will be
incurred to you, your passengers or other road users.
The requirements of the Road Traffic Regulations must
always be followed. The destination must not be

entered while driving the car.

The Navigation System serves solely as an aid to
navigation. It never releases the drivers from their
duties to drive carefully and to make own judgement
in road traffic. Inaccurate or incorrect instructions
may happen to be given due to changing traffic
conditions. The actual road signs and traffic regulations
must therefore always be observed. In particular,
the Navigation System cannot be used as an aid to
orientation when visibility is poor.
This Navigation System must only be used for its
intended purpose. The volume of the car radio/
Navigation System must be adjusted so that external
noise is still audible.

Navigation guidance is performed, based on the
database, therefore, it may not be applicable to
the current situation because of changes in traffic
conditions (e.g. changes in tollroads, principal roads,
one-way traffic, or other traffic regulations). In this
case, observe the current traffic signs or regulations.

• Traffic signs should be observed carefully while
driving using the Navigation System. Navigation
System is only an aid. Driver must always decide
whether or not to heed the information provided.

JVC does not accept liability for erroneous data
provided by the Navigation System.

• Traffic guidance is restricted to passenger vehicles
only. Special driving recommendations and
regulations for other vehicles (e.g. commercial
vehicles) are not included.

• Do not operate the unit while driving.

Terms of licence

You are granted a non-exclusive licence to use the
database for your personal purposes. The present
licence does not authorise the granting of sublicenses.
Use of the data is only permitted in this specific JVC
system. It is forbidden to extract or make further use
of significant parts of the database content, or to
duplicate, modify, adapt, translate, analyse, decompile
or reverse-engineer any part thereof.

WARNING:

Map content, including names and appearance of
streets and bridges, POI (Point Of Interest) information,
etc. may be inaccurate. If the traffic rules displayed by
the unit are different from the actual traffic rules, obey
the actual traffic rules.
Road traffic regulations always take priority when a
vehicle is being driven in traffic. Navigation System is
only an aid. Errors may occur in individual data items/
entries. At all times, the driver must decide whether or
not to heed the information provided.
JVC does not accept liability for erroneous data provided
by the Navigation System.

Information/icons on the map

• The information on the map (such as street name, the
POI information, and speed limit) may not be always
displayed (for example, if the System does not have
the information of the position).

• Home ( ) and favorite point ( ) icons are
displayed after home/favorite points are registered.

• POI icons are displayed on the map depending on the
<POI Icon> setting (☞ page 19) and the map scale
is between 80 ft (25 m) and 500 ft (150 m).

• POI icons may not be displayed correctly when the
System displays the wide area of map. In this case,
