Precautions
#WARNING
Ñ To prevent injury or re, take the following
precautions:
• To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any
metallic objects (such as coins or metal tools)
inside the unit.
• Do not watch or fix your eyes on the unit’s
display when you are driving for any extended
period.
• If you experience problems during installation,
consult your Kenwood dealer.
Ñ Precautions on using this unit
• When you purchase optional accessories, check
with your Kenwood dealer to make sure that they
work with your model and in your area.
• You can select language to display menus, audio
file tags, etc. See Language setup (P.85) in
the Instruction Manual.
• The Radio Data System or Radio Broadcast Data
System feature won’t work where the service is
not suppor ted by any broadcasting station.
• The unit may not function properly if the
connectors between the unit and front panel
are dirty. Detach the front panel and clean the
connector with a cotton swab gently, being
careful not to damage the connector.
Ñ Precautions on battery
• Put the remote control in a place where it will
not move during braking or other operations. A
dangerous situation could result, if the remote
control falls down and gets wedged under the
pedals while driving.
• Do not leave the battery near fire or under direct
sunlight. A fire, explosion or excessive heat
generation may result.
• Do not recharge, short, break up or heat the
battery or place it in an open fire. Such actions
may cause the bat tery to leak fluid. If spilled fluid
comes in contact with your eyes or on clothing,
immediately rinse with water and consult a
physician.
• Place the bat tery out of reach of children. In the
unlikely event that a child swallows the batter y,
immediately consult a physician.
Ñ Protecting the monitor
• Put the remote control in a place where it will
not move during braking or other operations. A
dangerous situation could result, if the remote
control falls down and gets wedged under the
pedals while driving.
Ñ Protecting the monitor
Put the remote control in a place where it will
not move during braking or other operations. A
dangerous situation could result, if the remote
control falls down and gets wedged under the
pedals while driving.
Ñ Lens fogging
When you turn on the car heater in cold weather,
dew or condensation may form on the lens in the
disc player of the unit. Called lens fogging, this
condensation on the lens may not allow discs to
play. In such a situation, remove the disc and wait
for the condensation to evaporate. If the unit still
does not operate normally after a while, consult
your Kenwood dealer.
Ñ Precautions on handling discs
• Do not touch the recording sur face of the disc.
• Do not stick tape etc. on the disc, or use a disc
with tape stuck on it.
• Do not use disc type accessories.
• Clean from the center of the disc and move
outward.
• When removing discs from this unit, pull them
out horizontally.
• If the disc center hole or outside rim has burrs,
use the disc only after removing the burrs with a
ballpoint pen etc.
• Discs that are not round cannot be used.
• 8-cm (3 inch) discs cannot be used.
• Discs with coloring on the recording sur face or
discs that are dir ty cannot be used.
• This unit can only play the CDs with
.
This unit may not correctly play discs which do
not have the mark .
• You cannot play a disc that has not been
finalized. (For the finalization process see your
writing software, and your recorder instruction
manual.)

Ñ Acquiring GPS signal
The first time you turn on this unit, you must wait
while the system acquires satellite signals for the
first time. This process could take up to several
minutes. Make sure your vehicle is outdoors in an
open area away from tall buildings and trees for
fastest acquisition.
After the system acquires satellites for the first time,
it will acquire satellites quickly each time thereafter.
Ñ About the front panel
When removing the produc t from the box or
installing it, the front panel may be positioned
at the angle shown in (Fig. 1). This is due to the
characteristics of mechanism the product is
equipped with.
When the product is first powered on works
properly, the front panel will automatically move
into the position (initial set ting angle) shown in
(Fig. 2).

Safety Precautions and
Important Information
Read this information carefully before starting to
operate the Kenwood Car Navigation System and
follow the instructions in this manual. Neither
Kenwood nor Garmin shall be liable for problems
or accidents resulting from failure to observe the
instructions in this manual.
#WARNING
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous
situations could result in an accident or collision
resulting in death or serious injury.
When navigating, carefully compare information
displayed on the navigation system to all available
navigation sources, including information from
street signs, visual sightings, and maps. For safety,
always resolve any discrepancies or questions before
continuing navigation.
Always operate the vehicle in a safe manner.
Do not become distracted by the navigation system
while driving, and always be fully aware of all driving
conditions. Minimize the amount of time spent
viewing the screen of the navigation system while
driving, and use voice prompts when possible.
Do not enter destinations, change settings, or
access any functions requiring prolonged use of the
navigation system controls while driving. Stop your
vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting
such operations.
Keep the system volume at a low enough level to be
able to hear outside noises while driving. If you can
no longer hear outside noises, you may be unable
to react adequately to the traffic situation. This may
cause accidents.
The navigation system will not display the correct
current position of the vehicle the first time it is
used after purchase, or if the vehicle battery is
disconnected. GPS satellite signals will soon be
received, however, and the correc t position will be
displayed.
Be careful of the ambient temperature. Using the
navigation system at extreme temperatures can lead
to malfunction or damage. Also note that the unit can
be damaged by strong vibration, by metal objects, or
by water getting inside the unit.
#CAUTION
Failure to avoid the following potentially hazardous
situations may result in injury or property damage.
The navigation system is designed to provide you
with route suggestions. It does not reflect road
closures or road conditions, weather conditions, or
other factors that may affect safet y or timing while
driving.
Use the navigation system only as a navigational aid.
Do not attempt to use the navigation system for any
purpose requiring precise measurement of direction,
distance, location, or topography.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated
by the United States government, which is solely
responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. The
government system is subjec t to changes that
could affect the accurac y and performance of all
GPS equipment, including the navigation system.
Although the navigation system is a precision
navigation device, any navigation device can be
misused or misinterpreted and, therefore, become
unsafe.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Ñ Vehicle Battery Preservation
This navigation system can be used when the
ignition key is turned to ON or ACC. To preserve
the batter y, however, it should be used with the
engine running whenever possible. Using the
navigation system for a long time with the engine
switched off can cause the battery to run down.
Ñ Map Data Information
One of the goals of Garmin 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.
