Precautions

#WARNINGS

ÑÑTo prevent injury or fire, take the following precautions:

•To prevent a short circuit, never put or leave any metallic objects (such as coins or metallic 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.

ÑÑPrecautions 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 a language to display menus, audio file tags, etc. See User Interface Setup (P.90).

•The Radio Data System or Radio Broadcast Data System feature won’t work in areas where the service is not supported by any broadcasting station.

ÑÑProtecting the monitor

•To protect the monitor from damage, do not operate the monitor using a ball point pen or similar tool with a sharp tip.

ÑÑLens fogging

When you turn on the car heater in cold weather, dew may form on the lens in the disc player of the unit due to condensation. This condensation on the lens (also called lens fogging) may not allow discs to play. In such a

situation, remove the disc and wait for the dew to evaporate. If the unit still does not operate normally after a while, consult your KENWOOD dealer.

ÑÑPrecautions on handling discs

•Do not touch the recording surface 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 the disc from the center toward the outside rim.

•When removing a disc from this unit, pull it 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 surface or discs that are dirty cannot be used.

•This unit can only play the following types of CDs.

ÑÑCleaning the unit

•If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth. If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe it with a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then wipe it again with a clean soft dry cloth.

NOTE

•Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit may damage its mechanical parts. Wiping the faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile

liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the surface or erase the screened print.

•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's instruction manual.)

ÑÑAcquiring 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.

ÑÑAbout GLONASS

This unit uses Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) in addition to GPS.

Combining GPS and GLONASS can refine positioning accuracy than using GPS only.

ÑÑCaution for Smartphone Users

Simultaneously running multiple applications on your smartphone while screen sharing places heavy demand on the microprocessor of the phone, potentially affecting communication and performance.

For best results while pairing with your Kenwood receiver, please be sure to close any unused applications.

Before Use

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 correct 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.

English 7

Before Use

#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 safety 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 subject to changes that could affect the accuracy 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.

ÑÑIMPORTANT INFORMATION

Vehicle Battery Preservation

This navigation system can be used when the ignition key is turned to ON or ACC. To preserve the battery, 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.

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.

How to read this manual

•The screens and panels shown in this manual are examples used to provide a clear explanation of operations.

For this reason, they may be different from the actual screens or panels, or some display patterns may be different from the actual ones.

•Display language: English is used for the purpose of explanation. You can select a display language from the [SETUP] menu. See User Interface Setup (P.90).
