Warning Messages

For safe use please observe the following !!!

■ READ

THIS MANUAL FIRST.

Read this manual carefully before operating the Kenwood Car Navigation System and follow the manual's instructions. Kenwood is not liable for problems or accidents resulting from failure to observe the instructions in this manual.

■ OBSERVE LOCAL TRAFFIC SIGNS AND REGULATIONS.

Always observe the local traffic signs and regulations while driving and check them against the system's instructions.

Due to frequent changes in local signs and regulations, the traffic sign and regulation data on the Map DVD-ROM may be outdated. Furthermore the Map DVD-ROM cannot reckon with certain conditions such as traffic density at certain times of the day, (temporary) road closures due to construction work, weather conditions or special events taking place. Furthermore, some of the roads (usually minor roads) in the map do not include the data on traffic control and restrictions.

Therefore always obey the local traffic signs and regulations, if they conflict with the system's instructions. Failure to do so may place you in illegal, unsafe or dangerous situations.

■ DRIVE SAFELY.

Before following the system's guidance instructions, such as changes in direction, always check first whether it is safe to do so given the current traffic conditions.

Then follow the

given instructions, but make sure you do so in a safe manner.

■ VOLUME LEVEL.

keep the system's 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.

■ FOREIGN OBJECTS.

To prevent accidents, keep fingers and foreign object out of the disc-loading slot. If a foreign object is inserted inside the unit, or if it emits smoke or a noxious odor, stop operation immediately and contact the closest Kenwood dealer.

■ STOP OPERATION IN THE EVENT OF PROBLEMS.

In event of problems such as a lack of sound or video, stop operation and push the reset button. Should the problems persist, stop operation of the system and contact the closest Kenwood dealer.

■ NEVER DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Never try to disassemble or alter the unit. Any attempt to do so will void the warranty and may cause accidents, fire or electric shock.

■ REPLACING FUSES.

When replacing fuses always use the same tape and rated ampere. Failure to do so may cause fire.

■ SMALL ARTICLES.

Keep small articles (like screws or batteries) out of the reach of children. If any such object is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

Before Use

■ Start the car engine before use

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

■ Corrects display of current position

The fist time the navigation system is turned on after it is installed (or if the vehicle’s battery has been disconnected for an extended time) it will not read the vehicle’s current location correctly. Once it receives GPS signals, the system will display the vehicle’s correct location.

■ Reading programs after the battery has been tur

ned off

The navigation programs will be deleted if the battery is removed for repairs, etc. If this happens, in sect the map disc provided into the mobile navigation system and switch on the engine. The mobile navigation system will automatically load the programmes and start operating normally again.

■ When driving on rough roads

The mobile navigation system might not operate properly or be able to read map data from the disc if there is severe vibration caused by driving on rough roads.

■ Handling the GPS antenna

• Do not paint the antenna. This will impair or disable signal reception.

• Remove any object or accumulated snow, etc., from the top of the antenna. It will

reduce reception strength.

• Do not pull the cord when removing the antenna or adjusting its position. This can cause a short or snap the wires.

■ Operating while driving

The GPS voice navigation system displays the controls disabled during driving in fainter colors. These controls stop functioning and no message is displayed.

■ Precautions for handling precision machines

Be careful of the surrounding temperature. Using the mobile navigation system at extremely high or low temperatures can lead to malfunction or damage. Also note that the unit can be damaged by strong vibration or by foreign objects or water getting inside.

■ Condensation

Condensation can form on the lens inside the main unit just after the car heater is switched on in cold weather, for example, leading to malfunction. The main unit will start working normally again if it is just left alone for about one hour for this condensation to go away. If normal operation is not restored after several hours, return the main unit to the store where you purchased it.

■ Map disc

Always replace the map disc with another compatible map disc. Never insert an incompatible disc. It can damage the main unit.

• You should handle discs carefully, as excessive warping or scratches on the disc surface or label can lead to reading errors.

ENGLISH

Precautions when Handling Map Discs

• Store discs away from direct sunlight. The disc might warp and become unusable.

• Lightly wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a straight line from the center of the disc towards the outer edge.

• If you touch the data surface of a disc (the surface without a label printed on it) it might get dirty and lead to a malfunction. Always hold a disc either by its centre hole and an edge or by two edges.

• Never clean discs with benzene, thinners, record spray, anti-static spray or chemical swabs.

• Do not write on, or stick paper or seals onto, the surface of a disc.

• Map discs rotate at high speed inside the main unit. Do not use a cracked or badly warped disc, therefore, because it might damage the main unit.

Set Route

Route Searching

Setting your route. Follow the example below.

CAUTION!

The mobile navigation system provides maps and voice guidance for your reference when driving. In unusual situations, however, this guidance might be inappropriate. When driving along the route provided, always comply with local traffic regulations (one-way streets, etc.).

NOTE :

• The route shown by the navigation system is a reference route as far as the destination area. It might not be the shortest route.

• If the street on the map disc does not agree with the actual street, the voice guidance might be wrong.

• At a complicated junction, it might be difficult to understand where to turn from only the voice guidance. In this case stop the vehicle and check the Map screen.

• If a destination or way points are not contained in the map disc, the route provided might not pass that destination or way points.

• The mobile navigation system might not be able to provide directions due to the distance from the destination area or a lack of road data.

• If the current position cannot be determined properly, voice guidance and enlarged junction diagrams will be disabled or might be incorrect.
