Warning Messages

For safe usage please observe the following !!!

READ THIS MANUAL FIRST

Read this manual carefully before starting to operate the Kenwood Car Navigation System and follow the manual's instructions. Kenwood are 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 when 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Due to frequent changes in local signs and regulations, the traffic sign and regulation data on the Map DVD-ROM may be outdated.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. Therefore

always obey the local traffic signs and regulations rather than 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 whilst 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

Keep fingers and foreign objects out of the disc-loading slot, so as not to cause accidents. In the event of there being foreign objects inside the unit, or smoke or noxious odours coming out, 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 occurring, stop operation and push the reset button. Should the problems persist, stop operation of the system and contact the closest Kenwood dealer. When upgrading the program, insert the version-up disc and press the reset button.

NEVER DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER

Never try to disassemble or alter the navigation equipment. Any attempt to do so may cause accidents, fire or electric shock.

REPLACING FUSES

When replacing fuses always use the same 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.

Information in this document is subject to change without notice.

The illustrations of the display and the panel appearing in this manual are examples used to explain more clearly how the controls are used. Therefore, what appears on the display in the illustrations may differ from what appears on the display on the actual equipment, and some of the illustrations on the display may represent something impossible in actual operation.

Before Use

Start the car engine before use

This mobile navigation system can be used when the ignition key is turned to ON or ACC. However, 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.

Time before current position is displayed

The mobile navigation system will not display the correct current position of the vehicle the first time it is used after purchase, or if the battery has been removed for a long time. GPS positioning signals will soon be received, however, and the correct position will be displayed.

Reading programmes after the battery has been turned off

The navigation programmes will be deleted if the battery is removed for repairs, etc. If this happens, set 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 whilst driving

The GPS voice navigation system displays the switches disabled during driving in fainter colors. These switches 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 metal 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 the mobile navigation system.

Map disc

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

Precautions when Handling Map Discs

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

• 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 centre 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.

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

• Never clean discs with benzene, thinners, record spray, antistatic spray or chemical swabs.

• 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.
