PRECAUTIONS AND NOTICES
■ Important Information
This product is intended to provide turn by turn
instructions to get you to a desired destination. Please
make certain that all persons using this navigation
system carefully read these precautions and the
following instructions fully.
1) This product is not a substitute for your personal
judgment. Any route suggestions made by this
navigation system may never supersede any local
traffic regulations or your personal judgment
and/or knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not
follow route suggestions if the navigation system
instructs you to perform an unsafe or illegal
maneuver, places you in an unsafe situation, or
routes you into an area which you consider
unsafe.
2) Glance at the screen only when necessary and
safe to do so. If prolonged viewing of the screen is
necessary, pull over in a safe and legal manner
and location.
3) Do not input destinations, change settings, or
access any functions requiring a prolonged view
of the monitor and/or remote control while you are
driving. Pull over in a safe and legal manner and
location before attempting to access the system.
4) Do not use the navigation system to route you to
emergency services. Not all locations of
emergency services such as police and fire
stations, hospitals and clinics are contained in the
database. Please use your own judgment and ask
for directions in these situations.
5) The map database used in the navigation system
is the most recent map data available at the time
of production. Because of changes in streets and
neighborhoods, there may be situations where the
navigation system is not able to route you to your
desired destination. In these cases, use your own
judgment.
6) The map database is designed to provide you with
route suggestions and does not take into account
the relative safety of a suggested route or of
factors which may affect the time required to
reach your destination. The system does not
reflect road closures or construction, road
characteristics (i.e. type of road surface, slope or
grade, weight or height restrictions, etc.), traffic
congestion, weather conditions, or any other
factors which may affect the safety or timing of
your driving experience. Use your own personal
judgment if the navigation system is unable to
provide you with an alternate route.
7) There may be situations where the navigation
system displays the vehicle's location erroneously.
Use your own driving judgment in this situation,
taking into account current driving conditions.
Please be aware that in this situation the
navigation system should correct the vehicle's
position automatically. However, there may be
times where you may have to correct the position
yourself. If this is the case, pull over in a safe and
legal manner and location before attempting
operation.
8) Make certain that the volume level of the
navigation system is set to a level which still
allows you to hear outside traffic and emergency
vehicles.
If there is anything in the manual about the operation
of the navigation system which you are uncertain
about, please contact your local Alpine authorized
navigation dealer or Alpine at 1-888-NAV-HELP (1888-628-4357) before using the navigation system.
Blackbird has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide more reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation, and are more
stringent than "outdoor" requirements.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one of the following measures:
·Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
·Increase the separation between the equipment and
the receiver.
·Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
·Consult an experienced radio/TV technician.
Please Read Carefully Before Using This Product.

WARNINGS
Read this manual carefully before using this system.
It contains instructions on how to use this product in
a safe and effective manner. Alpine cannot be
responsible for problems resulting from failure to
observe the instructions in this manual.
This manual uses various pictorial displays to show
you how to use this product safely and to alert you to
potential dangers resulting from improper
connections and operation. Following are
explanations of these pictorial displays. It is
important to fully understand the meanings of these
pictorial displays in order to use this manual and the
system properly.
DO NOT OPERATE ANY FUNCTION THAT TAKES YOUR
ATTENTION AWAY FROM SAFELY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE.
Any function that requires your prolonged attention
should only be performed after coming to a complete
stop. Always stop the vehicle in a safe location
before performing these functions. Failure to do so
may result in an accident.
KEEP THE VOLUME AT A LEVEL WHERE YOU CAN STILL
HEAR OUTSIDE NOISE WHILE DRIVING.
Failure to do so may result in an accident.
MINIMIZE DISPLAY VIEWING WHILE DRIVING.
Viewing the display may distract the driver from
looking ahead of the vehicle and cause an accident.
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric
shock.
USE THIS PRODUCT AS SPECIFIED.
Use for other than its designed application may result
in fire, electric shock or other injury.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BATTERIES OUT OF THE
REACH OF CHILDREN.
Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If
swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
DO NOT PLACE HANDS, FINGERS OR FOREIGN OBJECTS
IN INSERTION SLOTS OR GAPS.
Doing so may result in personal injury or damage to
the product.
USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING
FUSES.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.
Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may
result in fire.
HALT USE IMMEDIATELY IF A PROBLEM APPEARS.
Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage
to the product. Return it to your authorized ALPINE
dealer or the nearest ALPINE Service Center for
repairing.
PRECAUTIONS
Temperature
Be sure the temperature inside the vehicle is between
+45°C (+113°F) and -0°C (+32°F) before turning your
unit on.
Fuse Replacement
When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be
of the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder.
If the fuse(s) blows more than once, carefully check
all electrical connections for shorted circuitry. Also
have your vehicle’s voltage regulator checked.
Servicing the Unit
If you have problems, do not attempt to repair the
unit yourself. Return it to your ALPINE dealer or the
nearest ALPINE Service Station for servicing.
Installation Location
Make sure the PMD-B200 will not be exposed to:
• Direct sun and heat • Excessive dust
• High humidity • Excessive vibrations
Characteristics of LCD Panel
• After turning the system off, a slight ghost of the
image will remain temporarily. This is an effect
peculiar to LCD technology and is normal.
• Under cold temperature conditions, the screen
may lose contrast temporarily. After a short warmup period, it will return to normal.
• The LCD panel is manufactured using an extremely
high precision manufacturing technology. Its
effective pixel ratio is over 99.99%. This means
that 0.01% of the pixels could be either always ON
or OFF.
Using Headphones
If ACC or the monitor's power source is turned off, a
loud noise may be produced through the headphone
jack. Be sure to remove the headphones from your
ears before you turn the monitor off.
This symbol means important instructions.

Blackbird
requires continuous signals from 4 or more
tracked satellites (for 30 seconds) in order
to accurately fix your position.
“Temporary Poor GPS Coverage”:
Thunderstorms, dense foliage or
surrounding tall buildings may cause
temporary loss of position fix (acceptable if
under 30 seconds).
“Poor GPS Signal, Lost Position Fix”:
You may have entered an area where
consistently poor GPS signal (lasting 30
seconds or more) makes it impossible to
maintain a position fix.

If you encounter a problem, please review the items in the following checklist. This guide
will help you isolate the problem if the unit is at fault. Otherwise make sure the rest of your
system is properly connected, batteries are completely charged and contact your
authorized Alpine dealer or Alpine directly at 1-888-NAV-HELP (1-888-628-4357).
Unable to play Music from SD card.
Some SD card may be not compatible with Blackbird.
Unable to use Phone feature.
Some Bluetooth enabled phones may not be compatible and some features may not be
available even after synchronizing and pairing.
The vehicle’s position is erroneous.
Reset the unit and drive the vehicle in an area of good GPS reception to allow the unit
to recalibrate itself. Move to a location where strong GPS reception is possible.
No operation
· Moisture condensation➔Allow enough time for the condensation to evaporate
(about 1 hour).
· Ambient temperature
➔
Lower the temperature in the vehicle to below 113°F (45°C)
over 113°F (45°C) by driving with the windows open or air conditioner on.
· Blown fuse
➔
Replace with a fuse of the prescribed rating. (2A glass-type
fuse located in the head of the cigarette lighter adapter)
Unit does not work after removing from cradle or dock
*Make sure battery is fully charged. Unit does not charge in cradle or dock while the car
is not on.
The unit is taking a long time to acquire GPS signal.
It may take a long time for the unit to acquire GPS signal if it has been powered on in
an area that is more than 200 miles from the area where it was last powered off.
Following these steps will speed the process by resetting the GPS receiver:
Go to
GPS Status
screen. (See instructions on page 37)
Press and hold the Down Arrow (Map Zoom Out Button) for 2 seconds.
A message appears to indicate that the GPS receiver is resetting.
Low RDS Traffic Signal (for Traffic Service Users)
In order to improve the RDS Traffic signal strength, you may need to separate the RDS
antenna away from the power cord on the Cradle. Carefully follow these instructions:
Power off the unit and unplug the Cigarette Lighter Charger.
Identify the RDS antenna. It is the thin, black, insulated wire
that runs the fulllength of the thicker power cord. (See diagram
on page 7)
Carefully cut the thin RDS antenna at the point where it enters the connector that
attaches it to the Cigarette Lighter Charger.
Be careful to ONLY cut the antenna, not the larger main power cable.
Slowly peel the antenna away from the power cord to leave about 50 inches of the
antenna separated and hanging free.
Place antenna on the vehicle dashboard or for best results, mount the antenna to the
windshield using the provided suction cups. (please see suction cup instructions for details)
