SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
If the driver of the vehicle is distracted, this may lead to an accident or injur y. Operating the
ZENEC system can distract attention from the general traffic situation! Equally, connecting,
changing or inserting data media can distract the driver from the general traffic situation.
CAUTION
Always choose loudspeaker settings such that acoustic signals coming from outside can always
be heard in the vehicle (e.g. signal horns or sirens).
CAUTION
Incorrect installation or commissioning of the ZENEC system may cause damage to the ZENEC
system or to the vehicle electronics. Only let qualified specialists authorized by ZENEC install the
device.
CAUTION
This ZENEC system is intended solely for operation at an on-board voltage of 12 V DC. Operating
the ZENEC system at any other voltage can cause damage to the ZENEC system or to the vehicle
electrical system.
CAUTION
Taking apart or modifying the ZENEC system can result in damage to the device or the vehicle.
Opening the device or modification by a person not authorized by ZENEC will render warranty
claims null and void.
In the event of a malfunction or defect please contact an authorized ZENEC dealer. Unauthorized
repairs will render warranty claims null and void.
CAUTION
The connection and charging leads of external mobile devices can get in the way of the driver.
Please run these so that the driver's freedom of movement is not hindered.
CAUTION
Route recommendations and displayed traffic signs on the ZENEC system may differ from the
real situation. Traffic signs and traffic regulations have precedence over route recommendations
and indications of the ZENEC systems.
Speed data displayed in the navigation system corresponds to the permitted speed limit. Please
adjust your speed and driving behavior to the prevailing visibility, weather, road, and traffic
conditions.

To change the password:
