Quick Start Guide

Acquiring 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.

Cleaning 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 the stain off

with a cloth moistened with neutral

cleaner, then wipe it again with a

clean soft dry cloth.

·Applying spray cleaner directly to the

unit may affect 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

screened print.

How to Reset Your Unit

If the unit or the connected unit fails

to operate properly, reset the unit.

1 Press the <Reset> button.

The unit returns to factory settings.

NOTE

·Disconnect the USB device before pressing

the <Reset> button. Pressing the <Reset>

button with the USB device connected can

damage the data stored in the USB device.

For how to disconnect the USB device, see

How to Play Music (P.15).

·When the unit is turned on after resetting,

the Initial SETUP screen appears. See First

Step (P.6).

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.

WARNINGS

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.

CAUTIONS

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.

IMPORTANT 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.
