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and regulation data on the Map DVD-ROM may be outdated.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 turned 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
programs 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.

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 center 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.
