IMPORTANT INFORMATION
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE
USING THIS PRODUCT
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 (1-888-628-4357) before using
the navigation system.
FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
PND-K3 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.
PRECAUTIONS AND NOTICES

POINTS TO OBSERVE FOR SAFE USAGE
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.
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 PND-K3 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 warm-up
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.
