Clarion P200 User manual

N.I.C.E. P200 3
Dear Customer
Congratulations on your purchase of the world’s
finest brand in the electronic industry. At Clarion we
are committed to quality and are confident that you
will be pleased with your purchase.
Clarion’s Navigational In-Car Entertainment system
(N.I.C.E. P200) system provides four products in
one:
• Exceptional navigation supported by a built-in
Global Positioning System (GPS)
• Media player that supports videos, music and a
photo image viewer
• Solitaire and Freecell games
• Utilities that include contacts, calculator,
calendar, stop watch and a text reader
The N.I.C.E. P200 has 10 gigabytes of storage for
storing music (.mp3, .wma and .wav formats), video
and photos.
A compact, 4-inch Thin Film Transistor (TFT) Liquid
Crystal Display (LCD) provides high-resolution
images. This translates into easy-to-use mapping
and entertainment viewing. The display doubles as
a touch screen control pad.
Three power sources cover all conditions:
• A rechargeable battery provides three hours of
entertainment away from the GPS cradle
• A car cigarette lighter adapter provides power
for navigation
• A 110v power adapter works at home
Clarion welcomes you to an experience like no
other. To learn more about Clarion’s complete line
of audio and video products, please visit us at our
