• This device com
pi
ies with part
15
of the
FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions:
(1)
This device may
not cause harmful interference, and
(2)
this
device must accept any interference
re-
ceived, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.
• Information to User
Alteration or modifications carried out with-
out appropriate authorization may invali-
date the user's right to operate the
equipment.
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a Class B di-
gita! device, pursuant to Part
15
of the
FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide
rea-
sonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. 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 com-
munications. 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
re-
ception, which can
be
determined
by
turning
the equipment off and
on
,the user
is
encour-
aged to try to correct the interference
by
one
or
more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equip-
ment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into
an
outlet on a
circuit different from that to which
there-
ceiver
is
connected.
-Consult the dealer or
an
experienced radio/
TV
technician for help.
A
wARNING
This product contains chemicals known to the
State of California and other governmental enti-
ties to cause cancer and birth defects or other
re-
productive harm.
Wash
hands
after
handling.
A
cAUTION
This product
is
evaluated
in
moderate and tropi-
cal climate condition underthe Audio, video and
similar electronic apparatus- Safety require-
ments,
IEC
60065.
The
Safety
of
Your
Ears
is
in
Your
Hands
Get
the
most
out
of
your
equipment
by playing
it at a safe
level-a
level
that
lets
the
sound
come
through
clearly
without
annoying
blar-
ing
or
distortion
and,
most
importantly,
with-
out
affecting
your
sensitive
hearing.
Sound
can
be
deceiving. Over
time,
your
hearing
"comfort
level"
adapts
to
higher
volumes
of
sound, so
what
sounds
"normal"
can
actually
be loud and
harmful
to
your
hearing.
Guard
against
this
by
setting
your
equipment
at
a
safe level BEFORE
your
hearing
adapts
.
[!]
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set
your
volume
control
at
a
low
setting.
• Slowly increase
the
sound
until
you can
hear
it
comfortably
and
clearly,
without
dis-
tortion.
•
Once
you have
established
a
comfortable
sound
level, set
the
dial
and
leave it
there.[!]
BE
SURE TO OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
• Do not
turn
up
the
volume
so
high
that
you
can't
hear
what's
around
you.
• Use
caution
or
temporarily
discontinue
use
in
potentially
hazardous
situations.

A
cAUTION
When a route
is
calculated, the route
and
voice
guidance for the route
are
automatically
set.
Also, for
day
or time traffic regulations, only infor-
mation about traffic regulations applicable
at
the
time when the route
was
calculated
is
consid-
ered.
One-way
streets
and
streetclosures may
not
be
taken into consideration.
For
example, if a
street
is
open
during the morning
only,
but
you
arrive
later,
it would
be
against the traffic regula-
tions
so
you
cannot drive along the
set
route.
When driving, please follow the actual traffic
signs. Also, the
system
may
not know some traf-
fic regulations.
Before using your navigation system,
be
sure
to
read and fully understand the following
safety information:
•
Read
the entire manual before operating
this
navigation system.
• This navigation system may in certain cir-
cumstances display inaccurate position of
your vehicle, the distance of objects shown
on the screen, and compass directions.
In
addition, the system has certain limita-
tions, including the inability to identify one-
way streets, temporary traffic restrictions
and potentially unsafe driving areas. Please
exercise your own
judgment
in the
light
of
actual driving conditions.
• The navigation features of your navigation
system (and rear view camera option if pur-
chased) are intended solely
as
an aid to
you
in
the operation of your vehicle. It is
not a substitute for your attentiveness,
judgment, and care when driving.
• Certain
country
and government laws may
prohibit
or
restrict the placement and use
of this system in your vehicle. Please com-
ply with all applicable laws and regulations
regarding the use, installation and opera-
tion of your navigation system.
• Do not operate this navigation system (or
the rear view camera option if purchased) if
doing
so
will divert your attention in any
way from the safe operation of your vehicle.
Always observe safe driving rules and fol-
low all existing traffic regulations. If you
ex-
perience difficulty in operating the system
or
reading the display, park your vehicle in
a safe location and apply
the
parking brake
before making the necessary adjustments.
• Never allow others to use
the
system un-
less they have read and understood
the
op-
erating instructions.
• Never use
this
navigation system to route
to hospitals, police stations
or
similar
facil-
ities in
an
emergency. Stop using any func-
tions relating to the hands-free
phoning
and please call the appropriate emergency
number.
• Route and guidance information displayed
by
this equipment
is
for
reference purposes
only. It may not accurately reflect
the
latest
permissible routes, road conditions,
one
way streets, road closures,
or
traffic restric-
tions.
• Traffic restrictions and advisories currently
in force should always take precedence
over guidance given
by
the
navigation sys-
tem. Always obey current traffic restric-
tions,
even
if the navigation system
provides contrary advice.
• Failure to set correct information
about
the
local time may result in
the
navigation
sys-
tem providing improper routing and gui-
dance instructions.
• Never set the volume of
your
navigation
system
so
high
that
you
cannot
hear out-
side traffic and emergency vehicles.
• The data encoded
in
the built-in
memory
is
the intellectual property of the provider, and
the provider is responsible
for
such con-
tent.
• Keep this manual handy as a reference
for
operating procedures and safety informa-
tion.
•
Pay
close attention to all warnings in
this
manual and follow the instructions care-
fully.
Failure to follow the
warnings
and
cautions
as described
in
this manual and on
the
pro-
duct
itself and/or failure to use this
product
properly may result in serious injury
or
death.
