Welcome
Thank you for purchasing a Polaris Interactive Digital
Display (PIDD), and welcome to the Polaris RiderX
family. Your PIDD is easy to use and will allow you to
customize the information displayed through the use of
alternate screen selections. The RiderX app gives you
the power to plan, track and share your rides, as well as
connect to radar weather, rider services and more.
For a safe and enjoyable riding experience with your new
PIDD, please read your vehicle’s owner’s manual and
this PIDD owner’s manual. If you should need additional
assistance with PIDD operation or software updates,
please see your Polaris dealer or visit RiderX.com.
WARNING! Do not enter information or adjust this
device while operating your vehicle. Distracted driving
can result in loss of control, collision or accident,
which may result in serious injury or death. Avoid
using any features and devices while driving that may
take your attention away from the road or trail and
safe driving habits, even for a moment.
The operator assumes all risk associated with using
this device. Please read the owner’s manual provided
with your vehicle.
CAUTION! The speedometer may display incorrect
values at the existence of electromagnetic radiation
>= 10 V/m.
