2. PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

  • For your safety, the driver should not watch any video sources and/or operate the controls while driving. Please note that watching and operating any video sources while driving are prohibited by law in some countries. Also, while driving, keep the volume to a level at which external sounds can be heard.
  • When using the navigation system, follow the precautions listed below. After reading this manual, be sure to keep it in a handy place (such as the glove box of your car).
  • This navigation system should not be used to replace your own judgment. No itinerary suggested by this navigation system should ever override any highway regulations, your own judgment, or a knowledge of safe driving practices. Do not follow the navigation system's suggested itinerary if it would cause you to perform a dangerous or illegal act, place you in a dangerous situation, or take you into an area you consider unsafe.
  • The advice provided by the navigation system is to be regarded as a suggestion only. There may be times when the navigation system displays the vehicle's location incorrectly, fails to suggest the shortest route, or fails to direct you to your desired destination. In such instances, rely on your own driving judgment, taking into account the driving conditions at the time.
  • Do not use the navigation system to locate emergency services. The database does not contain a complete listing of emergency services such as police stations, fire halls, hospitals and walk-in clinics. Please show discretion and ask for directions in such instances.
  • As the driver, you alone are responsible for your driving safety.

  • In order to avoid a traffic accident, do not operate the system while driving.

  • In order to avoid a traffic accident, operate the system only when the vehicle is stopped at a safe place and the parking brake is on.
  • In order to avoid a traffic accident or traffic offense, remember that actual road conditions and traffic regulations take precedence over the information contained on the navigation system.
  • The software may contain inaccurate or incomplete information due to the passage of time, changing circumstances, and the sources of information used. Please respect current traffic conditions and regulations at all times while driving.
  • Where actual road conditions and highway regulations differ from the information contained on the navigation system, abide by the highway regulations.
  • Keep the amount of time spent viewing the screen while driving to a strict minimum.

- The navigation system does not provide, nor represent in any way information on: traffic and highway regulations; technical aspects of the vehicle including weight, height, width, load and speed limits; road conditions including grade, percentage of incline and surface conditions; obstacles such as the height and width of bridges and tunnels; and other current driving or road conditions. Always rely on your own judgment when driving a car, taking into account current driving conditions.

  • Do not disassemble or modify this unit. It may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.
  • Do not use this unit when a trouble exists, such as no screen content appears or no sound is audible. It may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock. For that case, consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center.
  • In case of a problem, such as any material has been entered in the unit, the unit gets wet, or smoke or strange smells come out of the unit, etc., stop using this unit immediately, and consult your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center.

Using it in that condition may cause an accident, fire, or electric shock.

  • Use a fuse with the same specification only when replacing the fuse.
    Using a fuse with a different specification may cause a fire.
  • For the installation of this unit or a change in the installation, ask your authorized dealer or a nearest Clarion service center for safety. Professional skills and experiences are required to do so.

  • When the inside of the car is very cold and the player is used soon after switching on the heater, moisture may form on the disc (DVD/CD) or the optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc (DVD/CD), wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts of the player, do not use the player for about one hour. The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.

  • Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.
  • This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in the event that trouble arises, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.
  • This equipment 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 reasonable protection against harmful interference 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 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, the user is encouraged to consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

  • Small black and shiny spots inside the liquid crystal panel are normal for LCD products.

USB Port

  • The USB memory stick may stick out when inserted, so it may cause danger during driving. In such cases, you can use a commercial USB extension cable, etc., but use it safely under your own judgment.
  • The USB memory sticks must be recognized as “USB mass storage class” to work properly. Some models may not operate correctly.
    When using an USB memory stick, we recommend that you backup your data stored on it before by using a personal computer etc.

When the memorized data is lost or damaged by any chance, Clarion shall not be liable for any damage.

  • Data files may be broken when using USB memory sticks in the following situation: When disconnecting the USB memory stick or turning the power off during writing or reading data.

  • Connecting with the computer is not covered.
  • Music files (MP3, WMA, etc.) stored in the USB memory stick can be played back.

Cleaning

- Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth and gently wipe off the dirt. For tough dirt, apply some neutral detergent diluted in water to a soft cloth, wipe off the dirt gently, then wipe again with a dry cloth.

Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, etc., as these substances may damage the cabinet

or cause the paint to peel. Also, leaving rubber or plastic products in contact with the cabinet for long periods of time may cause stains.

- Cleaning the liquid crystal panel

The liquid crystal panel tends to collect dust, so wipe it off occasionally with a soft cloth. The surface is easily scratched, so do not rub it with hard objects.

Handling

- New discs may have some roughness around the edges. If such discs are used, the player may not work or the sound may skip. Use a ball-point pen or the like to remove any roughness from the edge of the disc.

Ball-point pen Roughness

  • Do not use any solvents, such as commercially available cleaners, anti-static spray, or thinner to clean discs.
  • After using special disc cleaner, let the disc dry off well before playing it.

On Discs

  • Exercise a good precaution when loading a disc. The operation panel will close automatically when leaving it open for a while.

10 seconds for CD-DA (CDA)

45 seconds for MP3 recorded at 44.1 kHz, 128kbps

90 seconds for WMA recorded at 44.1 kHz, 128kbps

- Folder structure

A disc with a folder having more than 8 hierarchical levels will conflict with the ISO9660 and playback will be impossible.

• Number of files or folders

  1. The maximum allowable number of folders is 200 (including root directory); the maximum allowable number of files is 1500 (max. 1500 per folder). This represents the maximum number of tracks that can be played back.

  2. Tracks are played in the order that they were recorded onto a disc. (Tracks might not always be played in the order displayed on the PC).

  3. Some noise may occur depending on the type of encoder software used while recording.

  4. In case of a track recorded at VBR (variable bit rate), the display for the play time of the track may be slightly different from the actual play time. Also, the recommended value of VBR ranges from 32 kbps to 320 kbps.
    • After disc selection, the play mode is automatically engaged.

Playing MP3 folders

When selected for play, files and folders (Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select) are accessed in the order in which they were written to the media. As a result, the order in which they are expected to be played may not match the order in which they are actually played.

You may be able to set the order in which MP3/WMA files are to be played by assigning file names beginning with play sequence numbers such as "01" to "99".

For example, a medium with the following folder/ file hierarchy is subject to Folder Search, File Search or Folder Select. See the diagram below.
