PRECAUTIONS AND NOTICES
■ Important Information
This product is intended to safely 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 fol-
lowing 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 emer-
gency services such as police and fire stations,
hospitals and clinics are contained in the data-
base. 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 fac-
tors 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, weath-
er conditions, or any other factors which may
affect the safety or timing of your driving experi-
ence. Use your own personal judgment if the nav-
igation system is unable to provide you with an
alternate route.
7) There may be situations where the navigation sys-
tem 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 naviga-
tion 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 man-
ner and location before attempting operation.
8) Make certain that the volume level of the naviga-
tion 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.
Blackbird 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 unde-
sired 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 inter-
ference 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 dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
·Consult an experienced radio/TV technician.
Please Read Carefully Before Using This Product.
