Important notice
To avoid the risk of accident or injury, read the
following warning before installing and operating
the unit.
On handling
Do not let foreign objects get inside the cradle
connector of the unit, as it may cause malfunction.
Turn the unit off by pressing ?/1, take it out of the
cradle, then disconnect the car battery adapter,
otherwise car battery drain may occur. Note the
following.
Turning the ignition off does not turn off the
unit, which continues to draw power from the
lithium-ion rechargeable battery (built-in).
If your car’s cigarette lighter socket is not
connected to the ignition switch ACC position,
power continues to be supplied to the built-in
battery, even if you turn the ignition off.

the unit which lights up during charging.
Do not expose the unit to fire, as it may cause
malfunction.
Do not let water or rain get into the unit, as it may
cause malfunction.
If you leave the unit in direct sunlight, the LCD
may darken and not display clearly. This is not a
malfunction, and it will return to normal as
temperature decreases.
Note that the built-in battery cannot be charged at
temperatures outside 5 – 45 ºC (41 – 113 ºF).
Do not leave the unit in high ambient temperature
as the built-in battery capacity will deteriorate, or
it will become unchargeable.
On safety
General

On GPS
GPS (Global Positioning System) satellites
continuously emit signals for positioning anywhere
on the earth. As a GPS aerial receives these signals,
users can be informed of their location (latitude,
longitude and altitude). Information must be
received from 3 satellites in order to obtain two-
dimensional fixes (latitude and longitude), and 4
satellites are required for three-dimensional
positioning (latitude, longitude and altitude). As
GPS satellites are controlled by the U.S. Department
of Defense, a deliberate margin of error between a
few metres (a few feet) and 10 metres (32.8 feet)
exists. As a result, the GPS navigation system may
include an error of between 10 metres (32.8 feet)
and about 200 metres (656.2 feet), depending on the
circumstances.
As GPS information is obtained using signal from
satellites, it may be impossible or difficult to obtain
the information in the following locations:
Tunnel or underground
Under a highway
Between high buildings
Between tall trees with dense foliage
After the initial installation, park your car in a safe,
open place (no high buildings, etc.) for up to 20
minutes to allow for GPS signals to be received
before using the navigation system. The system
requires signals from a minimum of 3 GPS satellites
to calculate the current car position properly.
Note
It takes time to receive a GPS signal when switching
the unit ON after switching OFF the main power, after
the built-in battery is fully discharged, or after resetting
the unit.

Additional Information
Precautions
If your car has been parked in direct sunlight, allow
the unit to cool off before operating it.
Moisture condensation
On a rainy day or in a very damp area, moisture
condensation may occur inside the display of the
unit. Should this occur, the unit will not operate
properly. In such a case, slide the POWER switch on
the bottom right of the unit to OFF position, then
wait for about an hour until the moisture has
evaporated.
Note on LCD panel
Some stationary blue, red or green dots may appear
on the monitor. These are called “bright spots,” and
can happen with any LCD. The LCD panel is
precision-manufactured with more than 99.99 % of
its segments functional. However, it is possible that
a small percentage (typically 0.01 %) of the
segments may not light up properly. This will not,
however, interfere with your viewing.
Maintenance
Fuse replacement
When replacing the fuse in the car battery adapter,
be sure to use one matching the amperage rating
stated on the original fuse. If the fuse blows, check
the power connection and replace the fuse. If the
fuse blows again after replacement, there may be an
internal malfunction. In such a case, consult your
nearest Sony dealer.
Warning
Never use a fuse with an amperage rating exceeding
the one supplied with the unit as this could damage
the unit.

Troubleshooting
The following checklist will help you remedy
problems you may encounter with your unit.
Before going through the checklist below, check the
connection and operating procedures.
Resetting the unit
If the navigation software freezes, try resetting
the unit.
Press the RESET button with a pointed object,
such as a ballpoint pen.
If the problem persists, switch off the main
power by sliding the POWER switch to the OFF
position, then switch on again after
approximately 10 seconds.
Note
After you switch off the main power, it may take time to
receive GPS signals when switching on again.
The operation icons on the display do not
function.
An operation may take time while a map is displayed.
The unit does not turn on.
t Check that the POWER switch on the bottom right
of the unit is in the ON position.
t Charge the built-in battery.
t Check that the unit is securely attached to the
cradle (page 8).
The built-in battery cannot be charged.
t Check that the POWER switch on the bottom right
of the unit is in the ON position.
t If the AC power adapter is being used, disconnect it
from the outlet, then reconnect.
t The built-in lithium-ion battery can be charged at
temperatures between 5 – 45 ºC (41 – 113 ºF). The
battery may not be charged if the temperature
inside the unit increases because of direct sunlight
exposure, etc. This is not a malfunction.
GPS signal cannot be received.
• The system cannot receive GPS signals due to an
obstruction.
t Move your car to a place where signals can be
received clearly.
GPS signal reception is low.
t Check the GPS information.
t The optional External GPS Antenna VCA-41
may be required for a heated or heat reflective
windscreen.
• There is an obstacle in front of the GPS aerial.
t Install the unit where the signal is not interrupted
by the body of the car, etc. For details on the unit
installation, see “Installing location” on page 5.
• Signal may not be received if a window film is
attached. In that case, use the optional External GPS
Antenna VCA-41.
The car position on the map does not match
the current road.
The error margin of the signal from the GPS satellites
is too large. A maximum error margin of a few
hundred metres can exist.
Voice guidance cannot be heard.
The volume is set too low.
t Raise the volume in the setting menu (page 16).
When the unit is powered by the built-in battery,
maximum available volume is 70 %, even if set
higher (80 %, etc).
The LCD is not displayed normally.
In high temperatures, the LCD may darken and not
display clearly. In low temperatures, afterimage may
occur on the LCD. These are not malfunctions, and
the LCD will return to normal when the temperature
returns to within the specified operating range.
• The LCD is dark, or the map colour has changed.
t The auto dimmer function may be activated
because its sensor (page 10) is covered by a hand,
etc.
