How to Use this Manual
You have two options:
• Read the entire manual.
• Read the
Getting Started section to
gain an overview of what the system
can do. Then begin learning the
controls and screen displays. You can
reference the more detailed sections
of the manual whenever you need to.
Regardless of your choice, be sure to
store this manual on your motorcycle
along with your Owner’s Manual for
reference.
System Controls Operation
While Riding
Most of the system controls are
automatically disabled while your
motorcycle is in motion. Only the
Navigation System’s left handlebar
controls and audio system controls
continue to operate while riding.
Accessory Precautions
Installing metallic or metalized
accessories near the windscreen can
seriously degrade or prevent GPS
reception because the GPS antenna is
located under the windscreen.
If you plan to install electronic
components such as motorcycle location
devices, additional amplifiers, or other
audio components, ensure that they are
not located near the navigation control
unit in the travel trunk or near the center
display screen. Electronic signals from
these devices can cause intermittent
disruption of the navigation system.
