Keyboard Layout
Allows you to select the displayed
keypad screen: Alphabet or
QWERTY .
Units (mile or km)
Allows you to select the units for the
entire system ( mile or km ).
Voice Recognition Feedback
Allows you to turn voice control system
prompts On or Off . When Off, you will
not hear the voice control system
confirmations or prompts.
Voice
Allows you to select the guidance voice:
Female or Male .
Clock Adjustment
From the Setup screen (second), say or
select Clock Adjustment and the
following screen appears:
This screen allows you to set or adjust
the following:
 Auto Daylight Savings Time (Default = ON)
 Auto Time Zone by GPS (Default = ON)
 DST (Daylight Savings Time) Selection (Change DST schedule)
 Time Adjustment (Adjust your clock)
 Reset button (resets this screen’s settings to factory defaults)
Auto Daylight Saving Time
Sets automatic daylight saving time On
or Off . If set to On the navi clock will
automatically “spring ahead” or “fall
behind” by one hour when a daylight
savings time change occurs. If you
reside in a state or area where daylight
saving time is not used, then you may
want to turn this feature off.
NOTE:
If you set Auto Daylig ht Saving Time to
On , the Daylight Saving Time function
is activated even in an area that does
not adopt the Daylight Saving Time
system.
The federal government has mandated
that, starting in 2007, daylight savings
time will change in March & November
instead of the old schedule in April &
October. The new government daylight
savings time schedule is subject to
review and possible cancellation in
2008.
System Set-up
2008 TL

Navigation System99
The dates that the navi switches between
standard and daylight savings time are
not triggered by GPS satellite signals.
They are stored in the navi software and
can be selected in the DST schedule
selection screen. Therefore your navi
clock will change based on the daylight
savings time schedule.
Auto Time Zone by GPS
Sets automatic time zone selection by
GPS to On or Off . If you are driving
across the country and passing through
time zones, then this feature will
automatically set the time to the time
zone you are traveling through.
However, if you live and work in two
different time zones, you may want to
turn this feature off.
NOTE:
When driving near a time zone
boundary, the displayed time zone may
fluctuate between the two zone times.
Daylight Savings Time (DST)
Selection (Change DST
schedule)
This option lets you select the schedule
( April-October , or March-
November ) when daylight savings
time will automatically occur in your
navi. The system default is the new
2007 “ March-November ” schedule as
mandated by the US government.
During 2008-2009, it is possible that
this new change will be canceled by the
government, and retu rned back to the
previous “April-October” schedule. If
so, simply change the schedule in this
setting back to the “April-October”
schedule.
Time Adjustment
Adjusts the current time in hours and
minutes. You can reset the adjustment
by selecting Reset. Selecting Done
returns you to the previous screen.
NOTE:
Selecting Reset also clears any
changes you made to “Auto Daylight
Saving Time,” “Auto Time Zone by
GPS,” or “DST Selection” settings.
Depending on your location, you may
need to adjust these settings.

Coverage Areas
Map Coverage
All roads displayed on the Hawaii map
screens are detailed coverage roads.
Text related to “unverified” roads or
areas are not applicable. The following
topics do not apply in Hawaii:
 Unverified road descriptions (see page
6 , 88)
 Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page
65)
 Setup entries that relate to turning on or off unverified routing (see
page
89)
 When zooming in and out, there is no 350 mile scale for Hawaii
Other Map Issues
 See the coverage section for a list of islands with coverage (see page
111)
 The map scale “traffic” indicator, shown beneath the map scale bar,
may show at vehicle start, but
disappear later. This is normal.  Freeway Exit information does not
exist in Hawaii, so if the “Freeway
Exit Info” icon is shown on the icon
bar, the button may be selected, but
there is no data for Hawaii.
Address and POI Entry Screens
When in Hawaii, the following
differences occur for map, address, and
POI selection:
 It is not possible to enter US mainland addresses or scroll the map
east to the US mainland.
 Selection of the “State” is confined to the state of Hawaii only
 Entry of a destination address or POI on an island other than your current
island may result in a screen caution
message. This is normal because
there are no “ferry” routes between
islands available in the database.
 If the “Guidance Prompts” setting on the main Setup screen is set to
normal or maximum, street names
will not be spoken in voice guidance
commands.
Setup Screen Differences
The Setup screen differences are minor,
and are listed below. See the Setup
section (page
78) for additional
information.
Routing and Guidance (Unverified
Area Routing On/Off)
This feature is unavailable. All roads
displayed on the map are verified.
Clock Adjust Screen
There is no Daylight Savings Time for
Hawaii. In the Setup Clock
adjustment screen, ensure that the
Auto Daylight Saving Time setting
is Off . To test your adjustment, use the
voice control system, and say, “What
time is it?” (see page
98) .
