Reference Information
System Initialization
The navigation system must be initialized if
power to the navigation system is
interrupted for any reason (e.g., the battery
was disconnected).
Entering the Security Code
Find the navigation system’s security code
and serial number label in your Owner’s
Manual kit. Do not store the label in your
vehicle. If you lose the label, you must first
retrieve the serial number, and then obtain
the code. You can find out about your serial
number and security code from a dealer.
1.Set the power mode to ON, and turn on
the audio system.
2.Press and hold the audio system power
button for more than two seconds.
uThe system is reactivated when the
system’s control unit recognizes that
the system is in your vehicle. If the
control unit fails to recognize, Enter
Code appears on the navigation
screen.
3.Enter the security code.
uIf you do not enter the security code
correctly after 10 tries, leave the
system for one hour before trying
again, or visit a dealer to have the
system reset.
In the U.S., you can register the security
code on Honda Owners
(owners.honda.com). To find information
on how to retrieve the serial number and
obtain the code, visit
radio-navicode.honda.com.Acquiring GPS Information
Depending on the length of time the power
was interrupted, your system may require
GPS initialization.
If initialization is not necessary, the system
proceeds directly to the Startup
Confirmation screen.
If the system fails to locate a sufficient
number of satellites to locate your position
within 10 minutes, the following screen is
displayed.

Reference Information
System Limitations
GPS
The signals received from GPS satellites are
extremely weak (less than a millionth of the
strength of a local FM station) and require
an unobstructed view of the sky. The GPS
antenna is located in the dashboard. The
signal reception can easily be interrupted or
interfered with by the following:
• Metallic window tint on the front or side
windows
• Cell phones, PDAs, or other electronic
devices docked in a cradle or lying loose
on the dashboard
• Remote starters or “hidden” vehicle
tracking systems mounted near the
navigation unit
• Audio electronic devices mounted near
the navigation unit
• Trees, tall buildings, freeway overpasses,
tunnels, or overhead electrical power
wires
GPS is operated by the U.S. Department of
Defense. For security reasons, there are
certain inaccuracies built into GPS for which
the navigation system must constantly
compensate. This can cause occasional positioning errors of up to several hundred
feet.
Address Calculation
The destination icon shows only the
approximate location of a destination
address. This occurs if the number of
possible addresses is different from the
number of actual addresses on a block. For
example, the address 1425 on a 1400 block
with 100 possible addresses (because it is
followed by the 1500 block) will be shown a
quarter of the way down the block by the
system. If there are only 25 actual addresses
on the block, the actual location of address
1425 would be at the end of the block.
Database
The digitized map database reflects
conditions as they existed at various points
in time before production. Accordingly,
your database may contain inaccurate or
incomplete data or information due to the
passage of time, road construction,
changing conditions, or other causes.
For example, some places/landmarks may
be missing when you search the database
because the name was misspelled, the place
was improperly categorized, or a place/
landmark is not yet in the database. This is
also true for police stations, hospitals, and
other public institutions. Do not rely on the
navigation system if you need law
enforcement or hospital services. Always
check with local information sources.
