Preparing The System For Use; Inserting The Programme Disc - Pioneer AVIC-505 Owner's Manual

Preparing the System for Use

A certain amount of preparation is necessary before you can use your new Navigation System.
If you are using the system for the first time, read and carry out the instructions in this section.
First, the appropriate software must be installed from the programme disc. Once the software
has been successfully installed, you must insert the map disc for your area. You may then want
to register the location of your home and perhaps set a password to limit use of the system.
Finally, it is necessary to calibrate the system's built-in gyrosensor. Calibration requires that
you are on a level stretch of open road without tall buildings or large stands of trees nearby, and
you will need to be able to drive straight forward for about 100 yards (100 m). Please choose a
quiet location with no obstacles for this purpose.
• The explanation that follows assumes that the system has been properly installed according to the
accompanying Installation Manual.

Inserting the programme disc

The programme disc holds the basic software needed by your system. In order to install the
software, you must first insert the programme disc into the main unit.
CAUTION
• Do not attempt to carry out this procedure while your vehicle is in motion. Do not
start driving while the programme is being installed.
• Follow this same procedure if you want to change the language used.
You are asked to insert the appropriate programme disc.
