Locate a spot on the windshield that won’t obstruct your view when operating the vehicle.

Ideally, the N.I.C.E. should be mounted to the windshield in temperatures above 65°C and with no frost. If these conditions do not exist, warm the interior of the vehicle with the heater and window defroster.

No.There are vehicle-specific mounts that you may purchase from Panavise, or you can have your installation center custom mount N.I.C.E. into your vehicle. If you custom mount your unit, you need to order the NAVGPS external antenna and NAVAUDIO output cable.

You have the option of using the built in wireless FM transmitter to broadcast the audio from N.I.C.E. to your existing radio. There are 15 FM frequencies to choose from so you can get the best possible reception in your vehicle or area.You may also purchase the accessory audio output cable NAVAUDIO to connect to the AUX input of your existing source unit. Using either of these features will disable the internal speaker (Refer to pages 30-32 for more details).

Depending on the area, radio stations maybe broadcasting on selected FM frequencies. N.I.C.E. provides several FM frequencies to obtain the best possible sound quality.

Tune the radio to the various stations listed on the N.I.C.E. unit and find a station that does not have a signal. Select that station on the N.I.C.E. unit and begin listening.

Yes. N.I.C.E.’s built-in GPS antenna utilizes “Smart GPS” technology, which allows it to automatically recognize when the external GPS antenna (NAVGPS) is connected.

One of the nice features about N.I.C.E. is its upgradeability, which means System updates will be available at Clarion’s www.clarion.com Website. Periodically check the Website for update announcements.

No, to add files to N.I.C.E. simply connect the unit to your CPU using the USB 2.0 cable. Next, open up the “My Computer” icon, and double-click on the N.I.C.E. drive icon. If you’re uploading music or photo files, open up a separate window containing your entertainment files. Using the mouse, click on the desired files and drag them into N.I.C.E. music or photo files. For operating system updates, just drag and drop the file into the N.I.C.E. drive (do not place them into the Map, Music or Photo files).

Of the 20GB hard drive, 10GB is dedicated solely for the purpose of entertainment. Both music and photos share this 10 gigs of storage. The other 10GB of storage is reserved for storing mapping software.

N.I.C.E. only supports JPEG photos. Photo files must be 1 MB or smaller.

To clean the display, gently wipe with the supplied cleaning cloth without any cleaning agents.
