audio HONDA ODYSSEY 2009 RB3-RB4 / 4.G Navigation Manual

122Navigation System
Operation in Alaska and
Hawaii
Certain functions that rely on a satellite
signal will not work in Alaska and
Hawaii. These functions include but are
not limited to XM radio, automatic
clock updates, and time zone
adjustments.
Alaska
If the vehicle was purchased in the
lower 48 states and driven to Alaska, the
system cannot display maps. The
message “Vehicle is out of the
database...” will be displayed.
Hawaii
This section describes the differences in
navigation system operation for vehicles
delivered in Hawaii.
XM Radio
Navigation-equipped vehicles delivered
to Hawaii are equipped with XM
hardware, but XM broadcasting is not
available; therefore sections of the
manual that mention XM audio do not
apply. Vehicles originally delivered to
the U.S. mainland and shipped to Hawaii
also have XM, but will not function
because the XM satellites (aimed toward
the U.S. mainland) are too far away to
obtain reception.
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 and 86 ).
 Cautions and pop-up windows related to unverified roads (see page
64).  Setup entries that relate to turning on
or off unverified routing (see
page 87 ).
 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 109).
 Freeway Exit information does not
exist in Hawaii, so the “Freeway Exit
Info” icon is not shown on the icon
bar.
Coverage Areas

Coverage Areas
Address and POI Entry Screens
When in Hawaii, the following
differences occur for map, address, and
POI selection:
 It is not possible to enter U.S.
mainland addresses or scroll the map
east to the U.S. 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 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 (page76) 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 saving time for
Hawaii. Auto Daylight Saving
Time, Auto Time Zone by GPS , and
DST Selection will not be shown on
the Clock adjustment screen. To test
your adjustment, use the voice control
system, and say “What time is it?” (see
page96).
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink®
Operation
When pairing a cell phone to use the
Bluetooth® HandsFreeLink® feature,
you may see a “Phone-Data
Connection” screen. If so, do not
complete this portion of the process.
Shipping a Vehicle To or From
Hawaii
Although the DVD in the vehicle
contains maps for both U.S. mainland
and Hawaii, the dealer must perform the
selection of “U.S. mainland” or
“Hawaii” for you. When the dealer
makes the switch from U.S. mainland to
Hawaii or vice versa, the system clears
all user data. Make sure to record any
personal information that you do not
want to lose.
NOTE:
Shipping a vehicle from Hawaii to the
U.S. mainland
 If you wish to receive XM audio, you must call XM and set up an account
at (800) 852-9696.
Shipping a vehicle from the U.S.
mainland to Hawaii
 If a U.S. mainland -delivered vehicle
is shipped to Hawaii, there is no XM
reception. See your Hawaii dealer to
allow viewing of local Hawaii maps.
 The issues under “Operation in Hawaii” above apply.

Frequently Asked Questions
My state does not observe daylight saving time. How do I turn
off this feature? You can turn off this feature. See page
96.
Daylight saving time occurred, but the navigation system did
not change time even though Setup shows Auto Daylight
Saving Time is On . Go to the Clock adjustment
screen in Setup and select DST Selection.
Ensure that the correct DST schedule is selected. For more information, see
Clock Adjustment on page
96.
The navigation system automatic daylight time feature is not
switching the navigation system clock on the correct dates.
Why is this? 1) Go to the
Clock adjustment screen in Setup and ensure that Auto
Daylight Saving Time is On .
2) The navigation system is designed to switch to daylight saving time
according to the months selected in the DST schedule selection screen.
Ensure that the appropriate schedule is selected. For more information,
see Clock Adjustment on page96.
The navigation system clock switched by one hour for no
apparent reason. Wh at can cause this? 1) You may be driving near
a time zone boundary (see Auto Time Zone by
GPS on page
97).
2) The navigation system does not switch between standard and daylight
saving time. Set Auto Daylight Saving Time to On on the Clock
adjustment screen in Setup, and ensure that the correct month switching
schedule is chosen on the DST schedule selection screen. See page
96
for more information.
My battery was disconnected or went dead, and the
navigation system is asking for a code. Where do I find this
code? There should be a card in the glove
box with the anti-theft code for the
navigation/audio syst em. This card contains the 4-digit security code and
serial number. If you cannot find it , your dealer can help you out.
I speak a language other than English. When will other
languages be available fo r the navigation system? This is being considered
as a future enhancement.

Troubleshooting
Screen Error Message Solution
Navigation system is unable to acquire a proper GPS signal.
Make sure there is nothing on the dashboard blocking the GPS antenna
(aftermarket metallic window tinting or aftermarket devices placed on the
dashboard, like radar detectors, cell p hones, or loose items). If the dashboard
is clear of objects, move the vehicle to an open space away from tall buildings,
trees, etc.

Navigation unit door is open or No DVD disc is inserted.
Please check system. Make sure that the navigation DVD disc
is inserted with the label side up
and the navigation unit door is fully snapped closed (see page108).
No DVD disc. Please check system. Check that the navigation DVD disc is in serted with the label side up (see
page108). If the problem persists, see your dealer.
DVD disc reading error (unfor matted). Please consult your
dealer. Check the DVD disc surface
for deep scratches or other damage. Make sure
you are using a navigation DVD (white-c olored label). The system cannot
read other mapping databases or vide o DVDs. If the problem persists, see
your dealer.
Display temp is too high. Syst em will shut down until display
cools down. This message will appear briefly when
the display temperature is too high,
and then the display will turn off until the temperature cools down. The
system will turn back on when the display cools down.
Outside temperature is low. System will take a while to start
up. The temperature is below -22°F and
the navigation system has difficulty
reading the DVD. The system will st art up when the temperature warms up.
Navigation system voice recognition ca nnot be activated
when another unit is us ing the audio system. HandsFreeLink (HFL) can override the
navigation system. Make sure the
HFL TALK button is not on when you press the NAVI TALK button, or the
message will appear. Simply press the HFL BACK button to resume
control of the navigation voice buttons.
