Otherwise make sure the rest of yoursystem is properly connected, batteries are completely charged and contact yourauthorized Alpine dealer or Alpine directly at 1-888-NAV-HELP (1-888-628-4357).Unable to play Music from SD card.Some SD card may be not compatible with Blackbird.Unable to use Phone feature.Some Bluetooth enabled phones may not be compatible and some features may not beavailable even after synchronizing and pairing.The vehicle’s position is erroneous.Reset the unit and drive the vehicle in an area of good GPS reception to allow the unitto recalibrate itself. Move to a location where strong GPS reception is possible.No operation· Moisture condensation ➔Allow enough time for the condensation to evaporate(about 1 hour).· Ambient temperature ➔Lower the temperature in the vehicle to below 113°F (45°C)over 113°F (45°C) by driving with the windows open or air conditioner on.· Blown fuse ➔Replace with a fuse of the prescribed rating. (2A glass-typefuse located in the head of the cigarette lighter adapter)Unit does not work after removing from cradle or dock*Make sure battery is fully charged. Unit does not charge in cradle or dock while the caris not on.The unit is taking a long time to acquire GPS signal. It may take a long time for the unit to acquire GPS signal if it has been powered on inan area that is more than 200 miles from the area where it was last powered off.Following these steps will speed the process by resetting the GPS receiver:Go to GPS Statusscreen. (See instructions on page 37)Press and hold the Down Arrow (Map Zoom Out Button) for 2 seconds.A message appears to indicate that the GPS receiver is resetting.Low RDS Traffic Signal (for Traffic Service Users) In order to improve the RDS Traffic signal strength, you may need to separate the RDSantenna away from the power cord on the Cradle. Carefully follow these instructions:Power off the unit and unplug the Cigarette Lighter Charger.Identify the RDS antenna. It is the thin, black, insulated wire that runs the fulllength of the thicker power cord. (See diagramon page 7)Carefully cut the thin RDS antenna at the point where it enters the connector that attaches it to the Cigarette Lighter Charger. Be careful to ONLY cut the antenna, not the larger main power cable.Slowly peel the antenna away from the power cord to leave about 50 inches of the antenna separated and hanging free.Place antenna on the vehicle dashboard or for best results, mount the antenna to the windshield using the provided suction cups. (please see suction cup instructions for details)5432132140IN CASE OF DIFFICULTY270145 PMD-B200_0516.qxd 5/16/07 12:07 PM Page 40
