Important safeguards
WARNING
Pioneer does not recommend that you install
your navigation system yourself. We recom-
mend that only authorised Pioneer service
personnel, who have special training and ex-
perience in mobile electronics, set up and in-
stall this product. NEVER SERVICE THIS
PRODUCT YOURSELF. Installing or servi-
cing this product and its connecting cables
may expose you to the risk of electric shock
or other hazards, and can cause damage to
the navigation system that is not covered by
warranty.
! Read this manual fully and carefully before
installing your navigation system.
! As with any accessory in your vehicle’s in-
terior, the navigation system should not di-
vert your attention from the safe operation
of your vehicle. If you experience difficulty
in operating the system or reading the dis-
play, please make adjustments while safely
parked.
Precautions before
connecting the system
CAUTION
! If you decide to perform the installation
yourself, and have special training and ex-
perience in the mobile electronics instal-
lations, please carefully follow all of the
steps in the installation manual.
! Secure all wiring with cable clamps or
electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wir-
ing to remain exposed.
! Do not directly connect the yellow lead of
this product to the vehicle battery. If the
lead is directly connected to the battery,
engine vibration may eventually cause
the insulation to fail at the point where
the wire passes from the passenger com-
partment into the engine compartment. If
the yellow lead
’s insulation tears as a re-
sult of contact with metal parts, short-cir-
cuiting can occur, resulting in
considerable danger.
! It is extremely dangerous to allow cables
to become wound around the steering col-
umn or gearstick. Be sure to install this
product, its cables, and wiring away in
such so that they will not obstruct or hin-
der driving.
! Make sure that the cables and wires will
not interfere with or become caught in
any of the vehicle
’s moving parts, espe-
cially the steering wheel, gearstick, hand-
brake, sliding seat tracks, doors, or any of
the vehicle
’s controls.
! Do not route wires where they will be ex-
posed to high temperatures. If the insula-
tion heats up, wires may become
damaged, resulting in a short circuit or
malfunction and permanent damage to
the product.
! Do not cut the GPS aerial cable to shorten
it or use an extension to make it longer.
Altering the aerial cable could result in a
short circuit or malfunction.
! Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the
protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse resis-
tor or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.
! Never feed power to other electronic pro-
ducts by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of the navigation sys-
tem and tapping into the lead. The current
capacity of the lead will be exceeded,
causing overheating.
