FUTURE REFERENCE
1 Read this manual fully and carefully before in-
stalling your navigation system.
2 Keep this manual handy for future reference.
3 Pay close attention to all warnings in this
manual and follow the instructions carefully.
4 This navigation system may in certain circum-
stances display erroneous information regard-
ing the position of your vehicle, the distance
of objects shown on the screen, and compass
directions. In addition, the system has certain
limitations, including the inability to identify
one-way streets, temporary traffic restrictions
and potentially unsafe driving areas. Please
exercise your own judgment in the light of ac-
tual driving conditions.
5 As with any accessory in your vehicle’s inter-
ior, the navigation system should not divert

02 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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 the
cables to become wound around the steer-
ing column or shift lever. Be sure to install
this product, its cables, and wiring away
in such a way that they will not obstruct
or hinder driving.
!Make sure that the cables and wires are
routed and secured so they will not inter-
fere with or become caught in any of the
vehicle’s moving parts, especially the
steering wheel, shift lever, parking brake,
sliding seat tracks, doors, or any of the ve-
hicle’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 antenna cable to
shorten it or use an extension to make it
longer. Altering the antenna 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.
Before installing this product
!Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and ne-
gative grounding only. Failure to do so may
result in a fire or malfunction.
!To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be
sure to disconnect the (–) battery cable be-
fore beginning installation.
To prevent damage
WARNING
!Use speakers over 50 W (output value)
and between 4 Wto 8 W(impedance value).
Do not use 1 Wto 3 Wspeakers for this
unit.

Connecting the System

!The black cable is ground. When instal-
ling this unit or power amp (sold sepa-
rately), make sure to connect the ground
wire first. Ensure that the ground wire is
properly connected to metal parts of the
car’s body. The ground wire of the power
amp and the one of this unit or any other
device must be connected to the car sepa-
rately with different screws. If the screw
for the ground wire loosens or falls out, it
could result in fire generation of smoke or
malfunction.

!To avoid short-circuiting, cover the discon-
nected lead with insulating tape. It is espe-
cially important to insulate all unused
speaker leads, which if left uncovered may
cause a short circuit.
!Attach the connectors of the same color to
the corresponding colored port, i.e., blue
connector to the blue port, black to black,
etc.
!Refer to the owner’s manual for details on
connecting the power amp and other units,
then make connections accordingly.
!Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed,
do not directly ground the *side of the
speaker lead or connect the *sides of the
speaker leads together. Be sure to connect
the *side of the speaker lead to the *
side of the speaker lead on this navigation
system.
!If the RCA pin jack on this product will not
be used, do not remove the caps attached
to the end of the connector.
Notice for the blue/white lead
!When the ignition switch is turned on (ACC
ON), a control signal is output through the
blue/white lead. Connect to an external
power amp’s system remote control term-
inal, the auto-antenna relay control term-
inal, or the antenna booster power control
terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). The con-
trol signal is output through the blue/white
lead, even if the audio source is switched
off.
!Be sure not to use this lead as the power
supply lead for the external power amps.
Such connection could cause excessive
current drain and malfunction.
!Be sure not to use this lead as the power
supply lead for the auto-antenna or anten-
na booster. Such connection could cause

Precautions before
installation
CAUTION
!Never install this product in places where,
or in a manner that:
—It could injure the driver or passengers
if the vehicle stops suddenly.
—It may interfere with the driver’s opera-
tion of the vehicle, such as on the floor
in front of the driver’s seat, or close to
the steering wheel or shift lever.
!Make sure there is nothing behind the
dashboard or paneling when drilling holes
in them. Be careful not to damage fuel
lines, brake lines, electronic components,
communication wires or power cables.
!When using screws, do not allow them to
come into contact with any electrical lead.
Vibration may damage wires or insulation,
leading to a short circuit or other damage
to the vehicle.
!To ensure proper installation, use the sup-
plied parts in the manner specified. If any
parts other than the supplied ones are
used, they may damage internal parts of
this product or they may work loose and
the product may become detached.
!It is extremely dangerous to allow the
cables to become wound around the steer-
ing column or shift lever. Be sure to install
this product, its cables, and wiring away
in such a way that they will not obstruct
or hinder driving.
!Make sure that leads cannot get caught in
a door or the sliding mechanism of a seat,
resulting in a short circuit.
!Please confirm the proper function of
your vehicle’s other equipment following
installation of the navigation system.
!Do not install this navigation system
where it may (i) obstruct the driver’s vi-
sion, (ii) impair the performance of any of
the vehicle’s operating systems or safety
features, including airbags, hazard lamp
buttons or (iii) impair the driver’s ability
to safely operate the vehicle.
!Install the navigation system between the
driver’s seat and front passenger seat so
that it will not be hit by the driver or pas-
senger if the vehicle stops quickly.
!Never install the navigation system in
front of or next to the place in the dash,
door, or pillar from which one of your vehi-
cle’s airbags would deploy. Please refer to
your vehicle’s owner’s manual for refer-
ence to the deployment area of the frontal
airbags.
To guard against
electromagnetic interference
In order to prevent interference, set the follow-
ing items as far as possible from this naviga-
tion system, other cables or leads:
!FM, AM antenna and its lead
!GPS antenna and its lead
In addition you should lay or route each anten-
na lead as far as possible from other antenna
leads. Do not bind them together, lay or route
them together, or cross them. Such electro-
magnetic noise will increase the potential for
errors in the location display.
Before installing
!Consult with your nearest dealer if installa-
tion requires the drilling of holes or other
modifications of the vehicle.
!Before making a final installation of this
product, temporarily connect the wiring to
confirm that the connections are correct
and the system works properly.
