ENGLISH ESPAÑOL DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS ITALIANO NEDERLANDS
6. As with any accessory in your vehicle’s interior, the navigation system should not
divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. If you experience
difficulty in operating the system or reading the display, please make adjustments
while safely parked.
7. Do not attempt to install or service your mobile navigation unit by yourself.
Installation or servicing of the Mobile Navigation Unit by persons without train-
ing and experience in electronic equipment and automotive accessories may be
dangerous and could expose you to the risk of electric shock or other hazards.
8. Please remember to wear your seat belt at all times while operating your vehicle.
If you are ever in an accident, your injuries can be considerably more severe if
your seat belt is not properly fastened.

Connecting the System
CAUTION
• Pioneer does not recommend that you install or service your navigation unit
yourself. Installing or servicing of the product may expose you to risk of elec-
tric shock or other hazards. Refer all installation and servicing of your navi-
gation unit to authorised Pioneer service personnel.
• Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electrical tape. Do not allow any bare
wiring to remain exposed.
• Do not drill a hole into the engine compartment to connect the orange lead of
the unit to the vehicle 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. Take extra care in securing the wire
at this point.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow the GPS antenna lead or microphone lead
to become wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure to install
the unit in such a way that it will not obstruct driving.
• Make sure that wires will not interfere with moving parts of the vehicle, such
as the gearstick, hand brake or seat sliding mechanism.
• Do not route wires where they will be exposed to high temperatures. If the
insulation heats up, wires may become damaged, resulting in a short circuit
or malfunction.
• Do not cut the GPS antenna lead to shorten it or use an extension to make it
longer. Altering the antenna cable could result in a short circuit or malfunc-
tion.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work
properly.
• Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of the navigation unit and tapping into the lead. The cur-
rent capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

Before installing the unit
• This unit is designed for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before
installing the system (especially in a recreational vehicle, lorry, or bus), check the bat-
tery voltage.
To prevent damage
• When disconnecting a connector, pull the connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as you
may pull it out of the connector.

CAUTION
•Pioneer does not recommend that you install or service your navigation unit
yourself. Installing or servicing the product may expose you to risk of elec-
tric shock or other hazards. Refer all installation and servicing of your navi-
gation unit to authorised Pioneer service personnel.
•Never install the unit in places where:
* It could injure the driver or passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.
* It may interfere with the driver’s operation of the vehicle, such as on the
floor in front of the driver’s seat.
•Make sure there is nothing behind the dashboard or panelling when drilling
holes in them. Be careful not to damage fuel lines, brake lines or power
cables.
•When using screws, do not allow them to come into contact with any electri-
cal lead. Vibration may damage wires, leading to a short circuit or other
damage to the vehicle.
•To ensure proper installation, use the supplied parts in the manner specified.
If any parts other than the supplied ones are used, they may damage internal
parts of the unit or they may work loose and the unit may become detached.

CAUTION
•It is extremely dangerous to allow the GPS antenna lead or microphone lead
to become wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure to install
the unit in such a way that it will not obstruct 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 follow-
ing installation of the navigation unit.
To guard against electromagnetic interference
•To keep electromagnetic noise out of the mobile navigation system, do not install the
main unit or GPS antenna near the vehicle stereo FM/MW/LW antenna or the
FM/MW/LW antenna cord. Such electromagnetic noise would increase the error for the
location display.

Installing the main unit
Installation notes
•Do not install the main unit in places where it may become subject to high temperatures
or humidity, such as:
* Places close to a heater outlet.
* Places exposed to direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard or the rear shelf.
•Places that may be splashed by rain, for example close to the door.
•The installation strength will depend on the vehicle model and the installation position.
Choose a position where the main unit can be firmly installed, and install it securely.
If the main unit is not securely fastened, the errors in location display will be greater.
•Do not install the main unit on the board covering the spare tyre or other places which
are subject to vibration.
•When the main unit is installed under a front seat, ensure that it does not obstruct the
sliding action of the seat.
•Do not install the main unit where it will be under luggage. Strong mechanical shock to
the main unit would increase the errors in location display.
•Avoid installing the main unit in places where it will interfere with loading and unload-
ing of the spare tyre, jack, tools, etc.
•Check that a CD-ROM can be ejected with the main unit installed.
•If you use the mobile navigation system out of areas where PIONEER is permitted, your
position is not shown properly.

CAUTION
•Do not cut the GPS antenna lead to shorten it or use an extension to make it
longer. Altering the antenna cable could result in a short circuit.
Installation notes
•When installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, be sure to use the metal sheet pro-
vided with your system. If this is not used, the reception sensitivity will be poor.
•Do not cut the accessory metal sheet. This would reduce the sensitivity of the GPS
antenna.
•Take care not to pull the antenna lead when removing the GPS antenna. The magnet
attached to the antenna is very powerful, and the lead may become detached.
•The GPS antenna is installed with a magnet. When installing the GPS antenna, be care-
ful not to scratch the vehicle body.
•When installing the GPS antenna on the outside of the vehicle, always put it in the vehi-
cle when going through an automatic vehicle wash. If it is left on the outside it may be
knocked off and scratch the vehicle body.
•Do not paint the GPS antenna, as this may affect its performance.
