IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
3
PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING YOUR MOBILE
NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND RETAIN THEM FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
1. Read this manual fully and carefully before installing your mobile navigation sys-
tem.
2. Keep this manual handy for future reference.
3. Pay close attention to all warnings in this manual and follow the instructions care-
fully.
4. This navigation system is intended solely as an aid to you in the operation of your
vehicle. It is not a substitute for your attentiveness, judgement and care while dri-
ving. Do not operate your navigation system if doing so will divert your attention
from the safe operation of your vehicle. Always observe safe driving rules and
follow all existing traffic regulations.
5. This navigation system may in certain circumstances display erroneous informa-
tion regarding 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 judgement in light
of actual driving conditions.

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.

• When the unit is installed in vehicles
that do not have an ACC (accessory)
position on the ignition (as shown in
Fig. 2), be sure to connect the red lead
of the unit to the terminal controlled by
the ignition switch ON/OFF position. If
you do not, the vehicle battery may be
drained.
• Disconnect the negative (–) terminal of
the battery to avoid the risk of a short
circuit.

CAR SPEED SIGNAL INPUT
The mobile navigation system is connected here to detect
the distance the vehicle travels. Always connect the
vehicle's speed detection circuit or the ND-PG1 speed
pulse generator, sold separately. Failure to make this

Note: The position of the speed detection circuit
depends on the vehicle model. For details,
consult the relevant documents from Pioneer.
When making connections for a model not listed
in those documents or for which connection to
the speed detection circuit is too difficult,
connect the separately sold ND-PG1 speed pulse
generator to the pink lead.
Note: The position of the parking brake switch
depends on the vehicle model. For details,
consult the vehicle owner's manual or dealer.
