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.
