Important safeguards
WARNING
Pioneer does not recommend that you
install this product yourself. This product is
designed for professional installation only.
We recommend that only authorized
Pioneer service personnel, who have
special training and experience in mobile
electronics, set up and install this product.
NEVER SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.
Installing or servicing this product and its
connecting cables may expose you to the
risk of electric shock or other hazards, and
can cause damage to this product that is
not covered by warranty.
Precautions before
connecting the system
WARNING
Do not take any steps to tamper with or
disable the parking brake interlock system
which is in place for your protection.
Tampering with or disabling the parking
brake interlock system could result in
serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• Secure all wiring with cable clamps or
electrical tape. Do not allow any bare
wiring 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
compartment into the engine
compartment. If the yellow lead's
insulation tears as a result of contact with
metal parts, short-circuiting can occur,
resulting in considerable danger.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow cables
to become wound around the steering
column or shift lever. Be sure to install
this product, its cables, and wiring away
in such so that they will not obstruct or
hinder driving.
• Make sure that the cables and wires will
not interfere 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 vehicle's controls.
• 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 and permanent damage to
the product.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the
protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse
resistor or filter, etc.) may fail to work
properly.
• Never feed power to other electronic
products by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of this product 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
negative 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 before installation.
To prevent damage
WARNING
• When speaker output is used by 4
channels , use speakers over 50 W
(Maximum input power) and between 4
Ω to 8 Ω (impedance value). Do not use 1
Ω to 3 Ω speakers for this unit.
• The black cable is ground. When
installing this unit or power amp (sold
separately), 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 separately with different screws. If
the screw for the ground wire loosens or
falls out, it could result in fire generation
of smoke or malfunction.
