Warning

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fire or electric shock.

KEEP SMALL OBJECTS SUCH AS BOLTS OR
SCREWS OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.

Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swal­lowed, consult a physician immediately.

USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN
REPLACING FUSES.

Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.

USE ONLY IN CARS WITH A 12 VOLT NEGATIVE
GROUND.

(Check with your dealer if you are not sure.) Failure to
do so may result in fire, etc.

2

BEFORE WIRING, DISCONNECT THE CABLE FROM
THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL.

Failure to do so may result in electric shock or injury
due to electrical shorts.

DO NOT ALLOW CABLES TO BECOME EN­TANGLED IN SURROUNDING OBJECTS.

Arrange wiring and cables in compliance with the
manual to prevent obstructions when driving. Cables or
wiring that obstruct or hang up on places such as the
steering wheel, shift lever, brake pedals, etc. can be
extremely hazardous.

DO NOT SPLICE INTO ELECTRICAL CABLES.

Never cut away cable insulation to supply power to
other equipment. Doing so will exceed the current
carrying capacity of the wire and result in fire or electric
shock.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WHICH MIGHT
HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION, SUCH AS THE
STEERING WHEEL OR SHIFT LEVER.

Doing so may obstruct forward vision or hamper
movement etc. and results in serious accident.

DO NOT DAMAGE PIPE OR WIRING WHEN
DRILLING HOLES.

When drilling holes in the chassis for installation, take
precautions so as not to contact, damage or obstruct
pipes, fuel lines, tanks or electrical wiring. Failure to
take such precautions may result in fire.

DO NOT USE BOLTS OR NUTS IN THE BRAKE OR
STEERING SYSTEMS TO MAKE GROUND
CONNECTIONS.

Bolts or nuts used for the brake or steering systems (or
any other safety-related system), or tanks should
NEVER be used for installations or ground connections.
Using such parts could disable control of the vehicle
and cause fire etc.

DO NOT INSTALL THE MONITOR NEAR THE
PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG.

If the unit is not installed correctly the air bag may not
function correctly and when triggered the air bag may
cause the monitor to spring upwards causing an
accident and injuries.

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

Failure to make the proper connections may result in
fire or product damage.

DO NOT ALTER HARDWARE USED IN ANY
SAFETY-RELATED SYSTEMS DURING INSTALLA­TION

Never use hardware, utilized to mount critical
components in the steering and brake systems or fuel
tanks, to make wiring or ground connections. Failure to
take such precautions can result in serious damage
from fire or vehicle failure.

DO NOT BLOCK VENTS OR RADIATOR PANELS.

Doing so may cause heat to build up inside and may
result in fire.

Caution

Precautions

ARRANGE THE WIRING SO IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR
PINCHED BY A SHARP METAL EDGE.

Route the cables and wiring away from moving parts
(like the seat rails) or sharp or pointed edges. This will
prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If wiring
passes through a hole in metal, use a rubber grommet
to prevent the wire’s insulation from being cut by the
metal edge of the hole.

HAVE THE WIRING AND INSTALLATION DONE BY
EXPERTS.

The wiring and installation of this unit requires special
technical skill and experience. To ensure safety, always
contact the dealer where you purchased this product to
have the work done.

USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND INSTALL
THEM SECURELY.

Be sure to use only the specified accessory parts. Use
of other than designated parts may damage this unit
internally or may not securely install the unit in place.
This may cause parts to become loose resulting in
hazards or product failure.

DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS WITH HIGH
MOISTURE OR DUST.

Avoid installing the unit in locations with high incidence
of moisture or dust. Moisture or dust that penetrates into
this unit may result in product failure.

IMPORTANT

Please record the serial number of your unit in the
space provided on the back cover of Owner’s
Manual and keep it as a permanent record. The
serial number plate is located on the bottom of the
unit.

• For installation of the main unit, avoid areas with a
high incidence of dust or moisture. Installing the
unit in such locations may result in contamination
of the DVD ROM making it unreadable.

• Do not install the navigation system near a CD
player that may interfere with GPS signal
reception.

• The optimum locations for installing the GPS
antenna are:

– on the dashboard where no metal piece (such

as the defogger wire or antenna wire) is located
on the windshield.

– where no metal cover is located.

• Route the Speed Pulse Sensor cable away from
the audio cables in order to avoid picking up
noises.

• If your vehicle has no ACC power supply, add an SPST (Single-Pole, Single-Throw) switch (sold separately) and fuse
(sold separately).

• The diagram and the fuse amperage shown above are in systems where the NVE-N872A is used individually.

• If the switched power (ignition) lead of the NVE-N872A is connected directly to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle’s
battery, the NVE-N872A draws some current (several hundred milliamperes) even when its switch is placed in the OFF
position. In some cases, this is enough to discharge the battery.

3 Connect the power lead to this unit.

Insert until a click sound is heard.

4 Wrap electrical tape around end of leads not

used.

5 Connect the battery (–) terminal and turn the

ignition key to the ACC or ON position. Check
to see if operation can be performed properly.

(Is the power turned on? Is the illumination
turned on?)
You can check the language selection menu with
the monitor. (Refer to the Owner’s Manual for
details.) Go to step 6 after checking is completed.
