• This manual uses various pictorial displays
to show how to use this product safely and
to avoid harm to yourself and others and
damage to your property. Here is what these
pictorial displays mean. Understanding them is
important for reading this manual.

• Meaning of displays

Warning

This label is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important
operating instructions.
Failure to heed the instructions
will result in severe injury or
death.

Caution

This label is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important
operating instructions.
Failure to heed the instructions
can result in injury or material
damage.

Warning

DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER.

Doing so may result in an accident, fi re 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 fi re, etc.

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 fi re or
electric shock.

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

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

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, gear lever, brake pedals, etc. can
be extremely hazardous.

MAKE THE CORRECT CONNECTIONS.

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

Caution

USE SPECIFIED ACCESSORY PARTS AND
INSTALL THEM SECURELY.

Be sure to use only the specifi ed 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.

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.

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.
