ITALIANO NEDERLANDS

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.
One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and,
most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of
sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:

• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distor-

tion.

Once you have established a comfortable sound level:

• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all,

we want you listening for a lifetime.

We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid pro­longed exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

Decibel
Level Example

30 Quiet library, soft whispers
40 Living room, refrigerator, bedroom away from traffic
50 Light traffic, normal conversation, quiet office
60 Air conditioner at 20 feet, sewing machine
70 Vacuum cleaner, hair dryer, noisy restaurant
80 Average city traffic, garbage disposals, alarm clock at two feet.

THE FOLLOWING NOISES CAN BE DANGEROUS UNDER CONSTANT EXPOSURE

90 Subway, motorcycle, truck traffic, lawn mower
100 Garbage truck, chain saw, pneumatic drill
120 Rock band concert in front of speakers, thunderclap
140 Gunshot blast, jet plane
180 Rocket launching pad

To Avoid Battery Exhaustion

Always run the vehicle engine while using this unit. Using this unit without running the
engine can result in battery drainage.

To Protect the LCD Screen of the Display

• Do not allow direct sunlight to fall on the Display when this unit is not being used.
Extended exposure to direct sunlight can result in LCD screen malfunction due to the
resulting high temperatures.

• When using a portable phone, keep the antenna of the portable phone away from the
Display to prevent disruption of the video by the appearance of spots, colored stripes,
etc.

• Never touch the screen with anything besides your finger when operating the Touch
Panel functions. The screen can scratch easily.

When Viewing is Difficult, use [BRIGHTNESS] and [DIMMER] to Adjust

Due to its construction, the view angle of the LCD screen is limited. The viewing angle
(vertical and horizontal) can be increased, however, by using [BRIGHTNESS] to adjust
the black density of the video. When using for the first time, adjust the black density in
accordance with the viewing angle (vertical and horizontal) to adjust for clear viewing.
[DIMMER] can also be used to adjust the brightness of the LCD screen itself to suit your
personal preference.

About the RCA Video and Audio Outputs of this Unit

When you connect a separate piece of AV equipment such as a rear display to the RCA
video and audio output jacks of the hide-away unit, you can select either showing naviga­tion images on the rear display or the images of each source.

• Volume control buttons will have no effect even if operated.

CAUTION

Never position the display connected to the RCA output jack of the hide­away unit so that the driver can view the picture while the vehicle is moving.

shock or other failure.

• If you notice smoke, a strange noise or smell, or any other abnormal signs
from the display, turn OFF the power immediately and consult your dealer
or the nearest authorized PIONEER service facility. Using the unit in this
condition may result in failure of the system.

• Do not remove the rear cover of the display, as there are high-voltage com­ponents inside which may cause an electric shock. Be sure to consult your
dealer or the nearest authorized PIONEER service facility for internal
inspection, adjustments or repairs.

Handling the Display

• When the display is not being used, never leave it under the direct sunlight or in extreme

temperatures.

• The display should be used within the temperature ranges shown below.

Operating temperature range: –10 to +50 °C [+14 to 122°F]
Storage temperature range: –20 to +80 °C [–4 to 176°F]
At temperatures higher or lower than the operating temperature range, the display may
not operate normally.

• The LCD screen of this product is exposed to improve view ability in the vehicle. Do not

push the LCD screen strongly. This could break it.

• Never touch the screen with anything besides your finger when operating the Touch Panel

functions. The screen can scratch easily.

About the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) Screen

• If the display is near the vent of an air conditioner when it is deployed, make sure that
air from the air conditioner is not blowing on it. Heat from the heater may break the
LCD screen, and cool air from the cooler may cause moisture to form inside the display
resulting in possible damage. Also, if the display is cooled down by the cooler, the
screen may become dark, or the life span of the small fluorescent tube used inside the
display may be shortened.

• Small black dots or white dots (bright dots) may appear on the LCD screen. These are
due to the characteristics of the LCD screen and do not indicate a problem with the dis­play.

• At low temperatures, the LCD screen may be dark for a while after the power is turned
ON.

• The LCD screen will be difficult to see if it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Keeping the Display in Good Condition

• When removing dust from the screen or cleaning the display, first turn the system power
OFF, then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

• When wiping the screen, take care not to scratch the surface. Do not use harsh or abra­sive chemical cleaners.

• Do not use a wet cloth for cleaning. Do not use organic solvents, such as benzine and
thinner.

About the Small Fluorescent Tube

• A small fluorescent tube is used inside the display to illuminate the LCD screen.
* The fluorescent tube is an expendable part and has a limited service life.
* The fluorescent tube should last for approximately 10,000 hours, depending on oper-

ating conditions. (Using the display at low temperatures reduces the service life of the
fluorescent tube.)

* When the fluorescent tube reaches the end of its useful life, the screen will be dark

and the image will no longer be projected. If this happens, consult your dealer or the
nearest authorized PIONEER service facility.

Using the Display Correctly

CAUTION

• PIONEER does not recommend that you install or service your display your­self. Installing or servicing the product may expose you to risk of electric
shock or other hazards. Refer all installation and servicing of your display to
authorized 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 yellow 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 com­partment into the engine compartment. Take extra care in securing the wire
at this point.

• It is extremely dangerous to allow the display lead to become wound around
the steering column or gearshift. Be sure to install the display 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 gearshift, parking brake or seat sliding mechanism.

• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work
properly.

Connecting the System

Note:

• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery

and negative grounding. Before installing it in a
recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the bat­tery voltage.

• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure

to disconnect the ≠ battery cable before begin­ning installation.

• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con-

necting other units, then make connections cor­rectly.

• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive

tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape
around them where they lie against metal parts.

• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch

any moving parts, such as the gear shift, hand­brake and seat rails. Do not route wiring in
places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet.
If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn,
there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to
the vehicle body.

• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into

the engine compartment to connect to the battery.
This will damage the lead insulation and cause a
very dangerous short.

• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protec-

tion circuit may fail to work when it should.

• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting

the insulation of the power supply lead of the
unit and tapping into the lead. The current capac­ity of the lead will be exceeded, causing over­heating.

• When replacing a fuse, be sure to use only fuses

of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.

• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not
have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition
switch, the red lead of the unit should be con­nected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch
ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehi­cle battery may be drained when you are away
from the vehicle for several hours.

CAUTION

• Cords for this product and those for
other products may be different colors
even if they have the same function.
When connecting this product to
another product, refer to the supplied
manuals of both products and connect
cords that have the same function.
