Precautions
Your new product and this
manual
• Do not operate this product, any
applications, or the rear view camera
option (if purchased) if doing so will
divert your attention in any way from the
safe operation of your vehicle. Always
observe safe driving rules and follow all
existing traffic regulations. If you
experience difficulty in operating this
product or reading the display, park your
vehicle in a safe location and apply the
parking brake before making the
necessary adjustments.
• Do not install this product where it may
(i) obstruct the driver’s vision,
(ii) impair the performance of any of the
vehicle’s operating systems of safety
features, including airbags, hazard lamp
buttons, or
(iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely
operate the vehicle.
In some cases, it may not be possible to
install this product because of the vehicle
type or the shape of the vehicle interior.
Important safeguards
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
2
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
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.
• Secure all wiring with cable clamps or
electrical tape. Do not allow any bare
wiring to remain exposed.
• Do not directly connec t the yellow lead of
this product to the vehicl e 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 inter fere 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
pr
oduct
• 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
• 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.
• When rear speaker output is used by 2 Ω
of subwoofer, use speakers over 70 W
(Maximum input power).
*Please refer to connection for a
connection method.
• 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.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to only
use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this
product.
• This product cannot be installed in a
vehicle without ACC (accessory) position
on the ignition switch.
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the
disconnected lead with insulating tape. I t
is especially important to insulate all
unused speaker leads, which if left
uncovered may cause a short circuit.
• For connecting a power amp or other
devices to this product, refer to the
manual for the product to be connected.
• The graphical symbol placed on
the product means direct current.
Notice for the blue/
white lead
• When the ignition switch is turned on
(ACC ON), a control signal is output
through the blue/white lead. Connect to
an external power amp’s system remote
control terminal, the auto-antenna relay
control terminal, or the antenna booster
power control terminal (max. 300 mA 12
V DC). The control signal is output
through the blue/white lead, even if the
audio source is switched off.
