vigation system in your vehicle. Operation
of this navigation system is explained in
the separate manuals for the navigation

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

PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE
INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING
YOUR NAVIGATION SYSTEM
AND RETAIN THEM FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE

1 Read this manual fully and carefully before in-

stalling your navigation system.
2 Keep this manual handy for future reference.
3 Pay close attention to all warnings in this

manual and follow the instructions carefully.
4 This navigation system may in certain circum-

stances display erroneous information regard-

ing the position of your vehicle, the distance

of objects shown on the screen, and compass

directions. In addition, the system has certain

limitations, including the inability to identify

one-way streets, temporary traffic restrictions

and potentially unsafe driving areas. Please

exercise your own judgement in the light of

actual driving conditions.
5 As with any accessory in your vehicle’s inter-

ior, the navigation system should not divert

SAFEGUARDS

6 Please remember to wear your seat belt at all

times while operating your vehicle. If you are
ever in an accident, your injuries can be con­siderably more severe if your seat belt is not
properly fastened.

7 Certain country and government laws may

prohibit or restrict the placement and use of
this system in your vehicle. Please comply
with all applicable laws and regulations re­garding the use, installation and operation of
your navigation system.

Precautions before
connecting the system

CAUTION

! If you decide to perform the installation

yourself, and have special training and ex-

perience in the mobile electronics instal-

lations, please carefully follow all of the

steps in the installation manual.
! Secure all wiring with cable clamps or

electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wir-

ing 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 com-

partment into the engine compartment. If

the yellow lead’s insulation tears as a re-

sult of contact with metal parts, short-cir-

cuiting can occur, resulting in

considerable danger.
! It is extremely dangerous to allow the

cables to become wound around the steer-

ing column or gearstick. Be sure to install

this product, its cables, and wiring away

in such a way that they will not obstruct

or hinder driving.
! Make sure that the cables and wires are

routed and secured so they will not inter-

fere with or become caught in any of the

vehicle’s moving parts, especially the

steering wheel, gearstick, handbrake, slid-

ing seat tracks, doors, or any of the vehi-

cle’s controls.
! Do not route wires where they will be ex-

posed to high temperatures. If the insula-

tion heats up, wires may become

damaged, resulting in a short circuit or

malfunction and permanent damage to

the product.

IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS

Connecting the system

! Do not cut the GPS aerial cable to shorten

it or use an extension to make it longer.
Altering the aerial cable could result in a
short circuit or malfunction.

! 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 pro-

ducts by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of the navigation sys­tem and tapping into the lead. The current
capacity of the lead will be exceeded,
causing overheating.

! The black lead is earth. Please earth this

lead separately from the earth of high-cur­rent products such as power amps. Do not
earth more than one product together
with the earth from another product. For
example, you must separately earth any
amp unit away from the earth of this navi­gation system. Connecting earths to­gether can cause a fire and/or damage the
products if their earths became
detached.

Before installing this product

! Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and ne-

gative earthing 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 be-

fore beginning installation.

To prevent damage

! When disconnecting a connector, pull the

connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as

you may pull it out of the connector.
! Attach the connectors of the same colour

to the corresponding coloured port, i.e.,

blue connector to the blue port, black to

black, etc.
