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

2. Keep this manual handy for future reference.

3. Pay close attention to all warnings in this manual and follow the instructions carefully.

4. Never allow others to use the system until they have read and understood the operating instructions.

5. Do not install the display where it may (i) obstruct the driver’s vision, (ii) impair the performance of any of the vehicle’s operating systems or safety features, including airbags, or (iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely operate the vehicle.

6. As with any accessory in your vehicle’s interior, the display should not divert your attention from the safe operation of your vehicle. If you experience difficulty in operating the system or reading the display, please park safely before making adjustments.

7. Do not attempt to install or service your display by yourself. Installation or servicing of the display by persons without training and experience in electronic equipment and automotive accessories may be dangerous and could expose you to the risk of electric shock or other hazards.

8. When using the system, make sure you are firmly secured by your seat belt to ensure you do not accidentally hit your head on the screen during sudden braking or other incidents. If you are ever in an accident, your injuries can be considerably more severe if your seat belt is not properly buckled.

Using the Display Correctly

ENGLISH ESPAÑOL DEUTSCH FRANÇAIS

ITALIANO NEDERLANDS

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, thinner or either.

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.

Connecting the System

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.

Notes:

• 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 connecting 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 protection 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.

• 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 Installation manuals of both products and connect cords that have the same function.
