■ Protecting the monitor

- To protect the monitor from damage, do not operate the monitor using a ball point pen or similar tool with a sharp tip.

Cleaning the unit

- If the faceplate of this unit is stained, wipe it with a dry soft cloth such as a silicon cloth. If the faceplate is stained badly, wipe it with a cloth moistened with neutral cleaner, then wipe it again with a clean soft dry cloth.

NOTE

- Applying spray cleaner directly to the unit may damage its mechanical parts. Wiping the faceplate with a hard cloth or using a volatile liquid such as thinner or alcohol may scratch the surface or erase the screened print.

Acquiring GPS signal

The first time you turn on this unit, you must wait while the system acquires satellite signals for the first time. This process could take up to several minutes. Make sure your vehicle is outdoors in an open area away from tall buildings and trees for fastest acquisition.

After the system acquires satellites for the first time, it will acquire satellites quickly each time thereafter.

■ Caution for Smartphone Users

Connection/Installation

This section is for the professional installer. For safety's sake, leave wiring and mounting to professionals. Consult the car audio dealer.

Before Installation

Before installation of this unit, please note the following precautions.

WARNINGS

  • If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power source running through the fuse box.
  • Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow). The power supply must be connected to the wires via the fuse.

CAUTION

• Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. Do not touch the metal part of this unit during and shortly after the use of the unit. Metal part such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.

NOTE

  • Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For best safety, leave the mounting and wiring work to professionals.
  • Do not install the unit if it becomes an obstacle to driver performance.
  • Adjust the panel position not to become an obstacle to driver performance.
  • Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.
  • Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.
  • Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

  • If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position, connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power source with a constant voltage supply, such as with battery wires, the battery may be drained.

  • If the console has a lid, the lid will not be closed even when the unit is installed correctly.
  • If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.
    • Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
  • Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you share the wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.
  • When only two speakers are being connected to the system, connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect the connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do not connect the connector to a rear output terminal.
    • After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
  • Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.
  • This unit has the cooling fan to decrease the internal temperature. Do not mount the unit in a place where the cooling fan of the unit is blocked. Blocking these openings will inhibit the cooling of the internal temperature and result in malfunction.
  • Do not press hard on the panel surface when installing the unit to the vehicle. Otherwise scars, damage, or failure may result.
  • Reception may drop if there are metal objects near the Bluetooth/Wi-Fi antenna.

● Forward and Lateral Fields of Vision

- To determine driver's forward and lateral fields of vision under normal conditions, place a pole (directly visible from the front or visible through the car rear-view mirror) as shown.

GPS antenna

GPS antenna is installed inside of the car. It should be installed as horizontally as possible to allow easy reception of the GPS satellite signals. To mount the GPS antenna inside your vehicle:

  1. Clean your dashboard or other surface.
  2. Remove the separator of the GPS antenna (accessory ⑤ ), and fix the antenna to the dashboard or other surface.

Diagram showing a medical device labeled with number 5 and an inset view of the device's internal structure.

NOTE

  • Use the supplied GPS antenna. Using the GPS antenna other than the supplied one may cause a drop in positioning accuracy.
  • Depending on the type of car, reception of the GPS satellite signals might not be possible with an inside installation.
  • Please install the supplied GPS antenna in an area away from any antennas that are used with CB radios or satellite televisions.
  • The supplied GPS antenna should be installed at a position that is spaced at least 30 cm from mobile phone or other transmitting antennas. Signals from the GPS satellite may be interfered with by these types of communication.
  • Painting the supplied GPS antenna with (metallic) paint may cause a drop in performance.
