Precautions before connecting the system

CAUTION

• If you decide to perform the installation yourself, and have special training and experience in the mobile electronics installations, 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 wiring 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 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 the cables to become wound around the steering 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 interfere with or become caught in any of the vehicle's moving parts, especially the steering wheel, gearstick, handbrake, 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 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 products 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 togethe can cause a fire and/or damage the products if their earths became detached.

Before installing this product

• This product is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative earthing. Check the battery voltage of your vehicle before installation.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the (-) battery cable before beginning installation.

To prevent damage

WARNING

• When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this product.

• When disconnecting a connector, pull the connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as you may pull it out of the connector.

• This product cannot be installed in a vehicle without ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch.

ACC position

No ACC position

• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. It is especially important to insulate all unused speaker leads, which if left uncovered may cause a short circuit.

• Attach the connectors of the same colour to the corresponding coloured port, i.e., blue connector to the blue port, black to black, etc.
  Refer to the owner's manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units, then make connections accordingly.

• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, do not directly earth the side of the speaker lead or connect the sides of the speaker leads together. Be sure to connect the side of the speaker lead to the side of the speaker lead on this navigation system.
• If the RCA pin jack on this product will not be used, do not remove the caps attached to the end of the connector.
• Never connect speakers with an output rating of less than 50 W channel or impedance outside of the 4 ohms to 8 ohms specifications to your navigation system. Connecting speakers with output and/or impedance values other than those noted here may result in the speakers catching fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.

Notice for the blue lead

• A signal is output through the blue lead to control the aerial of your vehicle. The timing varies depending on the setting. (For more detailed information on changing [Ant CTRL] mode, refer to "Operation Manual".)
• When [Ant CTRL] mode is set to [Radio], the vehicle's aerial can be stowed or turned off by following the instructions below.
