Connecting the System AN caurion + Pioneer does not recommend that you install or service your DVD navigation unit yourself, Installing or servicing of the product may expose you to risk of electric shock or other hazards. Refer all installation and servicing of your navigation unit to authorised Pioneer service personnel. HSITONA 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 com- partment into the engine compartment. Take extra care in securing the wire at this point. It is extremely dangerous to allow the GPS aerial lead or microphone lead to become wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure to install the unit 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 gearstick, hand brake or seat sliding mechanism. À 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. Do not cut the GPS aerial lead to shorten it or use an extension to make it longer. Altering the aerial cable could result in a short circuit or malfunc- tion. Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work properly. Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the DVD navigation unit and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating. + 5 ENG/MASTER 96

• Places close to a heater outlet.

• Places exposed to direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard or the rear shelf. Places that may be splashed by rain, for example close to the door. The installation strength will depend on the vehicle model and the installation position. Choose a position where the main unit can be firmly installed, and install it securely. If the main unit is not securely fastened, the errors in location display will be greater. Do not install the main unit on the board covering the spare tyre or other places which are subject to vibration. When the main unit is installed under a front seat, ensure that it does not obstruct the sliding action of the seat. Do not install the main unit where it will be under luggage. Strong mechanical shock to the main unit would increase the errors in location display. Avoid installing the main unit in places where it will interfere with loading and unload- ing of the spare tyre, jack, tools, etc. Check that a disc or a PC card can be ejected with the main unit installed. Install the main unit on a surface within +30 degrees to -15 degrees tolerance (within five degrees to the left or right of your vehicle's direction of travel). A surface tilted more than this would increase the errors in location display. D Do not install the main unit vertically. Installing it this way can cause it to function improperly.
