When the inside of the car is very cold and the player is used soon after switching on the heater, moisture may form on the disc (DVD/CD) or the optical parts of the player and proper playback may not be possible. If moisture forms on the disc (DVD/CD), wipe it off with a soft cloth. If moisture forms on the optical parts of the player, do not use the player for about one hour. The condensation will disappear naturally allowing normal operation.
  2. Driving on extremely bumpy roads which cause severe vibration may cause the sound to skip.
  3. This unit uses a precision mechanism. Even in the event that trouble arises, never open the case, disassemble the unit, or lubricate the rotating parts.

Installation Notes

CLARION NX603 - Installation Notes - 1

WARNING

  • Please note the position of pipes, tanks and electrical wirings before installing the unit into the vehicle; failure in avoiding these may cause a fire or malfunction.

CLARION NX603 - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

  • Use only the supplied parts. If unspecified parts are used, they may cause damage.
  • Any holes made in the body of the vehicle should be sealed with a silicon adhesive.
    If exhaust fumes or water penetrates into the vehicle, this may cause an accident.
  • Fasten the bolts securely when installing the unit. If the bolts are loose an accident or malfunction could occur.

Connection Notes

CLARION NX603 - Connection Notes - 1

WARNING

  • Loom all cables according to the instruction manual, so as not to hinder operation.
  • Wire the connecting cords/cables away from high temperature areas. If the coatings of the cables melt, it could cause an accident/fire by a short circuit.
    Take care when wiring in the engine compartment.
  • When wiring the connecting cables in a vehicle with an airbag system, never feed the cables through a place where it may affect the operation of the airbag.
    An airbag not operating correctly in an emergency may cause increased injury.

CLARION NX603 - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

  • Verify wires with a digital multi-meter prior to making any connections. Many new vehicles use multiplexed and/or low voltage circuits that can be damaged if a test light or logic probe is used.
  • Connect cables appropriately. If a wrong connection is made, this may cause a fire or accident.
  • When passing cables through the body of the vehicle, use non-conductive grommets. If the coatings of the cables are worn out by rubbing, this may cause an accident, fire or a short circuit.
    • After wiring cables, fix them with insulation tape.
  • Be sure to switch off the vehicle when connecting or disconnecting cables to/from the unit, otherwise an electric shock, injury or accident may occur.

6. REMOVING THE MAIN UNIT

When the main unit is to be removed, disassemble it in the reverse of the order in "INSTALLING THE MAIN UNIT".→ P.12

7. CAUTIONS ON WIRING

  • Be sure to turn the power off before wiring.
    Be particularly careful where you route the wires.
  • Keep them well away from the engine, and exhaust pipe, etc. Heat may damage the wires.
  • If the fuse should blow, check to see if the wiring is correct.
    If a fuse is blown, replace it with a new one of the same specification as the original.
    ● To replace the fuse, remove the old fuse of the power supply cable and insert the new one. (Figure 5)

Fuse (15A FUSE) Fuse holder Figure 5

● There are various types of fuse holder. Do not let the battery side touch other metal parts.

CAUTION

• After connecting the HDMI and USB cables to the unit, use a cable tie to tie them down. (Figure 6)

8. INSTALLING THE GPS ANTENNA (NX603 ONLY)

WARNING

  • Do not install the GPS antenna in a place where it may interfere with the operation of the airbag or hinder the driver's visual range.
  • Do not use the navigation system with the GPS antenna cable cut off. The power in the cable may be short-circuited.

● The supplied GPS antenna is for installing inside the vehicle. Do not install it outside the vehicle.
● Install the GPS antenna more than 19.7in (50 cm) away from the main unit, other audio devices such as CD player, and a radar detector. If it is installed near these devices, GPS reception may be impaired.
● To improve the GPS signal reception, install the GPS antenna horizontally on a flat plane.
- Do not wax or paint the cover of the GPS antenna. This may reduce the performance of the GPS antenna.
● Install the GPS antenna at least 3.9in (10 cm) away from the windshield.
● Wipe off the dirt of the mounting surface before installing the GPS antenna.
● Stick the double-sided tape to the bottom face of the GPS antenna.

Double-sided tape Bottom face of the GPS antenna

● Mount the GPS antenna.

Stick it surely on a flat plane of the passenger-side dashboard where GPS signal interruption is minimized.

● Wire the GPS antenna cable.

Fasten the cable using the Cable holders.
