Installing this navigation system

Installation notes

• Do not install this navigation system in places where it may become subject to high tem-
peratures or humidity, such as:
* Places close to a heater, vent or air conditioner.
* Places exposed to direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard.
* Places that may be splashed by rain, for example close to the door.
• Install this navigation system in an area strong enough to bear its weight. Choose a posi-
tion where this navigation system can be firmly installed, and install it securely.
If this navigation system is not securely installed, the current location of the vehicle can-
not be displayed correctly.
• Install the navigation unit horizontally on a surface within 0 degrees to 30 degrees toler-
ance. If the installation angles on the left and right sides exceed 5 degrees, the allowable
range can be increased to 10 degrees by making corrective adjustments. (Refer to
"Correcting the installation angle" in the Operation Manual.) If connection of the pink
lead (CAR SPEED SIGNAL INPUT) is omitted, the angles on the left and right sides
are allowable to within five degrees. Improper installation of the unit with the surface
tilted more than these tolerances increases the potential for errors in the location display,
and might otherwise cause reduced display performance.
If the angle exceeds five degrees,
please make corrective adjustments.
• The cords must not cover up the area shown in the figure below. This is necessary to
allow the amplifiers and navigation mechanism to dissipate heat freely.
Do not cover this area.
• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it overheats, so don't install the navigation
unit anywhere hot — for instance, near a heater outlet.
