Important safeguards

WARNING
Pioneer does not recommend that you install this product yourself. This product is designed
for professional installation only. We recommend that only authorised Pioneer service
personnel, who have special training and experience in mobile electronics, set up and
install this product. NEVER SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF. Installing or servicing this
product and its connecting cables may expose you to the risk of electric shock or other
hazards, and can cause damage to this product that is not covered by warranty.
Precautions before
connecting the system
WARNING
Do not take any steps to tamper with or disable the handbrake interlock system which is in
place for your protection. Tampering with or disabling the handbrake interlock system
could result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION
• 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 cables
to become wound around the steering
column or gearstick. Be sure to install this
product, its cables, and wiring away in
such so that they will not obstruct or
hinder driving.
• Make sure that the cables and wires 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 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 this product and
tapping into the lead. The current
capacity of the lead will be exceeded,
causing overheating.
Before installing this
product
• Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and
negative earthing only. Failure to do so
may result in a fire or malfunction.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system,
be sure to disconnect the (–) battery
cable before installation.

To prevent damage

WARNING
• Use speakers over 50 W (maximum input
power) and between 4 Ω to 8 Ω
(impedance value). Do not use 1 Ω to 3 Ω
speakers for this product.
• The black lead is earth. When installing
this unit or power amp (sold separately),
make sure to connect the earth wire first.
Ensure that the earth wire is properly
connected to metal parts of the car's
body. The earth wire of the power amp
and the one of this unit or any other
device must be connected to the car
separately with different screws. If the
screw for the earth wire loosens or falls
out, it could result in fire generation of
smoke or malfunction.
