Precautions before
connecting the system
CAUTION
! If you decide to perform the installation
yourself, and have special training and ex-
perience in the mobile electronics instal-
lations, 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 wir-
ing 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 com-
partment into the engine compartment. If
the yellow lead's insulation tears as a re-
sult of contact with metal parts, short-cir-
cuiting can occur, resulting in
considerable danger.
! It is extremely dangerous to allow cables
to become wound around the steering col-
umn or gearstick. Be sure to install this
product, its cables, and wiring away in
such so that they will not obstruct or hin-
der driving.
! Make sure that the cables and wires will
not interfere with or become caught in
any of the vehicle's moving parts, espe-
cially the steering wheel, gearstick, hand-
brake, sliding seat tracks, doors, or any of
the vehicle's controls.
! Do not route wires where they will be ex-
posed to high temperatures. If the insula-
tion 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 resis-
tor or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.
! Never feed power to other electronic pro-
ducts by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of the navigation sys-
tem 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 ne-
gative 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 be-
fore installation.
