Connecting the units

WARNING
! To avoid the risk of accident and the potential
violation of applicable laws, no viewing of
front seat video should ever occur while the
vehicle is being driven. Also, rear displays
should not be in a location where they are visi-
bly distracting to the driver.
! In some countries or states the viewing of
images on a display inside a vehicle even by
persons other than the driver may be illegal.
Where such regulations apply, they must be
obeyed and this unit's DVD features should
not be used.
CAUTION
! PIONEER does not recommend that you in-
stall or service your display unit yourself. In-
stalling or servicing the product may expose
you to risk of electric shock or other hazards.
Refer all installation and servicing of your dis-
play unit to authorized Pioneer service person-
nel.
! Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electri-
cal tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to re-
main exposed.
! Do not drill a hole into the engine compart-
ment to connect the yellow cable of the dis-
play unit to the vehicle 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. Take extra care in securing the
wire at this point.
! It is extremely dangerous to allow the micro-
phone lead to become wound around the
steering column or shift lever. Be sure to in-
stall the unit in such a way that it will not ob-
struct driving.
! Make sure that cables will not interfere with
moving parts of the vehicle, such as the shift
lever, parking brake or seat sliding mechan-
ism.
! Do not shorten any cables. If you do, the pro-
tection circuit may fail to work properly.
WARNING
! LIGHT GREEN LEAD AT POWER CON-
NECTOR IS DESIGNED TO DETECT
PARKED STATUS AND MUST BE CON-
NECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY SIDE
OF THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH. IM-
PROPER CONNECTION OR USE OF
THIS LEAD MAY VIOLATE APPLICABLE
LAW AND MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS IN-
JURY OR DAMAGE.
Important
! This unit cannot be installed in a vehicle with-
out ACC (accessory) position on the ignition
switch.

! Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and nega-
tive grounding only. Failure to do so may result

! To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or mal-
function, be sure to follow the directions
below.
— Disconnect the negative terminal of the
battery before installation.
— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or ad-
hesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around
wiring that comes into contact with metal
parts to protect the wiring.
— Place all cables away from moving parts,
such as the shift lever and seat rails.
— Place all cables away from hot places,
such as near the heater outlet.
— Do not connect the yellow cable to the bat-
tery by passing it through the hole to the
engine compartment.
