Precautions before
connecting the system
CAUTION
•
If you decide to perform the installation
yourself, and have special training and
experience in the mobile electronics
installations, 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
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 eventu-
ally 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 con-
siderable 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 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
resistor or fi lter, 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 neg-
•
ative 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.
