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.
! 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.
