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.

!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.

WARNING

!Use speakers over 50 W (output value) and be- tween 4 W to 8 W (impedance value). Do not use 1 W to 3 W speakers for this unit.

!The black cable is ground. When installing this unit or power amp (sold separately), make sure to connect the ground wire first. Make sure that the ground cable is properly con- nected to metal parts of the car body using a spade terminal sold commercially. The ground 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 ground wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire, generation of smoke or malfunction.
