■ This manual uses pictographs to show you how to use the product
safely and to alert you to potential dangers resulting from improper
connections and operations. The meanings of the pictographs are
explained below. It is important that you fully understand the meanings of the pictographs in order to use this manual and the system
properly.
Caution
This pictograph intends to alert you to the presence of
important operating instructions and installation instructions. Failure to heed the instructions may result in
injury or material damage.
Observe the following warnings when installing.
❑ Disconnect the lead from the negative (–) battery terminal before installation.
Wiring and installation with the negative (–) battery terminal connected may cause electrical shock and injury due to a short circuit.
Some cars equipped with the electrical safety system have specific
procedures of battery terminal disconnection.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE MAY LEAD TO THE
UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY SYSTEM
RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PERSONAL
INJURY OR DEATH.
❑ Never use safety-related components for installation,
grounding, and other such functions.
Do not use safety-related vehicle components (fuel tank, brake,
suspension, steering wheel, pedals, airbag, etc.) for wiring or fixing the product or its accessories.
❑ Installing the product on the air bag cover or in a location
where it interferes with airbag operation is prohibited.
❑ Check for piping, gasoline tank, electric wiring, and other
items before installing the product.
If you need to open a hole in the vehicle chassis to attach or wire
the product, first check where the wire harness, gasoline tank, and
electric wiring are located. Then open the hole from outside if possible.
❑ Never install the product in a location where it interferes
with your field of vision.
❑ Never have the power cord branched to supply other
equipment with power.
❑ After installation and wiring, you should check the normal operation of other electrical equipment.
The continuation of their using in abnormal conditions may cause
fire, electrical shock or a traffic accident.
❑ In the case of installation to an airbag-equipping car,
confirm warnings and cautions of the vehicle manufacturer before installation.
❑ Make sure the leads do not interfere with driving or getting in and out of the vehicle.
❑ Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short circuiting.
Caution
Observe the following cautions when using this
unit.
❑ Keep the sound volume at an appropriate level.
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of road and traffic
conditions while driving.
❑ This unit is designed for use exclusively in automobiles.
❑ Do not operate the unit for a prolonged period with the
engine turned off.
Operating the audio system for a long period of time with the
