Connecting The System - Pioneer AVIC-D3 Manuel D'installation

Connecting the System

• Pioneer does not recommend that you install your navigation system yourself. We
recommend that only authorised Pioneer service personnel, who have special train-
ing and experience in mobile electronics, set up and install this product. NEVER
SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF. Installing or servicing this product and
its connecting cables may expose you to the risk of electric shock or other hazards,
and can cause damage to the navigation system that is not covered by warranty.
• 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 eventually cause the
insulation to fail at the point where the wire passes from the passenger compart-
ment 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 considerable
danger.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow the GPS aerial cable or microphone cable to
become wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure to install this
product, its cables, and wiring away in such a way that they will not obstruct or
hinder driving.
• Make sure that the cables and wires are routed and secured so they will not inter-
fere 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 vehi-
cle's controls.
• Do not route wires where they will be exposed to high temperatures. If the insula-
tion heats up, wires may become damaged, resulting in a short circuit or malfunc-
tion 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 resister
or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.
• Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of the navigation system and tapping into the lead. The current
capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.
• The black lead is earth. Please earth this lead separately from the earth of high-
current products such as power amps. Do not earth more than one product togeth-
er with the earth from another product. For example, you must separately earth
any amplifier unit away from the earth of this navigation system. Connecting
earths together can cause a fire and/or damage the products if their earths became
detached.
