Precautions

CAUTION

• This product is designed for professional installation only. We recommend that only authorized Pioneer service personnel, who have special training and experience in mobile electronics, set up and install this product. NEVER SERVICE THIS PRODUCT YOURSELF.

• The product constantly uses vehicle power, which puts a load on the vehicle battery. If not using the vehicle for a long period of time, or when using the vehicle for repeated short trips, power consumption from de-vices within the vehicle may cause the battery voltage to gradually drop, and may cause the battery to go dead. Ensure that the vehicle engine is periodically started to ensure that the battery voltage does not drop.

• If other devices installed in the vehicle also draw from the battery when the vehicle is off, the battery may go dead if the voltage cutoff on this product is set too high. Take care when setting voltage cutoff.

• Do not use with anything other than Pioneer Dash Camera.
  Check supported models at the Pioneer website.

• For safety precautions, also refer to the manual of the connected Dash Camera.

• Pioneer accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the vehicle battery losing voltage or dying.

Checking Connection and Mounting Parts

Before Installing the Product

Installation Precautions

• Use the included double-sided tape to securely affix the product to the vehicle.
• Recommended mounting locations are within the inside the kick panel or glove compartment.
• Mount on a flat, oil-free surface.
• Mounting on anything other than a flat surface may result in the product falling off. Additionally, there is a risk of malfunction.
• Mount in a location in which the product can be firmly secured. Ensure that you do not mount on places in the vehicle that are subject to strong vibration such as the spare wheel cover board or the cargo area in a hatchback.
• Mounting using other than the specified mounting methods may result in diminished performance. Ad-ditionally, there is a risk of malfunction.
• Do not mount in the following types of locations. Failure due to high temperatures may occur.
  • Locations subject to direct sunlight such as on the dashboard or the cargo area in a hatchback
  • Near the heater outlet
• Do not mount in locations that may be exposed to rain or liquids, such as near a door opening or cup holder.
• Do not mount in locations that tend to accumulate dust or dirt.
• Do not cover with carpet or other material.
• Mount in a location in which the cables are not subject to significant shocks.
• Avoid mounting this product in locations in which it may be kicked or have heavy loads placed upon it.

CAUTION

• If the fuse is blown, then replace it with a new standard glass tube fuse (diam. 5.2 mm/length 20 mm), and tighten the tip fully.
  Ensure that the fuse is replaced with one of the rated type and capacity (F 2 A L/250 V, F 500 mA L/250 V).

Connecting

Connection terminal connection and removal

• Connect the connection terminals securely. If the terminals do not go in smoothly, they may be reversed. Check the terminal orientation. Do not insert terminals with excessive force. Doing so may result in malfunction.

• When removing the connection terminals, hold the connector part to pull out. Pulling the cable may result in connector damage.
  Connection Precautions

• Be sure to disconnect the ⊖ terminal of the vehicle’s battery before connecting the power cable.

• To prevent fuming and damage to the product, be sure to first securely connect the black lead wire (Ground) of the product to the metal part of the vehicle body.

• Connect separate black lead wires (Ground) for products with high current consumption. When setting up connections all at once, there is a risk of fuming or damage to the product when screws loosen or come off completely.

• Always use the included parts as specified. There is a risk of product failure if other parts are used. WARNING

• When handling the cables, DO NOT run cables near the driver’s feet as they may interfere with the operation of the vehicle, potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
