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 units 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 theproduct 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.

NECTOR IS DESIGNED TO DETECT

tween 4 W to 8 W (impedance value). Do not
