Do not use this product in this condition because doing so may result in a fire, electric shock, or other failure.
  • If you notice smoke, a strange noise or odor from this product, turn off the power immediately and consult your dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer Service Company. Using this product in this condition may result in permanent damage.
  • Do not disassemble or modify this product, as there are high-voltage components inside which may cause an electric shock. Be sure to consult your deal-er or the nearest authorized Pioneer Service Compa-ny for internal inspection, adjustments or repairs.

Before using this product, be sure to read and fully understand the following safety information:

  • Do not operate this product if doing so will divert your attention in any way from the safe operation of your vehicle. Always observe safe driving rules and follow all existing traffic regulations.
  • Keep this manual handy as a reference for operating procedures and safety information.
  • It is extremely dangerous to allow cables to become wound around the steering column or gearstick. Be sure to install this product, its cables, and wiring in such a way that they will not obstruct or hinder driving.
  • Make sure that the cable will not interfere with or be-come caught in any of the vehicle’s moving parts, espe-cially the steering wheel, gearstick, handbrake, sliding seat tracks, doors, or any of the vehicle’s controls.

Precautions before connecting the system

CAUTION

  •  Do not shorten any cables. If you do, the protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse resistor or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.
  •  Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the power supply cable of this product and tapping into the cable. The current capac-ity of the cable will be exceeded, causing overheating.

Precautions before installation

WARNING
Never install this product in places where, or in a manner that:

  •  Could injure the driver or passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.
  •  May interfere with the driver’s operation of the vehicle, such as on the floor in front of the driver’s seat, or close to the steering wheel or gearstick.
  •  Never use this product in front of or next to the place in the dashboard, door, or pillar from which one of your vehicle’s airbags would deploy. Please refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual for reference to the deployment area of the frontal airbags.

  •  Places close to a heater, vent or air conditioner.
  •  Places that may be exposed to rain.
  •  Close to the door or on the vehicle’s floor.

Precautions for cigarette lighter plug

WARNING

  •  When using a power supply in the vehicle, use the dedicated cigarette lighter plug.
    Using a plug other than the specified plug may result in fire, electric shock, or product failure.
  •  Unplug the cigarette plug after using the product and when the product will not be used for a long period of time. Depending on the vehicle, the cigarette socket may not be turned off even when the engine is turned off. For this reason, there is a risk of fire.
  •  Fully insert the cigarette lighter plug. Poor contact may occur due to vibrations while driving, resulting in an ex-tremely dangerous situation where the unit overheats.
  •  Regularly inspect and clean the cigarette lighter sock-et. Foreign material inside the cigarette lighter socket, such as ashes, may cause heat generation due to poor contact, resulting in fire or electric shock.

  •  Never move a credit card or other magnetic card, magnetic recording media, or another magnetized item near the charging area. Magnetic data may be deleted.
  •  Never place a watch or other precision device near the charging area. A failure may occur.
  •  Remove any cover or other item attached to the compatible device before charging with the wireless charger. Normal charging may not be possible and fire, burn, or injury may occur due to the material or thickness of the cover or other item, or due to dirt or other foreign material trapped between the compatible device and cover.
  •  Do not place this product in direct sunlight for an extended amount of time, or where it could be exposed to extreme temperatures. Store out of direct sunlight when not in use.
