be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from person’s body
(excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles).
–This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
–Alteration or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate the user’s
right to operate the equipment.

CAUTION
This product is evaluated in moderate and tropical climate condition under the Audio, video and
similar electronic apparatus - Safety requirements, IEC 60065.
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level—a level that lets the sound come
through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting your
sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving.
Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal”
can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
▶ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
– Set your volume control at a low setting.
– Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, without
distortion.
– Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it
there.
▶BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
– Do not turn up the volume so high that you can’t hear what’s around you.
– Use caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.
– Do not use headphones while operating a motorized vehicle; the use of
headphones may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

damage to the product, smoke, and overheating could result from contact with liquids.
• If liquid or foreign matter should get inside this product, park your vehicle in a safe place, turn the
ignition switch off (ACC OFF) immediately and consult your dealer or the nearest authorized Pioneer
Service Station. Do not use this product in this condition because doing so may result in a fire, electric
shock, or other failure.

Important safety information
English
- 5 -
Before using this product, be sure to read and fully understand the following safety
information:
• Do not operate this product, any applications, or the rear view camera option (if
purchased) 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. If you experience difficulty in operating this product, pull over, park your
vehicle in a safe location and apply the parking brake before making the necessary
adjustments.
• Never set the volume of this product so high that you cannot hear outside traffic and
emergency vehicles.
• To promote safety, certain functions are disabled unless the vehicle is stopped and the
parking brake is applied.
• Keep this manual handy as a reference for operating procedures and safety
information.
• Do not install this product where it may (i) obstruct the driver’s vision, (ii) impair the
performance of any of the vehicle’s operating systems or safety features, including air
bags or hazard lamp buttons or (iii) impair the driver’s ability to safely operate the
vehicle.
• Please remember to fasten your seat belt at all times while operating your vehicle. If
you are ever in an accident, your injuries can be considerably more severe if your seat
belt is not properly buckled.
• Never use headphones while driving.
• Rear visibility systems (backup cameras) are required in certain new vehicles sold in
the U.S. and Canada. U.S. regulations began according to a two year phase-in on May
1, 2016, and both the U.S. and Canada require that all such vehicles manufactured on
or after May 1, 2018 have rear visibility systems. Owners of vehicles equipped with
compliant rear visibility systems should not install or use this product in a way
that alters or disables that system's compliance with applicable regulations. If
you are unsure whether your vehicle has a rear visibility system subject to the U.S. or
Canadian regulations, please contact the vehicle manufacturer or dealer.
If your vehicle has a compliant backup camera that displays the backup view through
the factory receiver, do not use the Pioneer receiver unless it is connected to and
displays the same view as the factory backup camera. Connection to the factory
backup camera will require an adaptor, sold separately. Not all vehicles may be able to
connect. Please check with a qualified professional installer for installation options
specific to your vehicle.
Certain functions (such as viewing of video image and certain touch panel key
operations) offered by this product could be dangerous (possibly resulting in serious
injury or death) and/or unlawful if used while driving. To prevent such functions from
being used while the vehicle is in motion, there is an interlock system that senses when

vehicle in a safe place, and (1) apply the parking brake, (2) release the parking brake, and
then (3) apply the parking brake again. Please keep the brake pedal pushed down
before releasing the parking brake.
WARNING
• LIGHT GREEN LEAD AT POWER CONNECTOR IS DESIGNED TO DETECT PARKED STATUS AND
MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE POWER SUPPLY SIDE OF THE PARKING BRAKE SWITCH.
IMPROPER CONNECTION OR USE OF THIS LEAD MAY VIOLATE APPLICABLE LAW AND MAY
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE.

place for your protection. Tampering with or disabling the parking brake interlock system
could result in serious injury or death.
• To avoid the risk of damage and injury and the potential violation of applicable laws, this
product is not for use with a video image that is visible to the driver.
• In some countries the viewing of video image on a display inside a vehicle even by persons other
than the driver may be illegal. Where such regulations apply, they must be obeyed.
If you attempt to watch video image while driving, the warning “Viewing of front seat
video source while driving is strictly prohibited.” will appear on the screen. To watch
video image on this display, stop the vehicle in a safe place and apply the parking brake.
Please keep the brake pedal pushed down before releasing the parking brake.
The video output terminal (V OUT) is for connection of a display to enable passengers in
the rear seats to watch video images.
