Introduction  
Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your  
musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your  
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Elec-  
tronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. One that  
lets the sound come through loud and clear 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.  
To establish a safe level:  
• Start your volume control at a low setting.  
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.  
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:  
• Set the dial and leave it there.  
Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After  
all, we want you listening for a lifetime.  
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime  
Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since  
hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the  
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged  
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

How to Use Remote Control and Names of Parts  
Preparing the Remote Control  
Some navigation operations can be performed  
with the Steering Remote Control provided.  
Prior to using the remote control, refer to the fol-  
lowing to install the battery.  
• Do not recharge, disassemble, heat or dis-  
pose of the battery in fire.  
• Use a CR2032 (3V) lithium battery only.  
Never use other types of battery with this  
unit.  
• Do not handle the battery with metallic  
tools.  
• Do not store the lithium battery with  
metallic materials.  
Inserting the battery for the  
Remote Control  
The CR2032 (3V) lithium battery is used with the  
remote control.  
• When disposing of used batteries, please  
comply with governmental regulations or  
environmental public institution’s rules  
that apply in your country/area.  
• Always check carefully that you are load-  
ing the battery with its (+) and (–) poles  
facing in the proper directions.  
• Remove the battery if remote control is not  
to be used for a month or longer.  
• In the event of battery leakage, wipe the  
remote control completely clean and  
install a new battery.  
Steering Remote  
When using the remote control for the first  
time:  
Pull out the film in between the cover and the  
remote contol.  
When replacing the battery with a new one:  
Remove the cover on the back of the remote con-  
trol and insert the lithium battery with the posi-  
tive side (+) up. When changing the battery, use  
a probe with a fine non-metallic tip to remove the  
lithium battery.  
• Keep the lithium battery out of reach of  
children. Should the battery be swallowed,  
immediately consult a doctor.

loading slot.  
Do not try to use discs other than a disc  
designed for this system. Please use only the  
disc specified by Pioneer.  
• Do not remove the PC card while the PC  
card lock lamp is red. It may damage the  
main unit of the Navigation System or the  
PC card.  
Open the cover on the front of the main unit.  
Slide the PC card lock lever to the right (1), and  
hold it there. Check that the PC card lock lamp  
has changed to green, and then press the PC  
card eject button (2). (Keep holding the PC card  
lock lever to the right until the PC card is  
removed completely.)  
Setting the PC card  
Open the cover at the front of the main unit. Hold  
the PC card label-side up: the arrow shows the  
direction of insertion. Insert the card firmly until  
the PC card eject button pops out. If the main  
unit power is on, the PC card lock lamp changes  
from green to red, showing that the PC card is  
inserted correctly and ready for use.

PC card can be set or removed regardless of  
the power ON/OFF of the main unit (ON/OFF  
of the engine).  
You can only use a card that conforms to the  
PCMCIA Type II (5V) standard. If you attempt  
to use a card complying with a different stan-  
dard, the card slot may be damaged, or a mal-  
function may occur.  
Do not remove the card while editing the data  
on the PC card. The data stored on the Navi-  
gation unit and data on the PC card could be  
corrupted.

Ambient conditions for playing disc  
Handling and Care of the Disc  
Some basic precautions are necessary when  
handling your discs.  
• At extremely high temperatures, a temperature cutout  
protects the Navigation System by switching it off  
automatically.  
• Despite our careful design of the product, as a result  
of mechanical wear, ambient conditions for use, or  
handling of the disc, small scratches that do not affect  
actual operation may appear on the disc surface. This  
is not a sign of the malfunction of the unit. Consider it  
to be normal wear and tear.  
Discs you can use  
• Do not use discs other than those intended for this  
product. Use only discs approved by Pioneer.  
DVD-ROM drive and care  
• Use only normal, round discs, if you insert irregular,  
non-round, shaped discs they may jam in the DVD-  
ROM drive or not play properly.  
Resetting the System  
On occasion, you may need to reset your Naviga-  
tion System.  
For details, refer to “About the Data being  
Deleted” in “Operation Manual”.  
When a reset is necessary  
• Check all discs for cracks, scratches or warping before  
playing. Discs that have cracks, scratches or are warp-  
ing may not play properly. Do not use such discs.  
• Avoid touching the recorded (non-printed side) surface  
when handling the disc.  
• Store discs in their cases when not in use.  
• Keep discs out of direct sunlight and do not expose the  
discs to high temperatures.  
• Do not attach labels, write on or apply chemicals to  
the surface of the discs.  
• To clean dirt from a disc, wipe the disc with a soft cloth  
outward from the center of the disc.  
You should reset the system in the following situations:  
• After installation of this unit in your vehicle.  
• If there appear to be problems with the operation of  
the system.  
• If there are problems with the display.  
• When changing the combination of the equipment.  
Using the reset button  
The reset button is recessed in the front of the main unit  
to prevent it being pressed accidentally. Look for it at the  
top right-hand corner of the front panel.  
Insert a pointed implement such as a ballpoint pen into  
the small hole and push.  
Reset button  
• If the heater is used in cold weather, moisture may  
form on components inside the DVD-ROM drive. Con-  
densation may cause the DVD-ROM drive to not oper-  
ate properly. If you think that condensation is a  
problem turn off the DVD-ROM drive for an hour or so  
to allow the DVD-ROM drive to dry out and wipe any  
damp discs with a soft cloth to remove the moisture.  
• Road shocks may interrupt disc playback.  
If you have connected other equipment (for example, a  
display or AV Head Unit) to this by cable, be sure to reset  
that equipment too.
