condition, for instance, when the audio does not play.
Doing so may result in an accident, fire, or electrical
shock.
• If an abnormal situation occurs, such as foreign
matter entering or liquid splashing on the product, or
smoke or a strange odor emitting from the unit, shut
off the product immediately and consult the dealer
from whom you purchased it. Continued operation
may cause an accident, fire, or electrical shock.
• When routing cables, use precautions to prevent
contact of sharp metal parts such as brackets or
screw tips. Otherwise, a short circuit, electric shock,

1 Main unit

Tip
• If installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, the location and the slope of the vehicle's windshield
will determine the accuracy of the GPS antenna to receive the GPS signal. If the GPS antenna
location inside the vehicle is hindering the accuracy of the GPS antenna, then you may want to install
the antenna outside of the vehicle.

• The materials used in front and rear vehicle windows can cause GPS reception sensitivity to drop
significantly. If this happens, install the GPS antenna on the outside of the vehicle.

• Never cut the insulation on the power cable or use it to power any other equipment. If the rated current
capacity of the power cable is exceeded, fire and electric shocks may result.
• The cables should be secured with tape or a similar securing method to prevent any obstructions while
driving. If they get wound or entangled around components such as the steering wheel, shifting lever,
or brake pedal, accidents may result.
• If removing the end of the cord to connect to another cord, be sure to wrap PVC tape or a similar wire
insulating method around the connection to insulate it. If the connection is not insulated, fire or
accidents may result.

Notes on installation

• Check the vehicle speed pulse signal, parking brake signal, and reverse signal carefully before making
the connections. If the cables are incorrectly connected, accidents or problems with correct operation
may result.
• The label on the vehicle speed pulse signal cable contains a protection circuit, so do not cut the cable
or remove the protective circuit, otherwise problems with operation may result.
• Bind the cables together with tape so that they do not cause an obstruction while driving. If they
become wound or entageled around parts such as the steering wheel, shifting lever, or brake pedal,
accidents may result.

Tip
The locations where the vehicle speed pulse signal cable, parking brake signal cable, and reverse cable
may vary depending on the vehicle model and grade. Ask the car dealer or your nearest Eclipse dealer
for details.

Installing the GPS antenna
Notes on installation

• The cables should be bound together with tape or a similar securing method (example: wire ties) so
that they do not interfere with driving. If it becomes wound or entangled around parts such as the
steering wheel, shifting lever, or brake pedal, accidents may result.
• Do not install the GPS antenna where it will obstruct the driver's vision or where it will be an obstacle
while driving, otherwise traffic accidents may result.

Tip
• If the vehicle glass is a special type of glass such as
heat-reflective glass or bullet-proof glass, be sure to
install the GPS antenna outside of the vehicle. If the
GPS antenna is installed inside of the vehicle, the
reception sensitivity will severely drop and will affect
the accuracy of the position measurement.
• If installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, be
sure it is mounted to the ground plate.
• If installing the GPS antenna inside the vehicle, the
location and the slope of the vehicle's windshield will
determine the accuracy of the GPS antenna to
receive the GPS signal. If the GPS antenna location
inside the vehicle is hindering the accuracy of the
GPS antenna, then you may want to install the
antenna outside of the vehicle.
• The materials used in front and rear vehicle windows
can cause GPS reception sensitivity to drop
significantly. If this happens, install the GPS antenna
on the outside of the vehicle.
• If the attachment surface is a non-plastic surface
such as genuine leather, wood panel, or cloth,
attaching the antenna may damage the surface
finish. Do not attach the ground plate to such
surfaces.
• Wipe the installation surface thoroughly so that it is
clear of any dirt, moisture, or grease before installing
the antenna.
• Do not apply any coatings to the GPS antenna,
otherwise it may cause a drop in the reception
sensitivity of the antenna.
• Route the GPS antenna cable as far away as
possible from TV and radio antennas, and cables,
otherwise, it may cause interference with video and
audio signals.
• Do not install the antenna in places (such as front
pillars and roof panel) that are shielded from the sky.
• The GPS antenna should be installed in a level
position where the signals will be as unobstructed as
much as possible, such as on the vehicle's roof.
Satellite signals cannot be received if the antenna is
obscured or obstructed.
• If installing the GPS antenna outside the vehicle,
remove the main antenna unit if leaving the vehicle
unattended for long periods in order to prevent theft
or malicious damage to the antenna.
• Hold the main antenna unit when removing the
antenna. Do not pull on the cable, otherwise it may
become damaged and result in problems with correct
operation.
• If installing the GPS antenna outside the vehicle,
remove the main antenna unit when washing the
vehicle. (If you wash the vehicle with the main
antenna unit still attached, avoid spraying the cable
section directly with water so that no water gets
inside the vehicle.)
• The magnet that is attached to the GPS antenna is
extremely strong. Be sure to note the following when
installing the antenna.
