1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the
ignition and disconnect the - battery.
2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for
each unit.
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order:
ground, battery, ignition.
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.
6. Install the unit in your car.
7. Reconnect the - battery.
8. Press the reset button.
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.
• If your car's ignition does not have an ACC position,
connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be
turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect the
ignition wire to a power source with a constant voltage
supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so
that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and
opening.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t
touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old
fuse with one with the same rating.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other
similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove
the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the
terminals.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to
which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail
to work if you share the
- wires or ground them to any
metal part in the car.
• When only two speakers are being connected to the
system, connect the connectors either to both the front
output terminals or to both the rear output terminals (do
not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect the
+ connector of the left speaker to a front output
terminal, do not connect the
- connector to a rear
output terminal.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake
lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working
properly.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.
