• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and
experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting and wiring
work to professionals.
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power
supply.
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight
or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too
much dust or the possibility of water splashing.
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided.
If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.
• If the power is not turned ON (“Protect” is displayed), the
speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the
chassis of the vehicle and the protection function may
have been activated. Therefore, the speaker wire should be
checked.
• Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by
inserting jacks until they lock completely.
• If your vehicle’s ignition does not have an ACC position, or
if the ignition wire is connected to a power source with
constant voltage such as a battery wire, the power will not
be linked with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off
along with the ignition). If you want to link the unit’s power
with the ignition, connect the ignition wire to a power
source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key.
• Use a commercially available conversion connector if the
connector does not fit in the vehicle connector.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
