Place the trim ring (5) over the unit and the installation is completed. (Some vehicles may not need a
trim ring).
The device is distinguished by a high degree of output. During operation, this results in a strong heat
generation. Therefore no cables or other parts may adjoin the device. If their insulation melts, there is
the risk of a short circuit or fire.
Removing: Turn off the device. Remove the front panel and place it into the protective case. Clamp off
the negative pole of the vehicle battery for the duration of the disassembly. First carefully remove the
trim ring (5) of the unit, by slightly pulling it upwards and then towards you. Now unscrew the four
screws as shown in (4). Remove carefully the unit from the mounting sleeve and disconnect all wires.
Make sure that no vehicle cable can cause a short circuit after the device has been unplugged.
Detachable control panel
To attach the front panel, insert the upper side of the panel first and make sure the connection pins slide
into the connection slots and then press the lower part of the panel to the unit until hear a click.
Slant the front panel down. Press the release lock (in the bottom of the front panel) upward to release the
front panel, and then take out the front panel by pulling it downwards and then towards you from the
bottom. Once the front panel is removed, the back plate will close automatically after a few seconds and
the panel status indicator will blink.
Note: The control panel can easily be damaged by shocks. After removing it, place it in a protective case and
be careful not to drop it or subject it to strong shocks. The rear connector that connects the main unit and
the control panel is an extremely important part. Be careful not to damage it by pressing on it with
fingernails, pens, screwdrivers, etc.
Note: If the control panel is dirty, wipe off the dirt with soft, dry cloth only. And use a cotton swab soaked in
isopropyl alcohol to clean the socket on the back of the control panel.

The front panel of this unit can be stored in the included protective case when not in used and carried away
when you leave the vehicle to deter theft.

you.
