nstallation Procedure
Before Installation
Before installation of this unit, please
note the following precautions.
WARNINGS
• 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.
• Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition
wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow).
The power supply must be connected to
the wires via the fuse.
CAUTION
• Install this unit in the console of your
vehicle.
Do not touch the metal part of this unit
during and shortly after the use of the
unit. Metal part such as the heat sink and
enclosure become hot.
NOTES
• Mounting and wiring this product requires
skills and experience. For best safety, 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.
• 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, such as with
battery wires, the battery may be drained.
• 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.
• This unit has the cooling fan (P.28) to
decrease the internal temperature. Do
not mount the unit in a place where
the cooling fan of the unit are blocked.
Blocking these openings will inhibit the
cooling of the internal temperature and
result in malfunction.
• Do not press hard on the panel surface when
installing the unit to the vehicle. Otherwise
scars, damage, or failure may result.
• Make sure that all wire connections are
securely made by inserting jacks until they
lock completely.
• Use a commercially available conversion
connector if the connector does not fit in
the vehicle connector.
• Reception may drop if there are metal
objects near the Bluetooth antenna.
