2WARNING

If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire
(yellow) to the negative ground point, 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.

• 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.

• 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 vessel ignition does not have an ACC position,

connect the ignition wire to a power source that can be
turned on and off with the key or other control switch. If
the receiver is left on for an extended period of time the
battery may die.

• 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 vessel.

• 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 installing the unit, check to make sure that electrical

equipment such as the signal lamps and gauges operate
normally.

• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.
