operation only.

• Do not get the leads under a screw, or caught in

moving parts (e.g. seat railing).

• Before making connections, turn the car ignition

off to avoid short circuits.

• Connect the yellow and red power input leads

only after all other leads have been connected.

• Run all ground leads to a common ground

point.

• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads

with electrical tape for safety.

• The use of optical instruments with this product

will increase eye hazard.

Notes on the power supply lead (yellow)
• When connecting this unit in combination with

other stereo components, the connected car
circuit’s rating must be higher than the sum of
each component’s fuse.

• When no car circuits are rated high enough,

connect the unit directly to the battery.
