Cautions

• This unit is designed for negative ground 12 V

DC 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.

Parts Iist (1)

• The numbers in the list are keyed to those in

the instructions.

• The bracket 1 and the protection collar 3 are

attached to the unit before shipping. Before
mounting the unit, use the release keys 5 to
remove the bracket 1 and the protection collar
3

from the unit. For details, see “Removing

the protection collar and the bracket (4)” on
the reverse side of the sheet.

Keep the release keys 5 for future use as

they are also necessary if you remove the
unit from your car.

Handle the bracket 1 carefully to avoid injuring
your fingers.

both sides of the bracket
