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.
