Panasonic CQ-C5100W - Manual (Page 42)

Connect All Leads
Now that you have identified all the wires in the
ear, you are ready to begin connecting them to the
stereo unit wires. The wiring diagram (page 58)
shows the proper connections and color coding of
the leads.
We strongly recommend that you test the unit
before making a final installation.
You can set the unit on the floor and make
temporary connecfions to test the unit. Use
electrical tape to cover all exposed wires.
Important:
• Connect the red power lead last, after you have
made and insulated all other connections.
_____________________________ J
Ground
Connect the black ground lead of the power
connector to the metal car chassis.
Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram
{page 58) for the proper hookups. Follow the
diagram carefully to avoid damaging the speakers
and the stereo unit.
The speakers used must be able to handle more
than 50 W of audio power. It using an optional
audio amplifier, the speakers should be able to
handle the maximum amplifier output power.
Speakers with low input ratings can be damaged.
Speaker impedance should measure 4-3 Q. which
is typically marked on most speakers. Lower or
higher impedance speakers will affect output and
can cause both speaker and stereo unit damage.
Motor Antenna
Connect the car motor antenna lead to the blue
motor antenna relay control lead.
{Do not confuse the antenna lead with blueMhite
stripe lead for a power amplifier.)
Battery
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio
wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.
Antenna
Connect the antenna by plugging the antenna lead
into the antenna receptacle.
Equipment
Connect any optional equipment such as an
amplifier, according to the instructions furnished
with the equipment. Leave about 30 cm ot distance
between the speaker leads/amplitier unit and the
antenna/antenna extension cord. Read the operating
and installation instructions of any equipment you
will connect to this unit.
Power
Connect the red power lead to the correct car radio
wire or to the appropriate fuse port on the fuse
block.
If the stereo unit functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and
proceed to the final Installation.
Final Installation
Lead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each connection
is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires and
fasten them with tape so they will not fall down
later. Now insert the stereo unit into the mounting
collar.
Congratulations! After making a few final checks,
you're ready to enjoy your new auto stereo system.
Final Checks
1. Make sure that all wires are properly connected
and insulated.
2. Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held in
the mounting collar.
3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for proper
operation.
It you have difficulties, consult your nearest
