3-2-2. Mobile Installations Battery Connections
Cautions
1. Before installing the power cable, be sure to remove
the negative lead from the battery for safety.
2. After installation and wiring, be sure to double
check for correct installation before reconnecting
the negative lead to the battery terminal.
3. If the fuse opens, be sure to check that each
conductor has not been damaged by short circuiting,
etc. Then replace with a new fuse of the same
rating.
4. After completing the wiring, wrap the fuse holder
with heat resistant tape to protect against heat and
moisture.
5. Do not remove the fuse even if the power cable is too
long.
Make sure the positive (+) and negative (—) lead polarity is
correct when connecting to the battery.

Caution
Leave enough space around the fan on the rear panel
for good ventilation.
Connect the power cable directly to the battery
terminals. Use of the cigarette lighter socket will lead to
poor connection, and will result in poor performance.
Pay close attention to the polarity of the cables when
connecting them to the battery.
