Connection/Installation Cautions Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point. Do not get the leads trapped 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 supply leads only after all other leads have been connected. Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety. Choose the installation location carefully so that the unit will not interfere with normal driving operations. Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts. Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe and secure installation. Note on the power supply lead (yellow) When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the amperage rating of the car circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each components fuse amperage rating. Note on installing in cars with a start-stop system The unit may restart when starting the engine from start-stop. In this case, turn off the start-stop system of your car.

Making connections To the +12 V power terminal which is energized when the ignition switch is set to the accessory position If there is no accessory position, connect to the +12 V power (battery) terminal which is energized at all times. Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point. To the power antenna (aerial) control lead or the power supply lead of the antenna (aerial) booster It is not necessary to connect this lead if there is no power antenna (aerial) or antenna (aerial) booster, or with a manually-operated telescopic antenna
(aerial). To AMP REMOTE IN of an optional power amplifier This connection is only for amplifiers and a power antenna (aerial). Connecting any other system may damage the unit. To a cars illumination signal Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point. To a common ground (earth) point First connect the black ground (earth) lead, then connect the yellow and red power supply leads. To the +12 V power terminal which is energized at all times Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point. When connecting to the battery directly When the amperage rating of the fuse used on your car is 10 A, make the power connection to the battery directly to avoid short circuits. to a metal point of car to the positive battery terminal Notes Despite connecting to the power supply lead of the car, the unit may not fully provide its performance due to insufficient power. In this case, make the power connection to the battery directly. All power wires connected to the positive battery post should be fused within 450 mm (18 in) of the battery post, and before they pass through any metal. Make sure that the cars battery wires connected to the car (ground (earth) to chassis)* are of a wire gauge at least equal to that of the main power wire connected from the battery to the head unit. During full-power operation, a current of more than 15 A will run through the system. Therefore, make sure that the wires to be connected to the
+12 V and GND terminals of this unit are at least 14-Gauge (AWG14) or have a sectional area of more than 2mm (3/32 in). When making the speaker parallel connection, use wires with more than 12-Gauge (AWG12) or wire that have a sectional area of more than 3.5 mm (5/32 in). Less than 450 mm (18 in) Fuse (15 A)
