AWARNING

If

you

connect

the

ignition

wire

(red)

and

the

battery

wire

(yellow)

to

the

car

chassis

(ground),

you

may

cause

a

short

circuit,

that

in

turn

may

start

a

fire.

Always

connect

those

wires

to

the

power

source

running

through

the

fuse

box.

•

If

the

power

is

not

turned

ON

(or

it

is

ON,

but

will

be

OFF

immediately),

the

speaker

wire

may

have

a

short

circuit

or

touched

the

chasis

of

the

vehicle

and

the

protection

function

may

have

been

activated.

Therefore,

the

speaker

wire

should

be

checked.

•

If

your

car's

ignition

does

not

have

an

ACC

position,

connect

the

ignition

wires

to

a

power

source

that

can

be

turned

on

and

off

with

the

ignition

key.

If

you

connect

the

ignition

wire

to

a

power

source

with

a

constant

voltage

supply,

as

with

battery

wires,

the

battery

may

die.

•

If

the

console

has

a

lid,

make

sure

to

install

the

unit

so

that

the

faceplate

will

not

hit

the

lid

when

closing

and

opening.

•

If

the

fuse

blows,

first

make

sure

the

wires

aren't

touching

to

cause

a

short

circuit,

then

replace

the

old

fuse

with

one

with

the

same

rating.

•

Insulate

unconnected

wires

with

vinyl

tape

or

other

similar

material.

To

prevent

a

short

circuit,

do

not

remove

the

caps

on

the

ends

of

the

unconnected

wires

or

the

terminals.

•

Connect

the

speaker

wires

correctly

to

the

terminals

to

which

they

correspond.

The

unit

may

be

damaged

or

fail

to

work

if

you

share

the

8

wires

or

ground

them

to

any

metal

part

in

the

car.

•

When

only

two

speakers

are

being

connected

to

the

system,

connect

the

connectors

either

to

both

the

front

output

terminals

or

to

both

the

rear

output

terminals

(do

not

mix

front

and

rear).

For

example,

if

you

connect

the

C)

connector

of

the

left

speaker

to

a

front

output

terminal,

do

not

connect

the

e

connector

to

a

rear

output

terminal.

•

After

the

unit

is

installed,

check

whether

the

brake

lamps,

blinkers,

wipers,

etc.

on

the

car

are

working

properly.

•

Mount

the

unit

so

that

the

mounting

angle

is

30°

or

less.
