Installation Procedure Installation Procedure 1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the ignition and disconnect the 8 battery. 2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit. 3. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order: ground, battery, ignition. 4. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit. 5. Install the unit in your car. 6. Reconnect the 8 battery. 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. & Do not install the controller and display unit on the surface where your vision is blocked and driving interfered. Before installation, check that no fuel tank, pipe, nor wire exists at backside of the mounting surface, to prevent screws from penetrating into such component. Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For safety's sake, leave the mounting and wiring work to professionals. Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply. Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing. Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit. 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 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. After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly. Installation for Display Unit Installation location and cleaning Select for installation a location where the stand can be placed completely horizontal shown in Figure A. Do not install in locations where the entire support is at a diagonal such as in Figure B or where the display unit is facing down such as in Figure C. oA~ '~ B ~ ~ c ~ XX & Thoroughly wipe away and dust or grease from the installation location using a cloth which has been soaked in a neutral cleaning agent and wrung out. Attach the stand after allowing the installation location to dry. Do not attach the double-sided tape more than once or touch the adhesive with your fingers as this will weaken its adhesive strength. If the temperature of the surface of the installation location is low, warm it up using a heater or other means before attaching the stand. Low temperature may weaken the adhesive strength of the tape. The supplied stand is specially intended for this product. Do not use it with another display. English I 33

as
this will weaken its
adhesive strength.
If
the temperature
of
the surface
of
the installation location
is
low, warm it
up
using a heater or other means before
attaching the stand. Low temperature may weaken the
adhesive strength
of
the tape.
The supplied stand
is
