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 speaker wires of the wiring harness. 4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order: ground, battery, ignition. 5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit. 6. Install the unit in your car. 7. Reconnect the 8 battery. 8. Press the reset button. 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. ~CAUTION Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. Do not touch the metal part of this unit during and shortly after the use of the unit. Metal part such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot. & 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 the power is not turned ON ("PROTECT" is displayed), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the chassis 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

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 speaker wires
of
the wiring harness.
4.
Connect the wiring harness wires
in
the following
order: ground, battery, ignition.
5.
Connect the wiring harness connector
to
the unit.
6.
Install the unit in your
car.
7.
Reconnect the
8
battery.
8.
Press
the reset button.
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.
~CAUTION
Install this unit in the console
of
your vehicle.
Do not touch the metal part
of
this unit during and shortly
after the
use
of
the unit. Metal part such
as
the heat sink
and enclosure become hot.
&
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 the power
is
not turned
ON
("PROTECT"
is
displayed),
the speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the
chassis
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 apower 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
<±l
connector
of
the left speaker
to
a front
output
terminal, do
not connect the
8
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.
This
unit
has
the cooling
fan
(page
5)
to
decrease the
internal temperature. Do not
mount
the unit
in
a place
where the cooling fan
of
the unit
are
blocked. Blocking
these openings will inhibit the cooling
of
the internal
temperature and result
in
malfunction.
