• Before

mounting,

connect the units

temporarily.

Check

that

the

units are connected correctly

by

operating

the

multi-CD

controller.

•

After

connection

is

complete,

press

the

clear

buttons

on

the

play-

er and

the

multi-CD

controller

with

the

tip

of

a pencil.

•

Be

sure

to

connect

the

ground

lead (black)

to

the

vehicle

body

or

some

other

metal

part

that

is

properly

grounded

to

the

chassis. If

the

ground

lead is

not

properly

connected, noise

may

occur

or

the

player

or

multi-CD

controller

may

not

operate

correctly.

•

This

product

is

for

vehicles

with

a

12-volt

battery

and

negative

grounding.

Before

installing

it

in a recreational vehicle, truck,

or

bus, check

the

battery

voltage.

•

To

avoid

shorts

in

the

electrical system, be sure

to

disconnect

the

battery

(-)

cable

before

beginning

installation.

• Check

whether

installation

and

wiring

have been

completed

cor-

rectly. Replace

the

removed

car

components,

then

connect

the

end

of

the

cable

to

the

negative

(-)

terminal

of

the

battery.

• Secure

the

wiring

with

cable

clamps

or

adhesive tape. To

protect

the

wiring,

wrap

adhesive

tape

around

them

where

they

lie

against

metal parts.

• Route

and

secure all

wiring

so

it

cannot

touch

any

moving

parts,

such as

the

gear

shift, handbrake,

and

seat rails. Do

not

route

wiring

in places

that

get

hot, such as

near

the

heater

outlet.

If

the

insulation

of

the

wiring

melts

or

gets

torn,

there

is a

danger

of

the

wiring

short-circuiting

to

the

vehicle

body.

•

Don't

pass

the

yellow

lead

through

a

hole

into

the

engine

com-

partment

to

connect

to

the

battery.

This

will

damage

the

lead

insulation

and cause a

very

dangerous

short.

• Do

not

shorten

any

leads. If

you

do,

the

protection

circuit

may

fail

to

work

when

it

should.

•

Never

feed

power

to

other

equipment

by

cutting

the

insulation

of

the

power

supply

lead

of

the

unit

and

tapping

into

the

lead. The

current

capacity

of

the

lead

will

be exceeded, causing

over

heat-

mg.

• Replace fuses

only

with

the

types

stipulated

on

the

fuse holder.

• Even

if

the

power

is cut

off

because

the

power

cord

is

removed

or

the

battery

is replaced,

the

CD

title

display

and

ITS

memory

are

retained

for

24 hours.
