Before Installation

Before installation of this unit, please note the following
precautions.
#WARNINGS
• 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 cut out the fuse from the ignition wire (red) and the
battery wire (yellow). The power supply must be connected
to the wires via the fuse.
#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.
✎
NOTE
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and
experience. For best safety, 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 ("There is an error in the speaker
wiring. Please check the connections." 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, such as with
battery wires, the battery may be drained.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the
front panel 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 ¤ 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 ¢ connector of the
left speaker to a front output terminal, do not connect the ¤
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 to decrease the internal
temperature. Do not mount the unit in a place where the
cooling fan of the unit is blocked. Blocking these openings
will inhibit the cooling of the internal temperature and result
in malfunction.
Cooling fan
• Do not press hard on the panel surface when installing the unit
to the vehicle. Otherwise scars, damage, or failure may result.
• Reception may drop if there are metal objects near the
Bluetooth antenna.
