Installation
Note:
• Before making a final installation of the unit,
temporarily connect the wiring to confirm that the
connections are correct and the system works
properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to
ensure proper installation. The use of unautho-
rized parts can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation
requires the drilling of holes or other modifica-
tions of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the dri-
ver's way and cannot injure the passenger if there
is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
• Do not place the display in a position where it
will impede the driver's visibility or affect the
operation of your vehicle's air bags.
• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it
overheats, so don't install the unit anywhere hot
— for instance, near a heater outlet.
• If installation angle exceeds 30° from horizontal,
the unit might not give its optimum performance.

• When installing, to ensure proper heat dispersal
when using this unit, make sure you leave ample
space behind the rear panel and wrap any loose
cables so they are not blocking the vents.
• The cords must not cover up the area shown in
the figure below. This is necessary to allow the
amplifires to radiate freely. (Fig. 9)
Do not close this area.

• When mounting the hide-away unit, make sure
none of the leads are trapped between the hide-
away unit and the surrounding metalwork or fit-
tings.
• Do not mount the hide-away unit near the heater
outlet, where it would be affected by heat, or near
the doors, where rainwater might splash onto it.
• Before drilling any mounting holes always check
behind where you want to drill the holes. Do not
drill into the gas line, brake line, electrical wiring
or other important parts.
• If the hide-away unit is installed in the passenger
compartment, anchor it securely so it does not
break free while the car is moving, and cause
injury or an accident.
• If the hide-away unit is installed under a front
seat, make sure it does not obstruct seat move-
ment. Route all leads and cords carefully around
the sliding mechanism so they do not get caught
or pinched in the mechanism and cause a short
circuit.
