Before Installation

¤
• Mounting and wiring this product
requires skills and experience. For safety's
.....1
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
.....2
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.
• Make sure that all wire connections are
securely made by inserting jacks until they
lock completely.
• If your vehicle's ignition does not have
an ACC position, or if the ignition wire
is connected to a power source with
constant voltage such as a battery wire,
the power will not be linked with the
ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off
along with the ignition). If you want to
link the unit's power with the ignition,
connect the ignition wire to a power
source that can be turned on and off with
the ignition key.
• Use a commercially available conversion
connector if the connector does not fit in
the vehicle connector.
• 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.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to
