¤Warning
The unit can only be installed in a car with a
■ ■
12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
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.
Disconnect the battery's negative terminal
■ ■
and make all electrical connections before
installing the unit.
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.
Be sure to ground this unit to the car's
■ ■
chassis again after mounting.

English
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.
¤Caution
If your car's ignition key switch 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 wires to a constant-
voltage power source, as with battery wires,
the battery may die.
Do not use your own screws. Use only the
■ ■
screws provided.
Install this unit in the console of your
■ ■
vehicle. Make sure the faceplate will not hit
the lid of the console (if any) when closing
and opening.
After the installing the unit, 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.
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires
■ ■
are not touching other parts to cause a
short circuit, and then replace the old fuse
with one with a new the same rating.
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the
■ ■
corresponding terminals. 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).
