Making connections

 To the +12 V power terminal which is
energized when the ignition switch is
set to the accessory position
If there is no accessory position, connect
to the +12 V power (battery) terminal
which is energized at all times.
Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth)
point.
 To the power antenna (aerial) control
lead or the power supply lead of the
antenna (aerial) booster
It is not necessary to connect this lead if
there is no power antenna (aerial) or
antenna (aerial) booster, or with a
manually-operated telescopic antenna
(aerial).
To AMP REMOTE IN of an optional
power amplifier
This connection is only for amplifiers and
a power antenna (aerial). Connecting any
other system may damage the unit.
 To a boat's illumination signal
Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth)
point.
 To a common ground (earth) point
First connect the black ground (earth)
lead, then connect the yellow and red
power supply leads.
 To the +12 V power terminal which is
energized at all times
Be sure to first connect the black ground
(earth) lead to a common ground (earth)
point.
When connecting to the battery directly
When the amperage rating of the fuse used
on your boat is 10 A, make the power
connection to the battery directly to avoid
short circuits.
 to a metal point of boat
 to the positive battery terminal
Notes
• Despite connecting to the power supply lead of
the boat, the unit may not fully provide its
performance due to insufficient power. In this
case, make the power connection to the battery
directly.
• All power wires connected to the positive battery
post should be fused within 450 mm (18 in) of the
battery post, and before they pass through any
metal.
• Make sure that the boat battery wires connected
to the boat (ground (earth) to chassis)* are of a
wire gauge at least equal to that of the main
power wire connected from the battery to the
head unit.
