WARNING

lead separately from the earth of high-cur-
rent products such as power amps. Do not
earth more than one product together
with the earth from another product. For
example, you must separately earth any
amp unit away from the earth of this navi-
gation system. Connecting earths to-
gether can cause a fire and/or damage the
products if their earths became detached.
! When replacing the fuse, be sure to only
use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this
product.
! When disconnecting a connector, pull the
connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as
you may pull it out of the connector.
! This product cannot be installed in a vehi-
cle without ACC (accessory) position on
the ignition switch.
ACC position
! To avoid short-circuiting, cover the discon-
nected lead with insulating tape. It is espe-
cially important to insulate all unused
speaker leads, which if left uncovered may
cause a short circuit.
! Attach the connectors of the same colour
to the corresponding coloured port, i.e.,
blue connector to the blue port, black to
black, etc.
