Precautions on installation and connection
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and
experience. For best safety, leave the mounting and
wiring work to professionals.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or
less.
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12 V DC
power supply.
• Do not install the unit in a location exposed to direct
sunlight or excessive heat or 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.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake
lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working
properly.
• Do not press hard on the panel surface when
installing the unit to the car. Otherwise scratches,
damage, or failure may result.
• If the power is not turned on ("Miswiring DC Offset
Error", "Warning DC Offset Error" is displayed),
the speaker wire may have a short circuit or have
touched the chassis of the car and the protection
function may have been activated. In this case, the
speaker wire should be checked.
• Keep all cables away from heat dissipating metal
parts.
• If your car's ignition 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 wire to a power source with a
constant voltage supply, such as with battery wires,
the battery may be drained.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not
touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old
fuse with one with the same rating.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other
similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not
remove the caps and do not let the cable out at the
ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
• Secure the wires with cable clamps and wrap vinyl
tape around the wires that comes into contact with
metal parts to protect the wires and to prevent short
circuit.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals
to which they correspond. The unit may be damaged
·
or fail to work if you share the
them to any metal part in the car.
• When only two speakers are being connected to the
system, connect both connectors either to the front
output terminals or to the rear output terminals (do
not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect
