Connecting the System

Before installing this navigation system

• This navigation system is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding.
Check the battery voltage of your vehicle before installation.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical sys-
tem, be sure to disconnect the (–)
battery cable before beginning
installation.

To prevent damage

• When disconnecting a connector, pull the connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as you
may pull it out of the connector.
• This navigation system cannot be installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC
(accessory) position on the ignition switch.
ACC position
• When the "Auto ANT" mode is set to "Radio", the vehicle's antenna can be stowed by
following the instructions below.
– Change the source from radio (AM or FM) to another source
– Turn the source off
– Turn off the ignition switch (ACC OFF)
• If the "Auto ANT" mode is set to "Power", the vehicle's antenna can be stowed only
when the ignition switch is turned off (ACC OFF).
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. It is especial-
ly important to insulate all unused speaker leads, which if left uncovered may cause a
short circuit.
• Attach the connectors of the same color to the corresponding colored port, i.e., blue con-
nector to the blue port, black to black, etc.
• Refer to the owner's manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units,
then make connections accordingly.
• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, do not directly ground the ≠ side of the
speaker lead or connect the ≠ sides of the speaker leads together. Be sure to connect the
≠ side of the speaker lead to the ≠ side of the speaker lead on this navigation system.
• If the RCA pin jack on this navigation system will not be used, do not remove the caps
attached to the end of the connector.
