Connection Check List - Alpine R2-A150M Owner's Manual

CONNECTION CHECK LIST

Please check your head unit for the conditions
listed below:
Remote Turn-On Lead
a. The head unit does not have a remote turn-on
or power antenna lead.
b. The head unit's power antenna lead is activated
only when the radio is on (turns off in the tape
or CD Mode).
c. The head unit's power antenna lead is logic level
output (+) 5 V, negative trigger (grounding
type), or cannot sustain (+) 12 V when
connected to other equipment in addition to
the vehicle's power antenna.
If any of the above conditions exist, the remote
turn-on lead of your R2-A150M must be
connected to a switched power source (ignition)
in the vehicle. Be sure to use a 3 A fuse as close
as possible to this ignition tap. Using this
connection method, the R2-A150M will turn on
and stay on as long as the ignition switch is on.
If this is objectionable, a SPST (Single Pole,
Single Throw) switch, in addition to the 3 A fuse
mentioned above, may be installed in-line on
the R2-A150M turn-on lead. This switch will then
be used to turn on (and off ) the R2-A150M.
Therefore, the switch should be mounted so that
is accessible by the driver. Make sure the switch
is turned off when the vehicle is not running.
Otherwise, the amplifier will remain on and
drain the battery.
