Option 1: Using Power Port
If your vehicle has a 12V power port, directly connect the sound system to your vehicle for power connection.
1.
Connect the supplied functional controller: Align the arrows marked on the connectors for connection.
2.
Insert the 12V power port plug of the sound system into your vehicle power port. When the power supply is
connected, the power LED indicator illuminates on the power port plug.
Note: To avoid battery drain, unplug the power port cable after each use (if the port power is not switched
off with the ignition key).
Option 2: Using Power Port Plug Adapter
If your vehicle dose not have a 12V power port, use the supplied power port plug adapter for connection to your
vehicle battery.
Important:
• To avoid short circuits and any resulting damage to the sound system, the negative terminal of the vehicle's
battery must be disconnected first.
1.
Connect the supplied functional controller: Align the arrows marked on the connectors for connection.
2.
Connect the black/ground wire of the power port plug adapter to the vehicle's metal frame or to the negative
battery terminal. Fasten the ground wire with a bolt/screw on the metal surface. Make sure the metal surface
is clean with no paint, rust or dirt.
3.
Connect the red wire of the power port plug adapter to the positive battery terminal.
If needed, use extension wires of 12-14 gauge for connection to the battery. Remember to install a 15A in-
line fuse (not included) and an on-off switch (not included). An on/off switch is not needed if you unplug
the power port cable after each use or if the vehicle power port is turned off with the ignition key. Refer to
the illustration.
4.
Insert the power port plug of the sound system into the power port plug adapter.
When the power supply is connected, the power LED indicator illuminates on the power port plug.
