Mounting and wiring precautions
zThis unit is exclusively for vehicles with a negative ground, 12V power supply.
zThis unit may be installed with additional mobile audio components, such as a digital
camera.
zAlways use great care when attaching anything to a vehicle. Check clearances on both
sides of the planned installation before drilling any holes or installing any screws.
zA good chassis ground connection is critical to minimize resistance and avoid noise
problems. Use the shortest wire possible and securely connect it to the car chassis.
zWhen routing RCA cables, keep them away from the power cables and output speaker
wires, engine, exhaust system, ect. Heat may damage wires.
zIf the fuse should blow, make sure that all connections are correct, the cables have not
caused a short circuit, and no wires are damaged. Then replace the fuse with a new
fuse of the same amperage value as the original fuse. When replacing a fuse, never let
the power cable touch any metal part or other wire.
zNever let disconnected cables or terminals touch metal on the car or any other
conducting material.
zTo prevent short circuit, do not remove the caps from unused terminals or from the
ends of unconnected cables.
zInsulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material.
Warning!
To prevent short circuits during installation, disconnect the vehicle’s
negative battery lead before making any power connections.
Installation procedure
The unit replaces the car’s dome light. This section provides basic tips and techniques to aid
the installation. These are not vehicle specific, but should be used as guidelines for
performing the installation.
1. Determine the polarity of the power system in the car. This information should be on a
vehicle-specific diagram.
2. Locate the polarity switch on the back of the player (the side that will be attached to the
ceiling).
3. If the vehicle’s power supply requires negative polarity (default setting), ensure this
switch is set to the negative position. In the rare occurrence of a positive ground vehicle,
slide this switch to the positive position.
CAUTION:
Make sure the switch is fully to one side or the other. Do not attempt to configure this
switch once the player is in position.
4. Cut a one-inch hole in the headliner along the back of the ceiling bracket for the cables
to pass through.
