Before Installation
Before installation of this unit, please note the
following precautions.
#WARNINGS
• If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery
wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may
cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a re.
Always connect those wires to the power source
running through the fuse box.
• Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition wire (red)
and the battery wire (yellow). The power supply
must be connected to the wires via the fuse.
#CAUTION
• Install this unit in the console of your vehicle.
Do not touch the metal part of this unit during and
shortly after the use of the unit. Metal part such as
the heat sink and enclosure become hot.
NOTE
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and
experience. For best safety, leave the mounting and
wiring work to professionals.
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC
power supply.
• Do not install the unit in a spot 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.
• 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 o 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 console has a lid, make sure to install the unit
so that the front panel will not hit the lid when
closing and opening.
• If the fuse blows, rst make sure the wires aren’t
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 on 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 ¤wires or
ground them to any metal part in the car.
• When only two speakers are being connected to
the system, connect the connectors either to both
the front output terminals or to both the rear output
terminals (do not mix front and rear). For example,
if you connect the ¢connector of the left speaker
to a front output terminal, do not connect the ¤
connector to a rear output terminal.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake
lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working
properly.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30°
or less.
• Do not press hard on the panel surface when installing
the unit to the vehicle. Otherwise scars, damage, or
failure may result.
• Reception may drop if there are metal objects near
the Bluetooth antenna.
