!To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or mal-
function, be sure to follow the directions
below.
—Disconnect the negative terminal of the
battery before installation.
—Secure the wiring with cable clamps or ad-
hesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap ad-
hesive tape around them where they lie

to an external power amp’s system remote
control or the vehicle’s auto-antenna relay
control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the
vehicle is equipped with a glass antenna, con-
nect it to the antenna booster power supply
terminal.
!Never connect blue/white cable to external
power amp’s power terminal. Also, never con-
nect it to the power terminal of the auto anten-
na. Otherwise, battery drain or malfunction
may result.
!Black cable is ground. This cable and other
product’s ground cable (especially, high-cur-
rent products such as power amp) must be
