low temperatures. The temperature
inside the vehicle should be between
32º F (0º C) and 100º F (37º C) before
turning on your unit.
• This unit will only play the following discs.

FLASH MEMORY
The VR500CS-BT supports USB Flash Memory, Secure Digital Card (SD) and Multi
Media Card (MMC) of up to 1GB of memory.
We recommend you format your Flash Drive/SD Card in FAT32 format before sav-
ing any files. If you experience any compatibility problems, we recommend that you
contact the manufacturer of the Flash Drive/SD Card/Multi Media Card.
CARE OF DISCS

• Disconnect negative battery terminal before starting installation. Consult the vehi-
cle’s owner’s manual for proper instruction.
• The unit is designed for a 12Volt DC negative ground operation system only. Before
installing the unit, confirm that your vehicle is a 12Volt DC negative ground system.
• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect con-
nections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage the vehicle’s electrical sys-
tem.
• Be sure to connect the negative (-) speaker leads to the negative (-) speaker termi-
nal. Never connect negative (-) speaker leads to chassis ground.
• The unit is only designed for use with 4 speakers. Do not combine output for use
with 2 speakers. Do not ground negative speaker leads to the chassis ground.
• Make sure all the connections are completely correct before turning on your unit.
• When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same amperage as
shown on the fuse holder.
• Do not block vents or heater panels. Blocking them will cause heat to build up in-
side and may result in fire.
• After completing the installation and before operating the unit, reconnect the bat-
tery. Then press the (RES) button with a pointed object, such as a ball-point pen to
set the unit to its initial status.

The VR500CS-BT has the ability to use two microphones. One microphone is built-in,
the other is a remote microphone.
NOTE: IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO INSTALL THE REMOTE MICROPHONE USING THE REAR “MIC
IN” JACK DURING THE INITAL INSTALLATION.
Built-In Microphone
The built-in microphone is located on the front left side of the unit. There is no setup re-
quired for this microphone and it is tuned to pick-up the voices of the front and rear seat
passengers.
Built-In Microphone (not visible)
Rear Microphone Jack
The suppled microphone shall be used to ensure the sound quality of the driver’s voice.
Installation
The rear microphone jack is located on the rear of the unit. Insert the plug of the supplied
microphone into the microphone jack. Route the microphone and wire to the driver’s side
sun visor, rear view mirror, or other area near the driver.
MICROPHONES
Setting the Microphone Volume
1. Press the “PHONE” button.
2. Press and hold the Volume Knob until
you see “OUT NUM” on the LCD
3. Press the Volume Knob to cycle through
the menu to “TEL”.
4. Rotate the Volume Knob to set the vol-
ume of the microphone.

WIRING CONNECTIONS
Make sure you have good chassis ground. A good ground connection will eliminate
most electrical noise problems. A good chassis ground requires a tight connection to
the vehicle’s metal chassis. The area around the ground connection should be clean,
bare metal without rust, paint, plastic, dust, or dirt for a good electrical connection.
Follow the above wiring diagram to install
the head unit with new or existing speakers.
• This unit is designed for use with four (4)
speakers with an impedance between 4
Ohms to 8 Ohms.
• An impedance load of less than 4 Ohms
could damage the unit.
• Never bridge or combine the speaker wire
outputs. When not using four speakers, use
electrical tape to tape the ends of the unused
speaker outputs to prevent a short circuit.
• Never ground the negative speaker termi-
nals to chassis ground.
