Cautions
• This unit is designed for negative ground (earth) 12 V
DC operation only.
• Do not get the leads under a screw, or caught in
moving parts (e.g. seat railing).
• Before making connections, turn the car ignition off to
avoid short circuits.
• Connect the yellow and red power supply leads only
after all other leads have been connected.
• Run all ground (earth) leads to a common
ground (earth) point.
• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with
electrical tape for safety.
Notes on the power supply lead (yellow)
• When connecting this unit in combination with other
stereo components, the connected car circuit’s rating
must be higher than the sum of each component’s
fuse.
• When no car circuits are rated high enough, connect
the unit directly to the battery.
Parts list
• The numbers in the list are keyed to those in the
instructions.
• The bracket  and the protection collar  are
attached to the unit before shipping. Before mounting
the unit, use the release keys  to remove the bracket
 from the unit. For details, see “Removing the

Notes on speaker connection
• Before connecting the speakers, turn the unit off.
• Use speakers with an impedance of 4 to 8 ohms, and with
adequate power handling capacities to avoid its damage.

connect the terminals of the right speakers with those of the
left speaker.
• Do not connect the ground (earth) lead of this unit to the
negative (–) terminal of the speaker.
• Do not attempt to connect the speakers in parallel.
• Connect only passive speakers. Connecting active speakers
(with built-in amplifiers) to the speaker terminals may damage
the unit.
• To avoid a malfunction, do not use the built-in speaker leads
installed in your car if the unit shares a common negative (–)
lead for the right and left speakers.
• Do not connect the unit’s speaker leads to each other.
