SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Secure the CD/MP3 player.
When installing your CD/MP3 player in the vehicle, make sure it is mounted properly in the dash, using an after market installation kit if needed. When using the supplied mounting bracket, it is a must that you also use the supplied back brace to support the back of the
CD/MP3 player.
Use caution when mounting the CD/MP3 player.
Remember there are many electrical wires, vacuum lines, brake lines and air bag deployment wires. Make sure you know where they are when mounting the CD/MP3 player to avoid puncturing lines, and shorting wires.
Use high grade wire connectors.
To ensure maximum power transfer and secure safe connections, it is recommended to use high grade barrel or crimp cap connectors.
Do not run any wires underneath the vehicle.
Exposed wires can be cut or damaged. It is best to run all wires through the vehicle under the carpet and/or side panels. This enables to a cleaner installation and less risk of damage.
Run signal wires away from electrical wires.
To avoid possibility of induced noise from the car's electrical system (i.e. popping noises or engine noise), run signal wires away from the car's electrical wiring.
Make all ground wires as short as possible and terminated at the same point.
In order to reduce the chance of ground loops (i.e. engine noise), make the grounded wire as short as possible to reduce the wire's resistance. Also, when using multiple components, make sure all units are grounded at the same point.
Avoid sharp edges when running the wires.
To avoid the possibility of power, signal or speaker shorts, be careful not to allow the amplifier wires to come in contact with sharp edges. Use a grommet to protect the wire when running through the fire wall .
