2CAUTION

Do not use any accessories other than those provided with your unit. If you use other accessories, you may damage the unit.

2CAUTION

•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 off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition wire to a power source with a constant voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.

•If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.

•If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.

•Do not let unconnected wires or terminals touch metal on the car or anything else conducting electricity. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.

•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.

•After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.

•Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material.

•Some disc changers need conversion cords for connection. See the section on "Safety Precautions" for details.
