Mounting precautions

The EQS746 can be mounted next to the source unit or under the dash using the mounting brackets. The front panel controls should be easily accessible from the driver’s seat. In addition:

•This unit requires additional mobile audio components for proper operation.

•Always use great care when attaching anything to a vehicle! Check clearances in front of, behind, and on both sides of the planned installation before drilling any holes or installing any screws.

Wiring precautions

Disconnect the ground (-) terminal on the vehicle’s battery.

WARNING!

To prevent short circuits during installation, always discon- nect the vehicle’s negative (-) battery lead before making any connections.

•This unit is exclusively for vehicles with a negative ground, 12V battery system.

•A good chassis ground connection is critical to minimize resistance and avoid noise problems. Use the shortest wire possible and securely connect it to the car chassis and the source unit ground.

•When routing RCA cables, keep the cables away from the power cables and output speaker wires.

•If you are using a source unit without a remote turn-on lead, the EQS746 can be turned on with a switched accessory lead. This accessory power source is located in the factory harness at the back of the radio. This lead turns on and off with the ignition key.

•Do not open the case. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If you require assistance, consult your Clarion dealer or an authorized Clarion service center.
