Installation ProcedureAccessories

1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the ignition and

disconnect the -battery.

2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.

3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.

4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following order: ground,

battery, ignition.

5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.

6. Install the unit in your car.

7. Reconnect the -battery.

8. Press the reset button.

•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.

2CAUTION

•Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30°or less.
