INSTALLATION

2.Connect the BLACK wire to chassis ground. Prepare the chassis ground by scraping any paint from the metal surface and thoroughly clean the area of all dirt and grease. Strip the end of the wire and attach a ring connector. Fasten the wire to the chassis using a non- anodized screw and star washer.

3.Connect the YELLOW wire to a source of constant +12V (for retaining memory on user- programmed functions). The source should always have +12V, even when the ignition is off and the car is not running.

4.Connect the RED wire (Ignition) to a source of switched +12V (is on only when ignition key is in “accessory” or “run” position). Connect the RED wire to a switched +12 volt posi- tive source. The switched signal is usually taken from the ACC (accessory) position of the ignition. If the vehicle does not have an ACC position, connect the wire to the switched ON position of the ignition. The current consumption through this wire is negligible.

5.Connect the LT. BLUE wire to the “Remote Turn-On” leads of the amplifier(s). This will turn-on the external amplifiers when the source unit is powered on.

6.Connect the BLUE/RED wire to the “Power Antenna” lead. This will raise a fully automatic antenna when the source unit is powered on, but only when the unit is in Tuner Mode.

7.Connect the Speaker Wires (if external amplifiers are not used) to the corresponding speak- er leads by soldering and heat shrinking all connections for a reliable installation. If only one pair of speakers is utilized in the system, use only the FRONT speaker leads and heat shrink the unused REAR leads to prevent from shorting out. Be sure to maintain speaker polarity. DO NOT chassis ground any speaker leads as unstable operation may result.

8.Install the Preamp Output Harness (if external amplifiers will be used) by plugging the RCA cables into the corresponding extension RCAs that feed the input of the amplifiers. Be sure to route the signal cables away from any high current wires to prevent coupling noise from radiated electrical fields into the audio signal. The FRONT RCAs connect to the Front speaker's amplifier. The REAR RCAs connect to the Rear speaker's amplifier.

9.Connect the Antenna by plugging the antenna cable into the connector located at the rear of the source unit. Be sure the antenna is securely grounded to the vehicle for proper radio reception.
