Connecting the System
Before installing this product
• This product is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Check the
battery voltage of your vehicle before installation.
To prevent damage
• When disconnecting a connector, pull the connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as you
may pull it out of the connector.
• This product cannot be installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory)
position on the ignition switch.
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. It is especial-
ly important to insulate all unused speaker leads, which if left uncovered may cause a
short circuit.
• Attach the connectors of the same color to the corresponding colored port, i.e., blue con-
nector to the blue port, black to black, etc.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units,
then make connections accordingly.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse
holder.
• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, do not directly ground the ≠ side of the
speaker lead or connect the ≠ sides of the speaker leads together. Be sure to connect the
≠ side of the speaker lead to the ≠ side of the speaker lead on the display unit.
• If the RCA pin jack on this product will not be used, do not remove the caps attached to
the end of the connector.
• When the auto antenna function is used by connecting the blue lead to the vehi-
cle with the auto antenna function, either turning off the ignition switch or
detaching the front panel will retract the auto antenna of the vehicle.
