Installing or servicing this product and its connecting cables may expose you to the risk of electric shock or other hazards, and can cause damage to this product that is not covered by warranty.

Precautions before connecting the system

CAUTION

• Secure all wiring with cable clamps or electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wiring to remain exposed.
• Do not directly connect the yellow lead of this product to the vehicle battery. If the lead is directly connected to the battery, engine vibration may eventually cause the insulation to fail at the point where the wire passes from the passenger compartment into the engine compartment. If the yellow lead’s insulation tears as a result of contact with metal parts, short-circuiting can occur,resulting in considerable danger.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow cables to become wound around the steering column or shift lever. Be sure to install this product, its cables, and wiring away in such so that they will not obstruct or hinder driving.
• Make sure that the cables and wires will not interfere with or become caught in any of the vehicle’s moving parts,especially the steering wheel, shift lever, parking brake, sliding seat tracks, doors, or any of the vehicle’s controls.
• Do not route wires where they will be exposed to high temperatures. If the insulation heats up, wires may become damaged, resulting in a short circuit or malfunction and permanent damage to the product.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse resistor or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.
• Never feed power to other electronic products by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of this product andtapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

Before installing this product

• Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the (–) battery cable before installation.
