Notes of connection

• This unit is designed to be used in a vehicle with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing this unit to a recreational vehicle, a bus, or a truck, make sure the battery voltage is appropriate for this unit to be used, otherwise, install a transformer by professional to convert the output voltage to 12V.
• Teo avoid short circuit in the electrical system, ensure that the negative battery cable is disconnected before installation.
• To prevent short circuit in the wiring and damaging to this unit, secure all wirings with cable clamp or adhesive tape. Route the wirings in a secured, out of heating place without touching any moving parts such as gear shift, handbrake, and seat rails to prevent the wiring insulation being melted / wore off.
• Never pass the yellow power cord through the installation hole into the engine compartment and connect to the car battery. Otherwise, a high possibility of serious short circuit to the electrical system may be occurred.
• Replacing a new fuse with 15A rating when the old one is broken, using no fuse or fuse with improper rating may cause damage to this unit or even fires. If a proper fuse is installed and electrical problems still occur, please contact with any professional car  shops for inquiry.
• DO NOT connect other equipments with the car battery to avoid battery overheating.
• Please make sure all the wiring connections & the cables of the Speakers are well- insulated. Otherwise, this unit may be damaged by short circuit.
• If there is no ACC available, please connect ACC lead to the power supply with a switch.
• If an external power amplifier is connected, please don’t connect P.CONT lead to the power lead of the external power amplifier, otherwise, electric spark or other damage may be resulted.
• Never ground the speaker output to prevent the damage to the built-in power amplifier.

Installation

Electronic Connections Important:
Parking lead at power connector MUST be connected to the switched side of the parking brake circuit (the side that becomes ground when the brake is applied), and in ‘General Set Up’ screen, parking mode MUST be set to ‘on’.
Improper connection, use of lead and incorrect setting may violate road traffic regulations.
Electronic Connections

1. If your car is equipped with the ISO connector, then connect the ISO connectors as illustrated.
2. For connections without the ISO connectors, check the wiring in the vehicle carefully before connecting, incorrect connection may cause serious damage to this unit. Cut the connector, connect the colored leads of the power cord to the car battery, as shown in the colour code table below for speaker and power cable connections.

Preparation

1. Disconnect battery
   Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.
   Note:
   If the unit is to be installed in a car equipped with an on-board drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under these conditions, use extra caution during installation to avoid causing a short circuit.

2. Remove transport screws
   IMPORTANT:
   Remove the two transport screws AS top of the unit before installation.
   Otherwise, the player will not work.m

3. Remove unit from sleeve Lift latches on both sides of sleeve to remove half-sleeve from the unit.

Mounting sleeve installation

1. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis. If it is locked into position, use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.

2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it.If the opening is too small, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check for sufficient space behind the dashboard for the unit chassis. This unit can be installed in any dashboard with a suitable 183mm(w) x 52mm (h) opening as shown above. The dashboard should be 4.75 mm – 5.56 mm thick in order to be able to support the  unit.

3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom, and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
   CAUTION: For proper operation of the player, the chassis must be mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within this limitation.

4. Place the unit in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with wire nuts or electrical tape. After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle ignition must be on). If the unit does not operate, re-check all wiring until the problem is corrected.

5. Make sure the player is right-side up, then carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.

6. Secure the rear of the unit to the car body using the mounting bolt and rubber cushion.
