This unit is designed to operate on 10,8 – 14,4 V DC power supply. If your vehicle does not have this system, a voltage inverter is required. The device also requires connecting to negative of the car.
Choose the mounting location where the unit will not interfere with the normal driving function of the driver. Install the unit where it does not get in the driver‘s way and cannot injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop. DO NOT install the unit or any cable in a location where:
- it may obstruct the steering wheel and gearshift lever operations,
  it may obstruct the operation of safety devices such as air bags
- it may obstruct visibility
- there is not enough ventilation provided
Avoid installing the unit where it would be subject to high temperature, such as from direct sunlight, hot air, or a heater, or where it would be subject to dust, dirt or excessive vibration. Do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture nor use near strong magnetic fields. Do not handle this appliance with wet hands.
Make sure all the connections are executed in a proper manner. Reversed connection will cause short circuit and damage.
Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily and make sure it is all connected up properly and the unit and the system work properly.
If the fuse blows, check the power connection and replace the fuse with one of the same specified rating. If the fuse blows frequently, consult an authorized service point for check-up/repair.
To prevent short circuits, cover the terminals of the UNUSED leads with insulating tape.
Make sure that the ignition is off before connecting the device.
Make sure to connect the yellow and red power supply cables after all other cables are already connected.
The heat sink becomes hot after use. Be careful not to touch it when removing this unit.
At the time of installation, be sure to fix all wires (wires both from this unit and from the car itself) in a way that any wires cannot come into contact with heat sinks on the rear and side of the unit.
Installation illustrations show a typical installation. However, you should make adjustments corresponding to your specific car. If you have any questions or require information regarding installation kits, consult your car dealer.

Safety precautions

DO NOT operate this device while driving, as this may lead to a traffic accident.

So after prolonged listening, what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. To guard against this, set your volume to a safe level before your hearing adapts and leave it there.
Listen for reasonable periods of time:

- Be sure to use your equipment reasonably and take appropriate breaks.
