INSTALLATION/CONNECTION

Warning

• The unit can only be used with a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
• Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal before wiring and mounting.
• Do not connect Battery wire (yellow) and Ignition wire (red) to the car chassis or Ground wire (black) to prevent a short circuit.
• To prevent short circuit:
  • Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape.
  • Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.
