  • To prevent short circuits:
    – Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape.
    – Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.
    – Secure the wires with cable clamps and wrap the vinyl tape around the wires that come into contact with metal parts to protect the wires.

Caution

  • For safety’s sake, leave wiring and mounting to professionals. Consult the car audio dealer.
  • Install this unit in the console of your vehicle. Do not touch the metal parts of this unit during and shortly after use of the unit. Metal parts such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.
  • Do not connect the wires of speakers to the car chassis or Ground wire (black), or connect them in parallel.
  • Mount the unit at an angle of less than 30°.
  • If your vehicle wiring harness does not have the ignition terminal, connect the Ignition wire (red) to the terminal on the vehicle’s fuse box which provides a 12 V DC power supply and is turned on and off by the ignition key.
  • Keep all cables away from heat-dissipated metal parts.
  • After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
  • If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching the car’s chassis, then replace the old fuse with one that has the same rating.
