• Refer any repairs to a qualified BOSS AUDIO SYSTEMS Service Center.
• The BPS4B should be powered directly by a vehicle battery.
• When wiring directly to the vehicle battery, be sure to disconnect the battery’s negative terminal wire before starting any wiring procedures, if extending the main power wire, it is suggested that an optional fuse and fuse holder (not included) with minimum rating of 20 Amperes be in-line with the positive battery terminal.
• he ground cable length should not exceed 18-inches (See wiring diagram pg 3).

CAUTION!! Do not ground or short the PINK antenna wire.

BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT

To avoid potential shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the (—) battery cable before installation. Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.
When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating specified on this product.
To avoid short-circuiting, cover any disconnected leads with insulating tape. It is especially important to insulate any unused wires, which if left uncovered may cause a short circuit. When connecting other devices to this product, refer to the manual for the product to be connected. The black cable is ground. Make sure to connect the ground wire first.

Ensure that the ground cable is properly connected to a metal part of the vehicle body frame or, directly to the battery if your vehicle does not have a grounded chassis frame. The ground cables of this product and a second powered system must be connected to the frame separately with different screws. If the screw for the ground wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire or malfunction.
