Before installing this product

• Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the (-) battery cable before installation.

To prevent damage

WARNING

• The black cable is ground. When installing this product or power amp (if purchased), make sure to connect the ground wire first. Ensure that the ground wire is properly connected to metal parts of the car’s body. The ground wire of the power amp and the one of this product or any other device must be connected to the car separately with different screws. If the screw for the ground wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire generation of smoke or malfunction.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this product.
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. It is especially important to insulate all unused speaker leads, which if left uncovered may cause a short circuit.

Installation notes

• Do not install this product in places subject to high temperatures or humidity, such as:
  • Places close to a heater, vent or air conditioner.
  • Places exposed to direct sunlight, such as on top of the dashboard.
  • Places that may be exposed to rain, such as close to the door or on the vehicle’s floor.
• Install this product in an area strong enough to bear its weight. Choose a position where this product can be firmly installed, and install it securely. If this product is not securely installed, the current location of the vehicle cannot be displayed correctly.
• Install this product horizontally on a surface within 0 to 20 degrees tolerance (within 5 degrees to the left or right). Improper installation of the product with the surface tilted more than these tolerances increased the potential for errors in the vehicle’s location display, and might otherwise cause reduced display performance.
• When installing, to ensure proper heat dispersal when using this product, make sure you leave ample space behind the rear panel and wrap any loose cables so they are not blocking the vents.
• In order to prevent interference, set the following items as far as possible from this product, other cables or leads:
  • FM, AM antenna and its lead
  • GPS antenna and its lead
  • DAB+ radio antenna and its lead
  • Digital TV antenna and its lead

In addition, you should lay or route each antenna lead as far as possible from other antenna leads. Do not bind, lay or route them together, or cross them. Electromagnetic noise will increase the potential for errors in the vehicle’s location display.

Be sure to run the vehicle engine while using this product. Using this product without running the engine can drain the battery.
