Accessories/ Installation Procedure  
Accessories  
2WARNING  
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire  
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short  
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those  
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.  
1
..........1  
..........1  
..........6  
..........6  
..........1  
If the power is not turned ON (or it is ON, but will be OFF  
immediately), the speaker wire may have a short circuit  
or touched the chasis of the vehicle and the protection  
function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker  
wire should be checked.  
If your car’s ignition does not have an ACC position,  
connect the ignition wires to a power source that can be  
turned on and off with the ignition key. If you connect  
the ignition wire to a power source with a constant  
voltage supply, as with battery wires, the battery may die.  
If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so  
that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and  
opening.  
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching  
to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with  
one with the same rating.  
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other  
similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove  
the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the  
terminals.  
Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to  
which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail  
to work if you share the - wires or ground them to any  
metal part in the car.  
When only two speakers are being connected to the  
system, connect the connectors either to both the front  
output terminals or to both the rear output terminals  
(do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect  
the + connector of the left speaker to a front output  
terminal, do not connect the - connector to a rear  
output terminal.

Installation Procedure  
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from  
the ignition and disconnect the - battery.  
2. Make the proper input and output wire  
connections for each unit.  
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.  
After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,  
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.  
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the  
following order: ground, battery, ignition.  
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the  
unit.  
6. Install the unit in your car.  
7. Reconnect the - battery.  
8. Press the reset button.
