Warning  
Installing the unit (in-dash mounting)  
• 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.  
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape to prevent a short circuit.  
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after  
installation.  
Do the required wiring.

wire (black), or connect them in parallel.  
Bend the appropriate tabs to hold the  
mounting sleeve firmly in place.  
Mount the unit at an angle of less than 30º.  
• If your vehicle wiring harness does not have the ignition terminal,  
connect Ignition wire (red) to the terminal on the vehicle’s fuse box  
which provides 12 V DC power supply and is turned on and off by the  
ignition key.  
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers,  
wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.  
When installing without the mounting sleeve  
1
Remove the mounting sleeve and trim plate from  
the unit.
