WARNINGS / 警告  
• You need the installation kits which corresponds to your car.  
您需要 與您的汽車相配套的安裝元件。  
如果您有問題,或需要 有關配套元件的資料,請向  
本機僅可安裝在以直流 12 V 供電,負極接地的車內。  
在安裝本機之,拔開電池的負極端子,並把所有電路都連接好。  
連接最大功率大於 50 W 的揚聲器(阻抗為 4 Ω – 8 Ω)。 否,請切換 <AMP GAIN> 設定。 (參閱使用  
說明的第 15 頁。)  
用絕緣帶或其他類似材料使未接上的電線絕緣。為防止電短路,請勿去未接上電線或端子兩端的保護蓋。  
JVC汽車音響分銷商或配套元件供應公司詢問。  
• If you have any questions or require information regarding installation kits, consult your JVC car audio  
dealer or a company supplying kits.  
• The unit can only be installed in a car with a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.  
• Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.  
• Connect speakers with a maximum power of more than 50 W (impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). Otherwise,  
change the <AMP GAIN> setting. (See page 15 of the INSTRUCTIONS.)  
• 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.  
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old  
fuse with one that has the same rating.  
如果保險 絲燒壞,首先請確認電線沒有接觸而導致短路,然後用相同負荷值的保險 絲更換舊的保險 絲。  
將本機安裝在車內的控制台上。  
安裝本機時安裝角度  
安裝畢後務必將本機的地線重 新接至車身。  
安裝本機後,請檢查車上的剎車燈,信號燈,雨刷等是否能正常工作。
