the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on  
the car are working properly.  
Mount the unit so that the mounting angle  
is 30° or less.  
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires  
e not touching to cause a short circuit,  
then replace the old fuse with one that has  
the same rating.  
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).

(ground), you may caue a short circuit,  
that in turn may start a fire. Always connect  
those wires to the power source running  
through the fuse box.  
Disconnect the battery's negative terminal  
and make all electrical connections before  
installing the unit.  
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape  
or other similar material. If no connections  
are made, do not let the wire come out  
from the tab to prevent short circuit.  
Be sure to ground this unit to the car's
