This is the negative power source of the TourMaster-Lite unit. Connect to existing ground wires in the
vehicle or to a solid grounding point. A solid grounding point is considered a point at which there is
little to no resistance between the grounding point and the negative side of the vehicle battery.
Ensure that grounding points are large metal items, preferably connected to the frame of the vehicle.
