WARNING

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.

¤

•  Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and 

experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting and wiring 
work to professionals.

•  Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power 

supply.

•  Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight 

or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too 
much dust or the possibility of water splashing.

•  Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. 

If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.

•  If the power is not turned ON (“PROTECT” is displayed), 

the speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the 
chassis 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.

•  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.
