• Never splice into the power lead to supply
other equipment with power.
• After installation and wiring you should check the
normal operation of other electrical equipment.
• Make sure any leads do not interfere with driving
or getting into and out of the vehicle.
• Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short-circuiting.
• Do not operate the unit for prolonged periods with
the engine off. Operating the audio system with
the engine turned off will drain the battery.
• To prevent accidents, keep the volume of your radio
at a level at which you can hear outside noises such as
emergency sirens and train crossing warnings. Prolonged
exposure to high volume levels may result in hearing loss.
• This unit requires 12 volts to both the red and yellow power leads.
The unit will not work without power to both of these leads.
• Disconnect the negative (-) battery cable before beginning
installation. Verify the battery ground by checking that one
wire is connected to the vehicle’s starter mounting bolt or
engine block and the other to the vehicle’s chassis using at
least 8 gauge wire. Make sure the alternator or generator
connections are secure and free from corrosion, rust or dirt.
• This unit is designed for operation with a negative ground
12 volt DC battery system. Do not operate this unit with other
battery systems, especially an 18 or 24 volt DC battery system
or a positive ground system. If you have a 6 volt system, you
need to either convert to 12 volt DC or purchase a separate
inverter that would increase the voltage to 12 volts.
NOTE: The inverter needs to be rated a 10 amps or higher in order
for the radio to operate properly.
