ous power to maintain a clock or other functions.)
If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car battery
lead by grounding one lead of the test bulb to the chassis
and checking the remaining exposed wires from the cut
radio connector plug.
If your car is not wired for an audio unit:
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the battery,
usually marked BAT.
Speakers (not supplied)
Identify the car speaker leads. There are two leads for each
speaker, usually color coded.
A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the speaker
they are connected with is to test the leads using a 1.5 V
AA battery as follows.
Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and stroke
the other lead across the other pole. You will hear a scrap-
ing sound in a speaker if you are holding a speaker lead.
If not, keep testing different lead combinations until you
have located all the speaker leads. When you label them,
include the speaker location for each.
❏
Connect All Leads
Now that you have identified all the wires in the car, you're
ready to begin connecting them to the LCD monitor wires.
Electrical Connections (
a
page 18-27) shows the proper
connections and color coding of the leads.
We strongly recommend that you test the unit before mak-
ing a final installation.
You can set the unit on the floor and make temporary con-
nections to test the unit. Use electrical tape to cover all
exposed wires.
Important:
Connect the red power lead last, after you
have made and insulated all other connections.
Ground
Connect the black ground lead of the power connector to
the metal car chassis.
Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram for the
proper hookups. Follow the diagram carefully to avoid
damaging the speakers and the stereo unit.
The speakers used must be able to handle more than 70 W
(Center Speaker: 35W) of audio power. If using an optional
audio power, the speakers should be able to handle the
maximum amplifier output power. Speakers with low input
ratings can be damaged.
Speaker impedance should measure 4–8
Ω
, which is typi-
cally marked on most speakers. Lower or higher imped-
ance speakers will affect output and can cause both speak-
er and stereo unit damage.
Battery
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio wire or
to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.
Equipment
Connect any optional equipment according to the instruc-
tions furnished with the equipment. Read the operating
and installation instructions of any equipment you will
connect to this unit.
Power
Connect the red power lead to the correct car radio wire or
to the appropriate fuse port on the fuse block.
If the LCD monitor functions properly with all these con-
nections made, disconnect the wires and proceed to the
final installation.
❏
Final Installation
Lead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each connection is
insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires and fasten
them with tape so they will not fall down later. Now insert
the LCD monitor into the mounting collar.
Congratulations! After making a few final checks, you’re
ready to enjoy your new LCD monitor.
❏
Final Checks
1. Make sure that all wires are properly connected and
insulated.
2. Make sure that the LCD monitor is securely held in
the mounting collar.
3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for proper
operation.
If you have difficulties, consult your nearest authorized
professional installer for assistance.
Caution:
Never ground the speaker cords. For exam-
ple, do not use a chassis ground system or a three-
wire speaker common system. Each speaker must be
connected separately using parallel insulated wires. If
in doubt about how your car’s speakers are wired,
please consult with your nearest professional installer.

made.
4. Be sure to connect the battery lead (yellow) to the posi-
tive terminal (+) of the battery or fuse block (BAT) ter-
minal.
