Connecting the System
Before installing this navigation system
• This navigation system is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding.
Check the battery voltage of your vehicle before installation.
To prevent damage
• When disconnecting a connector, pull the connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as you
may pull it out of the connector.
• This navigation system cannot be installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC
(accessory) position on the ignition switch.
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. It is especial-
ly important to insulate all unused speaker leads, which if left uncovered may cause a
short circuit.
• Attach the connectors of the same color to the corresponding colored port, i.e., blue con-
nector to the blue port, black to black, etc.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units,
then make connections accordingly.
• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, do not directly ground the
≠
side of the
speaker lead or connect the
≠
sides of the speaker leads together. Be sure to connect the
≠
side of the speaker lead to the
≠
side of the speaker lead on this navigation system.
• If the RCA pin jack on this navigation system will not be used, do not remove the caps
attached to the end of the connector.
• When the “
Auto ANT
” mode is set to “
Radio
”, the vehicle’s antenna can be stowed by
following the instructions below.
– Change the source from radio (AM or FM) to another source
– Turn the source off
– Turn off the ignition switch (ACC OFF)
• If the “
Auto ANT
” mode is set to “
Power
”, the vehicle’s antenna can be stowed only
when the ignition switch is turned off (ACC OFF).
