Before Installation
Before installation of this unit, please note the
following precautions.
# WARNINGS
• 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.
• Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition wire
(red) and the battery wire (yellow). The power
supply must be connected to the wires via the
fuse.
# CAUTION
• Install this unit in the console of your vehicle.
Do not touch the metal part of this unit during
and shortly after the use of the unit. Metal part
such as the heat sink and enclosure become hot.
NOTE
• Mounting and wiring this product requires
skills and experience. For best safety, 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 ("There is an
error in the speaker wiring. Please check the
connections." 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,
such as with battery wires, the battery may be
drained.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the
unit so that the front panel will not hit the lid
when closing and opening.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren't
26
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.
• Do not press hard on the panel surface when
installing the unit to the vehicle. Otherwise scars,
damage, or failure may result.
• Reception may drop if there are metal objects
near the Bluetooth antenna.
