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 supplied 

screws. Using wrong screws, 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 key switch 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 wires to 
a constant-voltage power source, 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 it is 
closed or opened.

•  If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not 

touching other parts to cause a short circuit, and 
then replace the old fuse with one with a new the 
same rating.

•  Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other 

similar materials. To prevent a short circuit, do not 
remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected 
wires and terminals.

•  Connect the speaker wires correctly to the 

corresponding terminals. 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 connecting only two speakers, connect 

the connectors either to both of the front output 
terminals or to both of the rear output terminals 
(do not mix front and rear terminals). 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 installing the unit, check whether the brake 

lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working 
properly.

1.  To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the 

ignition and disconnect the - battery.

2.  Make the proper input and output wire 

connections for each unit.

3.  Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.
4.  Connect the wiring harness wires in the following 

order: ground, battery, ignition.

5.  Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.
6.  Install the unit in your car.
7.  Reconnect the - battery.
8.  Press the reset button.
