Power Connection |
Power Connection to Vehicle Battery (Option 2)
The sound system can be also powered by connection to your vehicle battery as an optional power supply.
See “Before You Start” section for installation precautions.
To avoid short circuits and any resulting damage to the sound system, the negative terminal of the car battery must be disconnected first.
We recommend a fuse and fuse holder (both not included) with minimum rating of 15 A are in line with the positive terminal of the vehicle battery.
The ground cable length should not exceed 18” (45.7 cm).
1.Connect the black wire of the cigarette lighter plug adapter to the chassis ground point.
2.Connect the red wire of the cigarette lighter plug adapter to the positive terminal of the vehicle battery using 12 - 14 gauge wire (not included).
We recommend installing a relay and 15 A fuse and fuse holder in line with the vehicle battery (Relay, fuse and fuse holder are not included). See the illustration below.
3.Connect the cigarette lighter plug of the sound system into the cigarette lighter plug adapter. When the power supply is connected, the power LED indicator lights up.

If prompted for password input on your mobile device, input “0000”.
If no Bluetooth device is paired within two minutes, the sound system will automatically exit pairing mode. In this case, you need to repeat the steps above to re-enter the pairing mode.
3.After pairing, select and play audio files on your mobile device, and audio will be streamed to the sound system. Use the volume control on the connected device to adjust volume.
To maximize audio performance, set the volume of the Bluetooth device to a minimum 75% of the total volume before Bluetooth connection.
After pairing, the sound system will be automatically connected to your mobile device each time the two are turned on.
Operating the sound system consumes the vehicle battery. To avoid battery exhaustion, be sure to run the vehicle engine when operating the sound system.
Operational range can be reduced by any obstacle between the sound system and the device.
If the connected device is out of the effective range from the sound system, the device will be automatically disconnected. The device will be automatically re-connected if it is within the effective range again.
