RMD 801DAB-BT MANUAL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important Warnings to Take Note of BEFORE Commencing Installation
Damage Caused By Incorrect Installation or Usage is NOT Covered By Warranty.
PLEASE Take the Time to Read the Installation Notes Carefully.
To Validate the Warranty Please Ensure That the Unit is Installed by a Professional, VAT registered
Car Audio Installation Company.
To avoid short in your vehicles electrical system, be sure to disconnect the battery cable before beginning installation.
The unit is intended for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing the unit in a recreational vehicle,
truck, or bus, check that the battery voltage is 12 volts.
Remove the two transport screws from the top of the unit before installation.
The black lead is ground. A good chassis ground requires a tight connection to ground. The area should be free from rust, paint or
any form of dirt. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of high-current products such as power amps. If you ground the
products together and the ground becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the products or fire.
Be sure to connect the colour coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to malfunction or
damage the vehicle’s electrical system. Cords for this product and those for other products may be different colours even if they have
the same function. When connecting this product to another product, refer to the supplied installation manuals of both products and
connect cords that have the same function.
Be sure to connect the negative (-) speaker leads to the negative (-) speaker terminal. Never connect the negative (-) speaker leads
to chassis ground.
This unit is only designed for use with 4 speakers. Do not combine outputs for use with 2 speakers. Do not ground negative speaker
leads to the chassis ground.
Speakers connected to this unit must be high-power units with a minimum rating of 45W and impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting
speakers with output and/or impedance values other than those noted there will result in damage to the head unit and the speakers.
Check the condition off your speakers carefully - connecting the unit to old of degraded speakers may result in a fault which
will damage the audio IC and invalidate the warranty.
If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition switch, the red lead of the unit should
be connected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery may be drained
when you are away from the vehicle for several hours.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape around them where they lie against
metal parts. To avoid short-circuiting, cover all disconnected lead with insulating tape. There is a possibility of short-circuiting if the
leads are not insulated.
Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear lever and handbrake. Do not route wiring in places
that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short
circuiting to the vehicle’s body.
Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the engine compartment to connect to the battery. This will damage the lead’s insulation and cause a very dangerous short.
Do not shorten any leads, if you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should.
Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit and tapping into the lead. The
current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.
Since a unique audio I/C circuit is employed, never wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or the left and right - speaker
leads are common.
When this product’s source is switched ON, a control signal is outputted through the orange lead. Connect to an external power amp’s
system remote control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300mA 12V DC). If the car features a glass antenna,
connect to the antenna booster power supply terminal.
When an external power amp is being used with this system, do not connect the orange lead to the amp’s power terminal. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and a major malfunction. Refer to the relevant owner’s manual for details on connecting
the power amp and other units, then make the connections correctly.
Do not block any vents or heater panels, Blocking them will cause heat to build up and may result in fire.
Make sure that the unit has a good chassis ground. A good ground connection will eliminate most electrical noise. A good chassis
ground requires a tight connection to the vehicles metal chassis. The area around the ground connection should be clean, bare metal
without rust, paint, plastic or dirt for a good electrical connection.
If noise is still experienced when the motor of the vehicle accelerates, a choke should be placed in line with the power to the unit.
The installation company will know what is required.
When replacing the fuse(s) the replacement must be of the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder. Never replace a fuse with
another of a different value. If the fuse blows again please contact your instsallation company.
Double check that all wiring and connections are correct before re-connecting the battery and turning on the unit.
After completing the installation and before operating the unit, reconnect the battery, then press the (RES) button with a pointed object,
such as a ball-point pen to set to unit to it’s initial status. After pushing the button, wait a few seconds for the red light to flash.

INSTALLATION
Tools for Installation
Use the 2 removal wrenches of the old unit to take out the old unit and place with this brand new car radio. The following tools and supplies may also be needed for the installation:
Tools for Installation: Philips Screw-drivers /Machine Screws /Wire Stripper /Wire Cutter /Hammer /Pencil /Electrical Tape /Electric Drill
Supplies for Installation: Machine Screws /Crimp Connectors /14 Gauge Wire for Power Connections /14-16 Gauge Speaker Wires
The above are not supplied.
Before you install
Automotive audio equipment installations can be challenging even to the most experienced of installation technicians. We strongly recommend that this unit should be professionally installed by a VAT registered installer (this is a requirement to validate the warranty).
IMPORTANT: Remove the two transport screws from the top fo the unit before installing.
Remove the Old Unit from the Dashboard
1. Remove the outer trim frame.
DIN Front Mount
2. Insert the keys supplied with the
old unit into both sides of the unit
as shown in figure below until
they click. Pull to remove the old
unit from the dashboard.
DO NOT DISCONNECT WIRES
AT THIS TIME!
Mark Polarity of the Speaker Wires
Marking the polarity of the speaker wirers will make it easier to connect the existing speakers to your car radio. Consult wiring diagram
of existing head unit before disconnecting any wires. If you are not positive of the polarity of the existing wires from the speakers to the
head unit, install new wires.
1. While the old unit is playing, disconnect the wires from one speaker.
2. Take a length of masking tape and fold it around the wire so it forms a flag.
3. On the masking tape mark the polarity of the speaker wires (+&-), as well as left or right, and front or rear.
4. Double check that you marked the first speaker correctly by checking that the speaker wires are the same at the head unit.
5. Repeat this procedure for all of the speakers.
6. Mark the power, ground, and any other wires also.
