Read all wiring precautions. If you are not sure of the connections, contact your
authorized Clarion dealer.
NOTE: The VMA6492 monitor displays video images only. It does not provide audio
output. Refer to the Applications, starting on page 5, of this owner’s manual
for proper connection to Clarion’s multimedia audio output devices.
1. Disconnect the negative (-) lead from the vehicle’s battery before making any
connections.
2. When creating passage holes through metal or plastic panels, use grommets to
eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling. This will protect power or
video wires from nicks or damaged causing a possible short circuit or failure.
3. When connecting the ground lead, fasten the ground lead (black) securely to a
clean metal plate on the vehicle. Use sandpaper to remove any paint from the
surface where the ground terminal is attached.
