same for the other side to remove the springs from the both sides. (Figure 7)

2. Secure the mounting brackets to the chassis as shown in Figure 8. Holes are pre-tapped for TOYOTA and NISSAN vehicles; modification, such as drilling new holes, of the mounting brackets may be required for other models.

3. Wire as shown in Section 8.

4. Secure the unit in the dashboard, and then reassemble the dashboard and the centre panel.

6. REMOVING THE MAIN UNIT

1. When the rear of the main unit has been secured with the method shown in Figure 6 unfasten the special screw.

2. Remove the outer escutcheon.

3. Insert the hook plate between the spring and the universal mounting bracket, fit tab B of

the spring into hole of the hook plate, then pull the main unit out by the hook plate. (Insert both the right and left edges of the hook plate.) (Figure 9)

Note: Keep the hook plate. Y ou cannot remove the

main unit without disengaging the hook plate.

Note 1: In some cases, the centre panel may re-

quire some modification (trimming, filling, etc.).

Note 2: If a hook on the installation bracket inter-

feres with the unit, bend and flatten it with a nipper or a similar tool.

7. CAUTIONS ON WIRING

8. WIRE CONNECTION

1. Be sure to turn the power off before wiring.

2. Be particularly careful where you route the wires.

Keep them well away from the engine, and exhaust pipe, etc. Heat may damage the wires.

3. If the fuse should blow, check to see if the wiring is correct.

If it is, replace the fuse with a new one with the same amperage rating as the original.

4. When any fuse is to be replaced, pull out the fuse (15A) at the rear of the main unit and put in a new one (Fig.10).

CAUTION

After the connection, fix the lead by a clamp or insulation tape for protection.

5. When connecting the ground lead, fasten the ground lead (black) securely to a clean metal plate on the car. (Figure 11)

If the set is insufficiently grounded, it may not operate or there may be noise.

■ Connecting the Accessories

• Connection to the external amplifier

The external amplifier can be connected to the AUDIO 4CH. OUTPUT terminal (RCA pin jack) on the main unit. In other words, it can be connected provided the DSP is connected.

• Connection to the security camera for vehicle

The rear vision camera for vehicle can be connected to the system expansion terminal on the main unit. For detailed information, refer to the instruction sheet or manual for the rear vision camera.

Notes:

• A power supply box (sold separately) is required for connection of the main unit and the security camera.

• Connection to the DSP

When the DSP is connected, use the CeNET connector. The external amplifier is required when connecting the DSP.

• If the specified lead of the cellular phone is connected to the phone mute

lead of the source unit, the audio mute is available when the cellular telephone is used.
