Notes On Installation

• Disconnect negative battery terminal before starting installation. Consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual for proper instruction.

• The unit is designed for a 12Volt DC negative ground operation system only. Before installing the unit, confirm that your vehicle is a 12Volt DC negative ground system.

• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect connections may cause the unit to malfunction or damage the vehicle’s electrical system.

• Be sure to connect the negative (-) speaker leads to the negative (-) speaker terminal. Never connect negative (-) speaker leads to chassis ground.

• The unit is only designed for use with 4 speakers. Do not combine output for use with 2 speakers. Do not ground negative speaker leads to the chassis ground.

• Make sure all the connections are completely correct before turning on your unit.

• When replacing the fuse(s), the replacement must be of the same amperage as shown on the fuse holder.

• Do not block vents or heater panels. Blocking them will cause heat to build up inside and may result in fire.

• 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 the unit to its initial status.
