INTRODUCTION

THANK YOU

BOX CONTENTS

Your IMS box should contain all the items shown in Figure 1:

WARNING!

Playing loud music in an automobile can hinder your ability to hear traffic and permanently damage your hearing. We recommend listening at low or moderate levels while driving your car. Infinity accepts no responsibility for hearing loss, bodily injury or property damage resulting from the use or misuse of this product.

INSTALLATION

IMPORTANT

To get the most out of your IMS’ features, we strongly recommend that installation be entrusted to a qualified professional. Although these instructions explain how to install, connect and set-up the IMS, they cannot show all of the different possible systems that can be assembled using the IMS. Please ask your authorized Infinity car audio dealer about professional installation.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS AND TIPS

• Always use protective eyewear when using tools

• Turn OFF the vehicle’s audio system and other electrical devices before beginning installation. disconnect the (–) negative lead from the vehicle’s battery.

• Check clearances on both sides of any planned mounting surface before drilling any holes or installing any screws. Remember that the screws can extend behind the mounting surface.

• At the installation locations, locate and make a note of all fuel lines, hydraulic brake lines, vacuum lines and electrical wiring. Use extreme caution when cutting or drilling in and around these areas.

• Before drilling or cutting holes, use a utility knife to remove unwanted fabric or vinyl to keep material from snagging in the drill bit.

• To minimize noise, when routing cables, keep input-signal cables away from power cables and speaker wires.

• When making connections, make certain they are secure and properly insulated.

• If the IMS’ fuse must be replaced, use only the same type and rating as the original. Do not substitute another kind.

INSTALLING THE CONTROL HEAD

We recommend finding a location for the Control Head first, and then finding a location for the Junction Box that is within the length of the Control Head’s integral 4m cable.

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION WARNINGS:

• Do not install the Control Head where it may obstruct your view through the

windshield, or of your vehicle’s indicator displays.

• Do not install the Control Head where it may hinder the function of safety

devices such as an airbag. Doing so may prevent the airbag from functioning properly in the event of an accident.

• Mount the Control Head in a location that is easily accessible.

1. Determine the location for the Control Head. Be sure to leave room to route the integral cable.

IMPORTANT: Select the mounting location carefully — once the adhesive strip has been adhered to the surface it is not possible to remove it and re-adhere it elsewhere.

2. Clean the mounting location with an alcohol swab or similar.

3. Remove the protective strip from one side of the adhesive strip and adhere it to the back of the Control Head.

4. Remove the remaining protective strip from the adhesive strip and adhere the Control Head to the mounting surface.

INSTALLING THE JUNCTION BOX

The Junction Box should be installed in an out-of-the-way location where you can route the input/output connections from all of the audio system’s components.

IMPORTANT: The Junction Box must be mounted within 4m of the Control Head

Use the 4 supplied #6 screws to secure the Junction Box to the mounting surface.

INSTALLING THE HANDS-FREE MICROPHONE

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION WARNINGS:

• Do not install the microphone where it may obstruct your view through the windshield, or of your vehicle’s indicator displays.

• Do not install the microphone where it may hinder the function of safety devices such as an airbag. Doing so may prevent the airbag from functioning properly in the event of an accident.

The hands-free microphone’s design allows it to work properly from a wide variety of installation locations. Experiment with different locations before permanently attaching the microphone or routing its cable. The microphone has a ‘butterfly’ clip that lets you attach it to a sun visor or similar location. A surface-mount mic holder is also included (see Figure 3). The holder has an adhesive pad on the bottom and is made of a flexible material so you can attach it to a curved surface. To attach the mic holder:

1. Clean the mounting surface with an alcohol swab or similar.

2. Remove the protective cover from the adhesive pad and adhere the mic holder to the

mounting surface.

3. Run the mic cable through the slot in the holder and tuck the microphone under the

holder’s ‘hood’, as shown in Figure 3.

4. Route the cable to the Junction Box and plug it into the Input 2 jack (see Figure 4, on page 4).
