WARNINGS / 警告
• You need the installation kits which corresponds to your car.
• If you have any questions or require information regarding installation kits, consult your JVC car audio
dealer or a company supplying kits.
• The unit can only be installed in a car with a 12 V DC power supply, negative ground.
• Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal and make all electrical connections before installing the unit.
• Connect speakers with a maximum power of more than 50 W (impedance of 4 Ω to 8 Ω). Otherwise,
change the <AMP GAIN> setting. (See page 15 of the INSTRUCTIONS.)
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not
remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old
fuse with one that has the same rating.
• Install this unit in the console of your vehicle.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.
• Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after installation.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working
properly.
• Do not touch the metal part of this unit during and shortly after the use of the unit. Metal part such as the
heat sink and enclosure become hot.
PRECAUTIONS on power supply and speaker connections
• DO NOT connect the speaker leads of the power cord to the car battery; otherwise, the unit will be
seriously damaged.
• BEFORE connecting the speaker leads of the power cord to the speakers, check the speaker wiring in
your car.
