Installation Considerations

The following is a list of tools needed for installation:

•Volt/Ohm Meter

•Wire strippers

•Wire crimpers

•Wire cutters

•#2 Phillips screwdriver

•Battery post wrench

This section focuses on some of the vehicle considerations for installing your new source unit. Pre-planning your system layout and best wiring routes will save installation time. When deciding on the layout of your new system, be sure that each component will be easily accessible for making adjustments.

If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, have it installed by a qualiﬁed Lightning Audio technician.

Before installation, disconnect the battery negative (-) terminal to prevent damage to the unit, ﬁre and/or possible injury.

Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:

1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install the unit.

2. For safety, disconnect the negative lead from the battery prior to beginning the installation.

3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting your unit in place.

4. Route all of the RCA cables close together and away from any high current wires.

5. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation and to minimize signal or power loss.

6. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when working on any vehicle.

7. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle provides the best protection.

8. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the ﬁrewall.

9. ALWAYS protect the battery and electrical system from damage with proper fusing. Install the appropriate fuse holder and fuse on the +12V power wire within 18” (45.7 cm) of the battery terminal.

10. When grounding to the chassis of the vehicle, scrape all paint from the metal to ensure a good, clean ground connection. Grounding connections should be as short as possible and always be connected to metal that is welded to the main body, or chassis, of the vehicle. Seatbelt bolts should never be used for connecting to ground.

Mounting Locations

The mounting position of your source unit will have a great effect on the performance of your in-dash Media Player. The source unit can be installed in a wide range of operating locations. However, care should be taken to ensure optimum performance.

Instrument Panel

Mounting the source unit in the instrument panel provides optimum access. The source unit should be securely mounted using the “Standard Mount” or “ISO-DIN Mount” method to ensure optimum Media Player performance.

Center Console

Mounting the source unit in the center console also provides optimum access. Be sure the installation does not interfere with the operation of the gear shift or parking brake.

Glove Box

Mounting the source unit in the glove box is adequate, but does not provide easy access. Glove box mounting should only be done if “Instrument Panel” or ”Center Console,” mounting is not acceptable (i.e., maintaining integrity of older vehicles with metal dashboards.)

Under Dash

Mounting the source unit under the dash is adequate, but does not provide easy access. Under dash mounting should only be done if “Instrument Panel,” ”Center Console” or ”Glove Box” mounting is not acceptable. Mount the source unit off to the side of the driver’s area to reduce interference with the parking brake, gear shift, or operating pedals.

NOTE: The source unit should have a mounting angle within ±20° from horizontal.

Engine Compartment

Never mount the source unit in the engine compartment. Mounting the source unit in the engine compartment will void your warranty.

the preset memory bank of the number button for the current band.

3). To scan for each preset station or auto search for the strongest stations

1) When pressing and holding the APS button for more than 1 second, the radio searches from the current frequency and checks the signal strength level until the 6 strongest stations are found. And then the 6 strongest stations are preset to the corresponding preset memory numbered bank. The auto-storage operation is implemented in the each selected band. When the auto-storage operation is ﬁnished, the radio executes Preset scan.

2) When pressing the APS button or A.P button brieﬂy, the radio searches for each preset station in the current band and holds at that preset station for 5 seconds, and then searches again.

4. To search for stations with a PTY (PROGRAMTYPE) program (RDS only)

Press and hold PTY/MODE on main unit to select one of PTY programs such as:

POP M- - NEWS-- off. While selecting POP M or NEWS, pressing one of the 6 preset buttons brieﬂy and repeatedly can select your desired PTY program as described in preset buttons. When turning on a PTY program, the PTY program and PTY word is ﬂashed on LCD. After selecting a desired PTY program and no operation for 2 seconds, it will search for the station of the PTY program. During 1 loop, if the desired station of the PTY programs not found, PTY NONE is displayed, then returns to previous normal radio and PTY icon disappears.

* When PTY mode is on, the 6 number buttons are shared as follows:

PTY music group -------------------------- PTY speech group

1. POP M, ROCK M 1. NEWS, AFFAIRS, INFO

2. EASY M, LIGHT M 2. SPORT, EDUCATE, DRAMA

3. CLASSICS, OTHER M 3. CULTURE, SCIENCE, VARIED

4. JAZZ, COUNTRY 4. WEATHER, FINANCE, CHILDREN

AF [ALTERNATIVE FREQUENCIES] mode

When pressed brieﬂy, AF switching mode is selected and the state of AF switching mode is displayed by AF segment in display.

Segment off: AF switching mode off.

Segment on: AF switching mode on, and has RDS information.

Segment ﬂashing: AF switching mode on, but RDS information is not received yet.

When AF switching mode is selected, the radio checks the signal strength of AF all the time. The interval of checking time of each AFs depends on the signal strength of the current station, from a few minutes for strong station to a few seconds for a weak station. Every time that a new AF is stronger than the current station, it switches over to that frequency for a very short time, and the NEW FREQUENCY is displayed for 1-2 seconds. Because the mute time of AF switching or checking time is very short, it is almost inaudible in case of normal program. During FM mode, when AF is on, SEEK, (SCAN), AUTO-MEMORY function can only receive and save RDS program.

TA [TRAFFIC ANNOUNCEMENT] mode

When TA mode is on (TA is displayed on LCD), it will begin to seek TA station and TA SEEK will be displayed on LCD.
