INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE INSTALLATION
Before you install your stereo, read all the instructions in this owner’s manu­al. You should be able to answer all of these questions about your vehicle’s electrical and sound systems.
• Which of the stereo’s wires is the power wire?
• Which terminal in my vehicle’s fuse box is for accessories?
• How do I connect a wire to the fuse box?
• Which stereo wires are line-level outputs and which are speaker outputs?
Also, be aware that installation in your vehicle might require cutting or m odi­fying your vehicle.
Preparing the Mounting Area
Before you mount the stereo, make sure you have all the necessary mat e­rials. Then confirm that the stereo fits your vehicle’s mounting area.
Notes:
• This autosound stereo system is a DIN-E size uni t that requires a 2 inch (57 mm) high by 7 (190 mm) wide by 7 mm) deep mounting area.
• If the mounting area is too large, you might be able to mount the stereo with an in-dash installation kit, available at your local
1
/4-inch (186
1
/2-inch
1
/4-
RadioShack store. Follow the installation kit’s instructions to mount the stereo.
Cautions:
• Make sure your vehicle’s mount­ing area is as level as possible. If you cannot mount the stereo exactly level, make sure the ste­reo will not tilt up more than 30 degrees when it is mounted.
• Be sure to avoid obstructions be­hind the mounting surface.
Routing Speaker Wires
If you install speakers, avoid routing the speaker wires near moving parts or sharp edges. You can usually route them along the wiring channel be­neath the vehicle’s door facings by carefully removing the molding that holds the carpet in place. After you route the speaker wires, replace the molding.
Removing the Shipping Screw
The shipping screw helps protect the stereo’s CD player from being dam­aged during shipment.
Before you mount the stereo, use a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the shipping screw from the top of t he stereo.
If you do not remove the shipping screw, you cannot remove the sup­plied sleeve from the stereo and the CD player will not work.

(illus)
Note: Save the shipping screw in case you ever want to mail or ship the stereo. You can secure it to the back of the stereo with a piece of tape.
MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
The supplied harness with the 14-pin connector includes all the lead wires you need to connect the stereo to ground, power, some optional compo­nents, and speakers.
Important: Do not cut these wires. If you cut any wire, you cannot obtain a refund or exchange on this product. RadioShack will provide warranty ser­vice if you cut a wire and find the prod­uct is defective.
Cautions:
• For added safety and to protect your stereo, disconnect the cable from your vehicle battery’s nega­tive (–) terminal before you begin.
(illus)
• Be sure your speakers can handle 64 watts of power (16 watts per channel). Each speaker must have an impedance of at least 4 ohms. Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of speak­ers.
• You must connect the GROUND, +12V TO IGNITION, and +12V TO BATTERY wires first, then make all other connections as described in the following sections before you plug the harness with the 14­pin connector into the stereo. If you do not make connections in the order shown, damage to the stereo is possible if any wire con­nections are made incorrectly.
You might need additional wire, de­pending on your individual auto sound system, to complete the connections. Your local RadioShack sto re carries a full line of wire a nd wire mana gement accessories.
• You m ust connect a separate wire to each speaker terminal as described in the following proce­dure. Do not use a common wire or chassis ground for an y s peaker connection.

Using an Adapter Harness
If you are replacing an existing stereo, or if your vehicle has been factory­wired for autosound components, you might be able t o use an adapter har­ness to connect the power and speak ­ers. RadioShack stores sell adapter harnesses for most vehicles.
Follow the directions that come with the adapter harness to temporarily connect the power and speakers.
Connecting Ground, Power, and Optional Components
Follow these steps to connect the har­ness with the 14-pin connector to ground, primary and memory backup power, and optional components.

2. Connect the black ground wire to a chassis ground, such as a metal screw attached to a metal pa rt of the vehicle’s frame. Be sure that the screw is not insulated from the chassis by a plastic part.
3. Connect the red power wire (with in-line fuse holder) to a point in your vehicle’s fuse block that has power only when you turn the vehicle’s key to either the acces­sory (ACC) or START position.

This connection turns on the ste­reo when you turn on the ignition or turn the key to ACC, and turns off the stereo when you turn off the ignition. This prevents your vehicle’s battery from being drained if you leave the stereo on when you turn off the ignition.
4. Connect the yellow power/mem­ory wire (with transformer and in­line fuse holder) to your vehicle battery’s positive (+) terminal or to a point in your vehicle’s fuse block that provides a continuous source of 12 volts.
This connection provides power for the stereo’s components, and continuous power for the stereo’s memory when the ignition is turned off.
5. Connect the blue/white wire to any optional equipment, designed to run from a switched source, that you want the stereo to turn on and off (such as a booster or a power antenna).
Connecting an Equali zer/ Booster
If you are connecting the stereo to a separate equalizer or booster, you need additional wires (not included).
To increase the total power output from your system, connect the R (right) and L (left) line output jacks on the back of the stereo and blue/white wire, if necessary, to the equalizer or booster.
(illus - show (Blue/White)

This wire does not provide power to the components. It s imply turns them on or off. If you do not use this wire, secure it with a wire tie and do not let it touch metal.
Connecting Two Pairs o f Speakers
If you are using both front and rear speakers, follow these steps to con­nect the harness with the 14-pin con­nector to the speakers.

CD PLAYER OPERATION
Cautions:
• Play only CDs that have this mark on them:
• The CD player has a wide dynamic range. As a result, if you turn your stereo’s volume up too high during soft (low volume) sec­tions of a program, your speakers might be damaged when a sud­den loud passage occurs.
• If the CD player is jolted during play , the rotation speed might sud­denly change or the CD player might make an unusual noise. This is not a malfunction.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus High-Power In-Dash AM /FM Stereo CD Player is a n example of su­perior design and craftsmanship. The following suggestions will help you care for the stereo so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the stereo dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids can contain minerals that can corrode electronic circuits.
Handle the stereo gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage the circuit boards and case and can cause it to work improperly.
Keep the stereo away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
CLEANER
new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter­gents to clean the stereo.
Modifying or tampering with the stereo’s internal parts can cause a malfunction and might invalidate your stereo’s warranty and void you r FCC au thorization to operat e it. If your stereo is not performing as it should, tak e i t to y our l ocal RadioShack store for assistance.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
Your stereo might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating proper­ly. To determine whether your stereo is causing the interference, turn off your ste­reo. If the interference go es away, your stereo is causing i t. Try to eliminate the interference by:
• Moving your stereo away from the receiver
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help
If you cannot eliminate the interference, the FCC requires that you stop using your stereo.
Wipe the stereo with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking

CD CARE TIPS
Even though a CD is very durable, you should handle it with care. We recom ­mend the following precautions.
• Keep the CD in its protective case or sleeve when you a re not play­ing it.
• Handle a CD by its edges to avoid fingerprints which can prevent the CD player’s laser beam from accurately reading the CD. Your local RadioShack store sells a suitable CD cleaner kit.
• Do not write on either side of the CD, particularly the non-label side. (Signals are read from the non-label side.)
• Keep the CD dry. A water drop can act as a lens and affect the laser beam’s focus.
• If you park your vehicle in the sun, temperatures inside the vehicle can easily reach level s that could damage your CDs. To prevent heat damage, avoid leaving your CDs in your vehicle.
If a CD skips when you try to play it, it might be scratched. Your local Ra­dioShack store sells a Scratch ,n Fix kit (Cat. No. 42-127) that might help remove the scratch and stop the skip. See also “Troubleshooting” on Page 24.
REPLACING A FUSE
If the clock resets or stored stations are lost when the ignition is off, you might need to replace the yellow con­tinuous power wire’s fuse with the supplied spare fuse. If the stereo does not operate, you might need to re­place the red power wire’s fuse with the supplied spare fuse. Check both fuses.
1. Disconnect the cable from the vehicle battery’s negative (–) ter­minal.
2. To open the yellow continuous power wire’s fuse holder, pull the latches apart until it opens. Then, if the fuse is blown, gently pull one of the fuse ho lder’s wires up and pull the fuse off of both wire cl ips inside the fuse holder.
(illus - show yellow fuse holder)
3. To open the red power wi re’s fuse holder, push together and twist the fuse holder’s parts until they spring apart. Then remove the fuse if it is blown.

with the proper rating. The yellow continuous power wir e’s fus e must be 10 amps, and the red power wir e’s fuse m ust be 1.0 amp.
Caution: Make sure you replace a fuse on ly w ith ano ther fu se of th e same rating.
5. Reassemble the yellow continu­ous power wire’s fuse holder by placing the wires back inside the holder then squeezing it together until it snaps shut.
6. Reassemble the red power wire’s fuse holder by inserting the fuse and pushing together and twisting the two parts until they latch.
7. Reconnect the cable to the vehi­cle battery’s negative (–) terminal.
