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.

12-215 2.fm Page 7 We dnesday, July 14, 1999 2:48 PM
(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

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, 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.
