Note:

• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and
negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre­ational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery
voltage.

• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to
disconnect the ≠ battery cable before beginning
installation.

• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on con­necting the power amp and other units, then make
connections correctly.

• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive
tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape
around them where they lie against metal parts.

• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any
moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake
and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that
get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insu­lation of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a
danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehi­cle body.

• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the
engine compartment to connect to the battery.
This will damage the lead insulation and cause a
very dangerous short.

• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protec­tion circuit may fail to work when it should.

• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting
the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit
and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of
the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

• When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of
the rating prescribed on this unit.

• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never
wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or
the left and right ≠ speaker leads are common.

1

• Speakers connected to this unit must be high­power types with minimum rating of 50 W and
impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers
with output and/or impedance values other than
those noted here may result in the speakers catch­ing fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.

• When this product’s source is switched ON, a
control signal is output through the blue/white
lead. Connect to an external power amp’s system
remote control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay
control terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the
car features a glass antenna, connect to the anten­na booster power supply terminal.

• When an external power amp is being used with
this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white
lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do
not connect the blue/white lead to the power ter­minal of the auto-antenna. Such connection could
cause excessive current drain and malfunction.

• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected
lead with insulating tape. Especially, insulate the
unused speaker leads without fail. There is a pos­sibility of short-circuiting if the leads are not insu­lated.

• To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of
the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side
is black. Connect the connectors of the same col­ors correctly.

• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not
have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition
switch, the red lead of the unit should be connect­ed to a terminal coupled with ignition switch
ON/OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehi­cle battery may be drained when you are away
from the vehicle for several hours. (Fig. 1)

• The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead
separately from the ground of high-current prod­ucts such as power amps.
If you ground the products together and the
ground becomes detached, there is a risk of dam­age to the products or fire.

• Cords for this product and those for other prod­ucts may be different colors even if they have the
same function. When connecting this product to
another product, refer to the supplied Installation
manuals of both products and connect cords that
have the same function.

Installation

Note:

• Before finally installing the unit, connect the
wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connect­ed up properly, and the unit and the system work
properly.

• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure
proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts
can cause malfunctions.

• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation
requires the drilling of holes or other modifica­tions of the vehicle.

• Install the unit where it does not get in the dri­ver’s way and cannot injure the passenger if there
is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.

• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it
overheats, so don’t install the unit anywhere hot

— for instance, near a heater outlet.

• If installation angle exceeds 60° from horizontal,

the unit might not give its optimum performance.

Installing the Steering Remote Control Unit

WARNING

• Avoid installing this unit in such a location where
the operation of safety devices such as airbags is
prevented by this unit. Otherwise, there is a dan­ger of a fatal accident.

• Avoid installing this unit in such a location where
the operation of the steering wheel and the
gearshift lever may be prevented. Otherwise, it
may result in a traffic accident.

CAUTION

• Installation of this unit requires specialized skills
and experience. Installation of this unit should be
entrusted to a dealer from whom you purchased
this unit.

• Install this unit using only the parts supplied with
this unit. If other parts are used, this unit may be
damaged or could dismount itself, which leads to
an accident or trouble.

• Install this unit as required by this manual.
Failure to do so may cause an accident.

• Do not install this unit near the doors where rain­water is likely to be spilled on the unit. Incursion
of water into the unit may cause smoke or fire.

WARNING

• Fix this unit securely to the steering wheel with
the belt attached to the unit. If this unit is loose, it
disturbs driving stability, which may result in a
traffic accident.

• Do not attach this unit to the outer circumference
of the steering wheel. Otherwise, it disturbs dri­ving stability, causing a traffic accident. Always
attach this unit to the inner circumference of the
steering wheel as shown. (Fig. 15)

Note:

• Do not install this unit in such a place as may
obstruct the driver’s view.

• Since interior layout differs depending on the
type of vehicle, the ideal installation location for
the unit also differs. When installing the unit,
select a location that assures optimum transmis­sion of signals from the unit to the car stereo.
