Note
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:

The Safety of Your Ears is in
Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing it
at a safe level—a level that lets the sound come
through clearly without annoying blaring or distortion and, most importantly, without affecting
your sensitive hearing. Sound can be deceiving.
Over time, your hearing “comfort level” adapts to
higher volumes of sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your
hearing. Guard against this by setting your
equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing
adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
! Set your volume control at a low setting.
! Slowly increase the sound until you can hear
it comfortably and clearly, without distortion.
! Once you have established a comfortable
sound level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE
FOLLOWING GUIDELINES:
! Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can’t hear what’s around you.
! Use caution or temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations.
! Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle; the use of headphones
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.

! Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and nega-
tive grounding only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.
! To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or mal-
function, be sure to follow the directions
below.
— Disconnect the negative terminal of the bat-
tery before installation.
— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhe-
sive tape. Wrap adhesive tape around wiring
that comes into contact with metal parts to
protect the wiring.
— Place all cables away from moving parts,
such as the shift lever and seat rails.
— Place all cables away from hot places, such
as near the heater outlet.
— Do not connect the yellow cable to the battery
by passing it through the hole to the engine
compartment.
— Cover any disconnected cable connectors
with insulating tape.
— Do not shorten any cables.
— Never cut the insulation of the power cable of
this unit in order to share the power with
other devices. The current capacity of the
cable is limited.
— Use a fuse of the rating prescribed.
— Never wire the negative speaker cable directly
to ground.
— Never band together negative cables of multi-
ple speakers.
! When this unit is on, control signals are sent
through the blue/white cable. Connect this
cable to the system remote control of an external power amp or the vehicle’s auto-antenna relay control terminal (max. 300 mA
12 V DC). If the vehicle is equipped with a
glass antenna, connect it to the antenna
booster power supply terminal.
! Never connect the blue/white cable to the
power terminal of an external power amp.
Also, never connect it to the power terminal
of the auto antenna. Doing so may result in
battery drain or a malfunction.
