Before you start

Section

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:

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.

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 theshift 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 orderto 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.
