Note

This equipme nt has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digi tal 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

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 sou nd until you can hea r it comfortably an d clearly, without dis tortion.

• Once you have established a comfortable sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOL LOWING GUIDELINES:

• Do not turn up the volume so hi gh that you can’t hear what’s around you.

• Use caution or temporarily di scontinue use in potentially ha zardous 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.

WARNI NG

hazards.

• Do not attempt to operate the uni t while driving. Make sure to pull off th e road and park your vehicle

in a safe location before attempting to use the controls on the device.

• Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with the product may
expose you to chemicals listed on p roposition 65 known to the State of Califo rnia and other
governmental entities to cause cancer and birth defect or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after
handling.

CAUTION:
USE OF CONTROL OR ADJUSTMENT OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE
SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZ ARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
CAUTION:
THE USE OF OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS WITH THIS PRODUCT WILL INCREASE EYE HAZARD.

CAUTION

• Do not allow this unit to come into contact wi th moisture and/or liquids. El ectrical shock could result.

• Use speakers over 50 W (output value)

and between 4 Ω to 8 Ω (impedance
value). Do not use 1 Ω to 3 Ω speakers for
this unit.

• The black cable is ground. When

installing this unit or power amp (sold
separately), make sure to connect the
ground wire first. Ensure that the ground
wire is properly connected to metal parts
of the car’s body. The ground wire of the
power amp and the one of this unit or
any other device must be connected to
the car separately with di fferent screws. If
the screw for the ground wire loosens or
falls out, it could result in fire, generation
of smoke or malfunction.

Important

• When installing this unit in a vehicle

without an ACC (accessory) position on
the ignition sw itch, failure to connect the
red cable to th e terminal that detects
operation of the ignition key may result
in battery drain.

• Use this unit with a 12-volt battery and

negative grounding only. Failure to do so
may result in a fire or malfunction.

• To prevent a short-circuit, overheating or

malfunction, be sure to follow the
direction s below.
– Disconnect the negative terminal of the

battery before installation.

– Secure the wiring with cable clamps or

adhesive tape. Wrap adhesive tape
around wiring that comes into contact
with metal parts to protect the wiring.

– Place all cables away from moving par ts,

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

multiple 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. 300mA 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.
