PRECAUTIONS

Please read these impor tant precautions BEFORE
attempting to install this unit. Driving a vehicle while
operating this head unit may violate motor vehicle laws,
and may result in serious injury, property damage, or
death!

• Disconnect the vehicle’s negative bat­tery terminal before starting instal­lation. Consult the vehicle’s owner’s
manual for proper instruction.

• The unit is designed for a 12 Volt
DC negative ground system only.
Before installing the unit, make
sure your vehicle is a 12 Volt
DC negative ground system.

•

Mark the polarity of the exist-

ing speaker wires before discon­necting the old head unit.

• Be sure to connect the color coded
leads according to the wiring dia­gram. Incorrect connections may
damage the unit or cause the unit
to malfunction or cause damage
the vehicle's electrical system.

• Make sure all the connections are
completely correct before final in­dash installation of your unit.

• When extending the ignition, memory
backup or the ground cable, use 1.02mm
diameter (AWG18) or heavier automo
tive grade cable to avoid wire deteriora­tion or damage to the wire coating.

• To prevent short circuit, never
put or leave any metallic object
inside the unit. If you smell or see
smoke, turn off the power imme­diately and consult your dealer.

• Insert the unit until it is firmly
locked into mounting sleeve,
otherwise it may fall out.

• Be careful not to drop or shock
the unit, it may break or crack
because it contains glass parts.

• The unit is only designed for use with
4 speakers and a sub-woofer. Do not
combine speaker output wires for use
with 2 speakers. Do not ground negative
speaker leads to the chassis ground.

• Do not open the top or bottom cover.
Modifying the unit will void the warranty
and may damage the unit or cause
the unit to malfunction or cause dam­age to the vehicle's electrical system.

• Parking in direct sunlight for several
hours will cause higher temperatures
inside the vehicle. Do not operate in
extremely high or low temperatures. The
temperature inside the vehicle should be
between 32º F (0º C) and 100º F (37º C)
before turning on your unit. Cool down
the vehicle before operating the unit

• The faceplate is a precision piece
of equipment that contains sensi­tive electronic components. Do not
subject it to excessive shock.

• When replacing the fuse(s), the replace­ment must be of the same amper­age as shown on the fuse holder.

• Do not block this unit’s vents or heater
panels. Blocking them will cause
excessive heat to build up inside

-

the unit and may result in fire.

• After completing the installation and
before operating the unit, reconnect the
battery according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Turn the unit ON, then
press the reset (RES) button with a
pointed object, such as a ball-point
pen to set the unit to its initial status.
