any operation that could interfere
with your driving.
• 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.
• This unit will only play the following discs.
• Disconnect negative battery terminal before starting installation. Consult the vehicle’s
owner’s manual for proper instruction.
• The unit is designed for a 12Volt DC negative ground operation system only. Before
installing the unit, make sure your vehicle is a 12Volt DC negative ground system.
• Mark the polarity of the existing speaker wires before disconnecting the old unit.
• Be sure to connect the color coded leads according to the diagram. Incorrect connections
may cause the unit to malfunction or damage the vehicle's electrical system.
• Make sure all the connections are completely correct before turning on your unit.
•
When extending the ignition, memory backup or ground cable, use diameter of 0.75mm (AWG18)
or more automotive 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 contain glass parts.
• The unit is only designed for use with 4 speakers. Do not combine output for use with 2
speakers. Do not ground negative speaker leads to the chassis ground.
• Do not open the top or bottom cover and do not install the unit in place where it is
exposed to direct sunlight (including the faceplate), in order to avoid high heat or humidity, water splash over it or dust.
• 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 vents or heater panels. Blocking them will cause heat to build up inside
