Safety Instructions
Power Source
• The power supply for the unit is obtained from the 12 volt car
battery, negative earth.
• The equipment is protected by 3 x fuses. One in the power supply
line, one in the memory supply and one in the power antenna line.
The fuses are located in the choke enclosure and in-line with wiring
that connects to the rear of the unit.
Safety Considerations
• Do not use the unit in humid or damp conditions. Do not allow the
unit to get wet, i.e. dripping or splashing, as this may cause damage
to the unit.
• Always keep the volume low enough so you can hear warning
sounds outside of the car.
Servicing
• The CD240MPR/512 unit contains fuses that may be changed by
suitably qualified service personnel when necessary. The
instructions for carrying out fuse replacement are contained in Help
& Advise chapter of this guide.
• Consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation,
operation, servicing or safety of this product.
• Keep this manual handy as a reference for operating procedures.
• If the yellow lead from the unit is removed from the power supply, or
the battery is disconnected from the car or becomes discharged,
the preset radio stations (in memory) will be erased and will require
re-programming. All function mode will be reset to factory defaults.

Installation
Recommendations
• Choose the mounting location where the unit will not interfere with
the normal driving function of the driver.
• Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily and
make sure it is all connected up properly and the unit and the
system work properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper
installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of
holes or other modifications of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’s way and cannot
injure the passenger if there is a sudden stop, like an emergency
stop.
• If the installation angle exceeds 20 degrees from the horizontal, the
unit may not give its optimum performance.
• Avoid installing the unit where it would be subject to high
temperature, such as from direct sunlight, or from hot air, from the
heater, or where it would be subject to dust, dirt or excessive
vibration.
ISO connector
Nowadays cars are fitted with an ISO connector that is ready-wired to
all speakers and power leads within the car.
This unit is fitted with an ISO connector plug that will mate with the carfitted ISO connector socket thereby providing a very simple wiring
installation. See page 8.
NOTE: Some older cars will not have an ISO connector. In these
cases you will need to obtain a “patch cable assembly” that
connects to the connector that is fitted. The other end of this
cable has an ISO connector to mate with that from this unit.
