WARNING

Use speakers over 50 W (output value) and

between 4 W to 8 W (impedance value). Do

not use 1 W to 3 W speakers for this unit.

The black cable is ground. When installing

make sure to connect the ground wire first.

Ensure that the ground wire is properly con-

nected 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 con-

nected to the car separately with different

screws. If the screw for the ground wire loos-

Important

When installing this unit in a vehicle without

an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition

switch, failure to connect the red cable to the

terminal that detects operation of the ignition

key may result in battery drain.

When this unit is on, control signals are sent

through the blue/white cable. Connect this

cable to the system remote control of an ex-

ternal power amp or the vehicle’s auto-anten-

na 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.
