Precautions before
connecting the system
WARNING
Do not take any steps to tamper with or
disable the handbrake interlock system
which is in place for your protection.
Tampering with or disabling the handbrake
interlock system could result in serious injury
or death.
CAUTION
• If you decide to perform the installation
yourself, and have special training and
experience in the mobile electronics
installations, please carefully follow all of
the steps in the installation manual.
• Secure all wiring with cable clamps or
electrical tape. Do not allow any bare wiring
to remain exposed.
• Do not directly connect the yellow lead of
this product to the vehicle battery. If the
lead is directly connected to the battery,
engine vibration may eventually cause the
insulation to fail at the point where the wire
passes from the passenger compartment
into the engine compartment. If the yellow
lead's insulation tears as a result of contact
with metal parts, short-circuiting can occur,
resulting in considerable danger.
• It is extremely dangerous to allow cables to
become wound around the steering column
or gearstick. Be sure to install this product,
its cables, and wiring away in such so that
they will not obstruct or hinder driving.
• Make sure that the cables and wires will
not interfere with or become caught in any
of the vehicle's moving parts, especially
the steering wheel, gearstick, handbrake,
sliding seat tracks, doors, or any of the
vehicle's controls.
• Do not route wires where they will be
exposed to high temperatures. If the
insulation heats up, wires may become

damaged, resulting in a short circuit or
malfunction and permanent damage to the
product.
• Do not cut the GPS aerial cable to shorten
it or use an extension to make it longer.
Altering the aerial cable could result in a
short circuit or malfunction.
• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the
protection circuit (fuse holder, fuse resistor
or filter, etc.) may fail to work properly.
• Never feed power to other electronic
products by cutting the insulation of the
power supply lead of this product and
tapping into the lead. The current capacity
of the lead will be exceeded, causing
overheating.
Before installing this
product
• Use this product with a 12-volt
battery and negative earthing only.
Failure to do so may result in a fire or
malfunction.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system,
be sure to disconnect the (–) battery
cable before installation.
To prevent damage
WARNING
• Use speakers over 50 W (maximum input
power) and between 4Ω to 8Ω (impedance
value). Do not use 1Ω to 3Ω speakers for
this product.
• The black lead is earth. Please earth this
lead separately from the earth of high-
current products such as power amps. Do
not earth more than one product together
with the earth from another product.
For example, you must separately earth
any amp unit away from the earth of this
product. Connecting earths together can
cause a fire and/or damage the products if
their earths became detached.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to only
use a fuse of the rating prescribed on this
product.
– When disconnecting a connector, pull the
connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as you
may pull it out of the connector.
– This product cannot be installed in a vehicle
without ACC (accessory) position on the
ignition switch.

No ACC position
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the
disconnected lead with insulating tape.
It is especially important to insulate
all unused speaker leads, which if left
uncovered may cause a short circuit.
• Attach the connectors of the same
colour to the corresponding coloured
port, i.e., blue connector to the blue
port, black to black, etc.
• Refer to the owner's manual for details
on connecting the power amp and
other units, then make connections
accordingly.
• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed,
do not directly earth the
side of the
speaker lead or connect the
side
of another side of the speaker lead
together. Be sure to connect the
of the speaker lead to the
side of the
speaker lead on this product.
Notice for the blue/white lead
Important
When this product is in "Power OFF" mode, the
control signal is also turned off. If "Power OFF"
mode is cancelled, the control signal is output
again and the aerial is extended with the auto
aerial function (if the aerial is being used). Be
careful so that the extended aerial does not
come into contact with any obstacles.
• When the ignition switch is turned on
(ACC ON), a control signal is output
through the blue/white lead. Connect
to an external power amp's system
remote control terminal, the auto-aerial
relay control terminal, or the aerial
booster power control terminal (max.
300mA 12 V DC). The control signal is
output through the blue/white lead,
even if the audio source is switched off.
• Be sure not to use this lead as the
power supply lead for the external
power amps. Such connection could
cause excessive current drain and
malfunction.
• Be sure not to use this lead as the
power supply lead for the auto-aerial or
aerial booster. Such connection could
cause excessive current drain and
malfunction.
