    Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit youve just purchased is only the start of yourmusical enjoyment. Now its time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement yourequipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Associations ConsumerElectronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level. Onethat lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortionand, mostimportantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

    Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing comfort level adapts to higher volumes of sound. So what sounds normal can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard againstthis by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

    To establish a safe level: Start your volume control at a low setting. Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.

    Once you have established a comfortable sound level: Set the dial and leave it there.

    Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. Afterall, we want you listening for a lifetime.

    We Want You Listening For A LifetimeUsed wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since

    hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and theElectronic Industries Association s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolongedexposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.

    Note: This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and

    negative grounding. Before installing it in a recre-ational vehicle, truck or bus, check the batteryvoltage.

    To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure todisconnect the battery cable before beginninginstallation.

    Refer to the owners manual for details on con-necting the power amp and other units, then makeconnections correctly.

    Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesivetape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tapearound them where they lie against metal parts.

    Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch anymoving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake andseat rails. Do not route wiring in places that gethot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulationof the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body.

    Dont pass the yellow lead through a hole into theengine compartment to connect to the battery. Thiswill damage the lead insulation and cause a verydangerous short.

    Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protectioncircuit may fail to work when it should.

    Never feed power to other equipment by cutting

    the insulation of the power supply lead of the unitand tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

    When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of the rating prescribed on this unit.

    Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or the left and right speaker leads are common.If you ground the products together and the groundbecomes detached, there is a risk of damage to theproducts or fire.

    The black lead is ground. Please ground this leadseparately from the ground of high-current prod-ucts such as power amps.If you ground the products together and theground becomes detached, there is a risk of dam-age to the products or fire.

    Speakers connected to this unit must be high-power types with minimum rating of 50 W andimpedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakerswith output and/or impedance values other thanthose noted here may result in the speakers catch-ing fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.

    When this products source is switched ON, a con-trol signal is output through the blue/white lead.Connect to an external power amps system remotecontrol or the cars Auto-antenna relay control ter-minal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the car featuresa glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster power supply terminal.

    When an external power amp is being used withthis system, be sure not to connect the blue/whitelead to the amps power terminal. Likewise, do notconnect the blue/white lead to the power terminalof the auto-antenna. Such connection could causeexcessive current drain and malfunction.

    To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnectedlead with insulating tape. Especially, insulate theunused speaker leads without fail. There is a possi-bility of short-circuiting if the leads are not insulat-ed.

    If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does nothave an ACC (accessory) position on the ignitionswitch, the red lead of the unit should be connectedto a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/OFFoperations. If this is not done, the vehicle batterymay be drained when you are away from the vehi-cle for several hours. (Fig. 1)

    Cords for this product and those for other prod-ucts may be different colors even if they have thesame function. When connecting this product toanother product, refer to the supplied Installationmanuals of both products and connect cords thathave the same function.

    Installation

    Note: Before finally installing the unit, connect the

    wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connectedup properly, and the unit and the system workproperly.

    Use only the parts included with the unit to ensureproper installation. The use of unauthorized partscan cause malfunctions.

    Consult with your nearest dealer if installationrequires the drilling of holes or other modificationsof the vehicle.

    Install the unit where it does not get in the driversway and cannot injure the passenger if there is asudden stop, like an emergency stop.

    The semiconductor laser will be damaged if itoverheats, so dont install the unit anywhere hot

    for instance, near a heater outlet.

    If installation angle exceeds 60 from horizontal,the unit might not give its optimum performance.(Fig. 3)
