Safety precautions
2 WARNING
To prevent injury while using this
product, take the following safety
precautions:
• To prevent a short circuit and possible fire, never
put any metallic objects (such as coins or metal
tools) inside the product.
• If you are the driver and your vehicle is moving,
do not watch the product’s display or use its
controls for an extended period.
• Do not use this product in any way that prevents
you from driving safely.
• Follow all driving laws and use common sense
when using this product.
NOTE:
• Like your vehicle’s speedometer, G-Analyzer is
no more than a measuring function. The HP
or G value measured by this unit may not be
completely accurate due to its simplified method of
measurement. The G-Analyzer is only for reference
and should not be used to confirm the horsepower
specifications of your vehicle.
• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and
experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting
and wiring work to professionals.
2CAUTION
To prevent damage to the machine, take
the following precautions:
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC
power supply.
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct
sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid
places with too much dust or the possibility of
water splashing.
• Do not place the faceplate (and the faceplate case)
in areas exposed to direct sunlight, excessive heat or
humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or
the possibility of water splashing.
• To prevent deterioration, do not touch the terminals
of the unit or faceplate with your fingers.
• Do not subject the faceplate to excessive shock, as it
is a piece of precision equipment.
• When replacing a fuse, only use a new fuse with
the prescribed rating. Using a fuse with the wrong
rating may cause your unit to malfunction.
• Do not apply excessive force to the open faceplate
or place objects on it. Doing so will cause damage
or breakdown.
• Use only the screws provided or specified for
installation. If you use wrong screws, you could
damage the unit.
Attach the panel while you are on the
vehicle
The panel lock arm appears when the panel is
removed. Therefore, the panel must be attached while

Installation Procedure
1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the
ignition and disconnect the - battery.
2. Make the proper input and output wire
connections for each unit.
3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.
4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following
order: ground, battery, ignition.
5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.
6. Install the unit in your car.
7. Reconnect the - battery.
8. Press the reset button.
2WARNING
• If the power is not turned ON ("Protect" is displayed), the
speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the
chassis of the vehicle and the protection function may
have been activated. Therefore, the speaker wire should be
checked.
• If your car’s ignition does not have an ACC position, connect
the ignition wires to a power source that can be turned on
and off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignition
wire to a power source with a constant voltage supply, as
with battery wires, the battery may die.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that
the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching
to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one
with the same rating.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar
material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps
on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to
which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail to
work if you share the - wires or ground them to any metal
part in the car.
• When only two speakers are being connected to the
system, connect the connectors either to both the front
output terminals or to both the rear output terminals (do
not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect the +
connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do
not connect the - connector to a rear output terminal.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps,
blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.
If You Want to Connect iPod
AUX input
KCA-iP200 (Optional accessory)
iPod
AUDIO OUT
• No other optional accessory can be connected because
the USB connector and the AUX input are used for iPod
connection.
• Dual Zone System in (page 9) will become
unavailable.
If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire
(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short
circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those
wires to the power source running through the fuse box.
