instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

Parts List for Installation


Cautions
• Do not install this unit in a car that has no ACC
position. The display of the unit does not turn off
even after turning the ignition off, and this causes

• Run all ground (earth) leads to a common
ground (earth) point.
• Do not get the leads trapped under a screw or
caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).
• Before making connections, turn the car ignition
off to avoid short circuits.
• Connect the yellow and red power supply leads
only after all other leads have been connected.
• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads
with electrical tape for safety.
