2 WARNING
• The unit can only be installed in a car with a 12V DC
power supply, negative ground.
• 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.
¤
CAUTION
Install this unit in the console of your vehicle.
Do not touch the metal part of this unit during and shortly
after the use of the unit. Metal part such as the heat sink
and enclosure become hot.
Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and
experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting and wiring
work to professionals.
If you experience problems during installation, consult your
Kenwood dealer.Disconnect the battery’s negative terminal
and make all electrical connections before installing the
unit.
Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar
materials. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps
on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
Be sure to ground this unit to the car’s chassis again after
installation.
If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires are not touching
to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one
with the same rating.
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.
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.
Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided.
If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.
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.
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.
