English | 3Installation Procedure1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from theignition and disconnect the - terminal of thebattery.2. Make the proper input and output wireconnections for each unit.3. Connect the wire on the wiring harness.4. Take Connector B on the wiring harness andconnect it to the speaker connector in your vehicle.5. Take Connector A on the wiring harness andconnect it to the external power connector on yourvehicle.6. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.7. Install the unit in your car.8. Reconnect the - terminal of the battery.9. Press the reset button.2WARNING• If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire(yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a shortcircuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect thosewires to the power source running through the fuse box.• Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition wire (red) and thebattery wire (yellow). The power supply must be connectedto the wires via the fuse.Acquiring GPS SignalsThe first time you turn on the DNX7200, you mustwait while the system acquires satellite signals forthe first time. This process could take up to severalminutes. Make sure your vehicle is outdoors in anopen area away from tall buildings and trees forfastest acquisition. After the system acquires satellitesfor the first time, it will acquire satellites quickly eachtime thereafter.¤• If the power is not turned ON (or it is ON, but will be OFFimmediately), the speaker wire may have a short-circuitor touched the chasis of the vehicle and the protectionfunction may have been activated. Therefore, the speakerwire should be checked.• If your car’s ignition does not have an ACC position, connectthe ignition wires to a power source that can be turned onand off with the ignition key. If you connect the ignitionwire to a power source with a constant voltage supply, aswith battery wires, the battery may die.• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so thatthe faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touchingto cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with onewith the same rating.• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similarmaterial. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the capson the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals towhich they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail towork if you share the - wires or ground them to any metalpart in the car.• When only two speakers are being connected to thesystem, connect the connectors either to both the frontoutput terminals or to both the rear output terminals (donot mix front and rear). For example, if you connect the +connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, donot 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.• This unit has the cooling fan (page 5) to decrease theinternal temperature. Do not mount the unit in a placewhere the cooling fan of the unit are blocked. Blockingthese openings will inhibit the cooling of the internaltemperature and result in malfunction.
