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.¤• 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 chassis 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).
