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.
• Choose the installation location carefully so that
the unit will not interfere with normal driving
operations.
• Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust,
dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, such
as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.
• Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a
safe and secure installation.
Note on the power supply lead (yellow)
When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo
components, the amperage rating of the car circuit to which
