• Do not earth more than one product
together with the earth from another
product. For example, you must sepa-
rately earth any amplifier unit away
from the earth of this unit.
Connecting earths together can
cause a fire and/or damage the prod-
ucts if their earths became detached.
Notes
• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery
and negative earthing. Check the battery volt-
age of your vehicle before installation.
• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be
sure to disconnect the ≠ battery cable before
beginning installation.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on
connecting the power amp and other units,
then make connections accordingly.
• To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape
around them where they lie against metal
parts.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to use only a
fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse
holder.
• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, do
not directly earth the ≠ side of the speaker
lead or connect the ≠ sides of the speaker
leads together. Be sure to connect the ≠ side
of the speaker lead to the ≠ side of the
speaker lead on this unit.
• If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be
used, do not remove the caps attached to the
end of the connector.
• Never connect speakers with an output rating
of less than 50 W channel or impedance out-
side of the 4 ohms to 8 ohms specifications to
your Navigation system. Connecting speakers
with output and/or impedance values other
than those noted here may result in the speak-
ers catching fire, emitting smoke, or becom-
ing damaged.
• When this product is switched ON, a control
signal is output through the blue/white lead.
Connect to an external power amp’s system
remote control (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the
vehicle features a glass aerial, connect to the
aerial booster power supply terminal.
• When an external power amp is being used
with this system, be sure not to connect the
blue/white lead to the amp’s power terminal.
Likewise, do not connect the blue/white lead
to the power terminal of the auto aerial. Such
connection could cause excessive current
drain and malfunction as well as damage to
the auto aerial of the vehicle.
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the discon-
nected lead with insulating tape. It is espe-
cially important to insulate all unused speaker
leads, which if left uncovered may cause a
short circuit.
• To prevent incorrect connection, the input
side of the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the
output side is black. Connect the connectors
of the same colours correctly.
• When the auto aerial function is used by con-
necting the blue/white lead to the vehicle with
the auto aerial function, either turning off the
ignition switch or detaching the front panel
will retract the auto aerial of the vehicle.
