3. Connect the red power wire
(with in-line fuse holder) to a
point in your vehicle’s fuse block
that has power only when you
turn the vehicle’s key to either
the accessory (ACC) or ON
position.
This connection powers the ste-
reo and turns it on when you
turn on the ignition or turn the
key to ACC, and turns off the
stereo when you turn off the igni-
tion. This prevents your vehicle’s
battery from being drained if you
leave the stereo on when you
turn off the ignition.
4. Connect the yellow power/mem-
ory wire (with in-line fuse holder)
to your vehicle battery’s positive
(+) terminal or to a point in your
vehicle’s fuse block that pro-
vides a continuous source of 12
volts.
This connection provides contin-
uous power for the stereo’s
clock and tuner memory when
the ignition is turned off.
5. Connect the blue/white wire to
any optional component, de-
signed to run from a switched
source, that you want to turn on
and off when you turn the stereo
on and off (such as an equalizer/
booster).
This wire does not provide
power to the component. It sim-
ply turns it on or off. If you do not
use this wire, secure it with a
wire tie and do not let it touch
metal.
Testing the Power
Connections
Temporarily connect:
• The 14-wire harness into the
stereo’s 14-pin wiring socket
• Your vehicle battery’s negative
(
–
) cable
Install the stereo’s anti-theft control
panel (see “Installing the Control
Panel”). Then turn on your vehicle’s
ignition. Verify that everything works
properly (the stereo works properly
when the display lights and the fre-
quency or time display appears).
If the stereo does not work,
immedi-
ately turn off your vehicle’s igni-
tion, then unplug the 14-wire har-
ness and your vehicle battery’s
negative (
–
) cable. Recheck your
connections.
