Installation
vehicle's fuse block that provides a con-
tinuous source of 12 volts.
This connection provides power for the
stereo's components, and continuous
power for the stereo's memory when the
ignition is turned off.
5. If you have any optional equipment that
you want the stereo to turn on and off
(such as a booster or a power antenna),
remove the black cover from the end of
the blue/white (

) wire. Then connect the wire
to that equipment, as long as it is
designed to run from a switched source.
This wire does not provide power to the
components. If you do not use this wire,
secure it with a wire tie and do not let it
touch metal.
Testing the Power Connections
1. Temporarily connect the wiring harness
to the stereo's 14-pin wiring socket.
2. Reconnect your vehicle battery's nega-
tive (–) cable.
3. Turn on your vehicle's ignition and install
your stereo's control panel (see “Install-
ing the Control Panel” on Page 9). Verify
that everything works properly (the ste-
reo works properly when the display
lights).
Notes:
• If the display does not light, immedi-
ately turn off your vehicle's ignition
and disconnect your vehicle battery's
negative (–) cable. Then recheck
your connections.
• If the stereo works properly, remove
your stereo's control panel.
4. Disconnect your vehicle battery's nega-
tive (–) cable.
5. Disconnect the wiring harness from the
stereo's 14-pin wiring socket.
Connecting an Equalizer
or Booster/Amplifier
To connect the stereo to a separate equaliz-
er or booster/amplifier, you will need addi-
tional wires (not supplied, available at your
local RadioShack store). First, remove the
protective covers from the phono connectors
on the ends of the stereo's split

wire.
For specific instructions about connecting
wires to the equalizer or booster, consult the
owner’s manual for the equalizer or booster.
Connecting Two Pairs
of Speakers
If you are using both front and rear speakers,
follow these steps to connect the wiring har-
ness to the speakers.
1. Connect the white wire to the left front
speaker's positive terminal. This termi-
nal is usually marked with a plus (+) sign
or a red mark.
2. Connect the white/black wire to the left
front speaker's negative terminal. This
terminal might be marked with a minus
(–) sign or it might not be marked at all.
