Maintenance

Replacing the lithium battery of the remote commander

Under normal conditions, the battery will last approximately 1 year. (The service life may be shorter, depending on the conditions of use.) When the battery becomes weak, the range of the remote commander becomes shorter.

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replaced only with the same or equivalent type.

① ② + side up

Notes on the lithium battery

• Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children. Should the battery be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor.
• Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to ensure a good contact.
• Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing the battery.
• Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers, otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

WARNING

Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire.

Cleaning the connectors

The unit may not function properly if the connectors between the unit and the front panel are not clean. In order to prevent this, detach the front panel (page 5) and clean the connectors with a cotton swab. Do not apply too much force. Otherwise, the connectors may be damaged.

Cautions

• Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point.
• Do not get the leads trapped under a screw, or caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).
• Before making connections, turn the car ignition 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.

Precautions

• 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 the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each component's fuse amperage rating.

Making connections

① To a common ground (earth) point

First connect the black ground (earth) lead, then connect the yellow and red power supply leads.

② To the +12 V power terminal which is energized at all times

Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point.

③ To the +12 V power terminal which is energized when the ignition switch is set to the accessory position

If there is no accessory position, connect to the +12 V power (battery) terminal which is energized at all times.

Be sure to first connect the black ground (earth) lead to a common ground (earth) point.
