USER MANUAL DDX712 KENWOOD

Installation Procedure

1. To prevent a short circuit, remove the key from the

ignition and disconnect the - battery.

2. Make the proper input and output wire

connections for each unit.

3. Connect the speaker wires of the wiring harness.

4. Connect the wiring harness wires in the following

order: ground, battery, ignition.

5. Connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.

6. Install the unit in your car.

7. Reconnect the - battery.

8. Press the reset button.

• If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power source running through the fuse box. Acquiring GPS Signals The first time you turn on the DNX7120, you must wait while the system acquires satellite signals for the first time. This process could take up to several minutes. Make sure your vehicle is outdoors in an open area away from tall buildings and trees for fastest acquisition. After the system acquires satellites for the first time, it will acquire satellites quickly each time thereafter.

• Mounting and wiring this product requires skills and experience. For safety’s sake, leave the mounting and wiring work to professionals.
• Make sure to ground the unit to a negative 12V DC power supply.
• Do not install the unit in a spot exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat or humidity. Also avoid places with too much dust or the possibility of water splashing.
• Do not use your own screws. Use only the screws provided. If you use the wrong screws, you could damage the unit.
• If the power is not turned ON (“PROTECT” is displayed), the speaker wire may have a short-circuit or touched the chassis of the vehicle and the protection function may have been activated. Therefore, the speaker wire should be checked.
• Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by inserting jacks until they lock completely.
• If your vehicle’s ignition does not have an ACC position, or if the ignition wire is connected to a power source with constant voltage such as a battery wire, the power will not be linked with the ignition (i.e., it will not turn on and off along with the ignition). If you want to link the unit’s power with the ignition, connect the ignition wire to a power source that can be turned on and off with the ignition key.
• Use a commercially available conversion connector if the connector does not fit in the vehicle connector.
• Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent a short circuit, do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals.
• If the console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate will not hit the lid when closing and opening.
• If the fuse blows, first make sure the wires aren’t touching to cause a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating.
• Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you share the - wires or ground them to any metal part in the car.
• After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly.
• Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less.
• This unit has the cooling fan (page 5) to decrease the internal temperature. Do not mount the unit in a place where the cooling fan of the unit are blocked. Blocking these openings will inhibit the cooling of the internal temperature and result in malfunction.
• Do not press hard on the panel surface when installing the unit to the vehicle. Otherwise scars, damage, or failure may result. English | DNX̲DDX7̲insta̲K̲En̲r1.indd 3

Installing the GPS Antenna (DNX7120 only) GPS antenna is installed inside of the car. It should be installed as horizontally as possible to allow easy reception of the GPS satellite signals. To mount the GPS antenna inside your vehicle:

1. Clean your dashboard or other surface.

2. Peel the backing off of the adhesive on the bottom

of the metal plate (Accessory #).

3. Press the metal plate (Accessory #) down firmly on

your dashboard or other mounting surface. You can bend the metal plate (Accessory #) to conform to a curved surface, if necessary.

4. Place the GPS antenna (Accessory @) on top of the

metal plate (Accessory #). Installing the Escutcheon For General Motors

• Depending on the type of car, reception of the GPS satellite signals might not be possible with an inside installation.
• The GPS antenna should be installed at a position that is spaced at least 12 inch (30 cm) from cellular phone or other transmitting antennas. Signals from the GPS satellite may be interfered with by these types of communication.
• Painting the GPS antenna with (metallic) paint may cause a drop in performance. 8 | Accessory !
