Oo) The use of any accessories except for those provided might result in damage to the unit. Make sure only to use the accessories shipped with the unit, as shown above. Installation Procedure

1. To prevent short circuits, remove the key from the ignition and

disconnect the © terminal of the battery.

2. Make the proper input and output wire connections for each unit.

3. Cars with an ISO connector:

Connect the speaker connector of the car to Connector B of the unit, and then connect the external power connector to Connector À Cars without an ISO connector: First connect the wire of the wiring harness, and then connect the wiring harness connector to the unit.

4. Install the unit in your car.

Reconnect the © terminal of the battery.

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 elf your car is not prepared for this special connection-system, consult your Kenwood dealer. + Only use antenna conversion adapters (ISO-JASO) when the antenna cord has an ISO plug Make sure that all wire connections are securely made by inserting jacks until they lock completely. e1f 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 (.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. If the fuse blows, first make sure that the wires have not caused a short circuit, then replace the old fuse with one with the same rating « Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or other similar material. To prevent short circuits, also do not remove the caps on the ends of the unconnected wires or the terminals. e Connect the speaker wires correctly to the terminals to which they correspond. The unit may receive damage or fail to work if you share the © wires and/or ground them to any metal part in the car. e When only two speakers are being connected to the system, connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear) For example, if you connect the @ connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do not connect the © connector to a rear output terminal. + After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, indicators, wipers, etc. on the car are working properly. +lfthe console has a lid, make sure to install the unit so that the faceplate does not hit the lid when closing and opening —_23—
