Any attempt to installthis product in a motor vehicle by anyone other than qualified installer could cause damage to the electrical system and could result in serious personal injuryor death. _1 Overview This equipment shouldbe installedby a profes- sional. However, if you plan to installthis unit yourseff,your first step isto decidewhere to in- stall it. The instructions in these pages will guide you through the remaining steps: (Please refer to "WARNING" statement above). • Identifyand label the vehiclewires • Connect the vehicle wiresto the wiresof the power connector • Installthe unit in the dash • Check the operation of the unit If you do encounter problems, please consult your nearestprofessionalinstaller. Caution: This unit will operate with a 12 volt DC negative ground auto battery system only. Do not attempt to use it in any other system. Doing so couldcause seriousdamage. Before you begin installation,look for the fol- lowing items included in the packing with your unit. • Warranty Card...Fill thisoutpromptly • Panasonlc Servicenter for Service Direc- tory..,Keep for future reference in case the unit needs servicing • Installation Hardware...Needed for in-dash installation [3 Installation Hardware (_) MountingCollar (_ Hsx.

tery, andthe following: 12 V DC ELECTRICAL SIDE-CUT TEST BULB TAPE PLIERS Dashboard Specifications THICKNESS MIN. 3.4#',(4.75mm) \ _ MAX. %= (5.56 mm) / GI Identify All Leads The firststep in installationis to identifyall the vehicle wires you'll use when hookingup your soundsystem. As you identifyeach wire, we suggestthat you label it using masking tape and a permanent marker. This will help avoid confusion when makingconnectionslater. Note: Do not connect the power connector to the stereo unit untilyou have made all connec- tions.If there are no plasticcaps on the stereo hookingwires, insulate all exposed leads with electricaltape untilyou are ready to use them. Identifythe leads inthe followingorder. Power Lead If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one: Cut the connectorplugoff (leavingthe leads as longas possible)so that you can work with in- dividual leads, j_ _ Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, and ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis. Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug. Touch one wire at a time until you find the outlet that causes the test bulb to light. Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb also turns off and on, that outlet is the ve- hicle power lead. If your vehicle is not wired foran audio unit: Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for radio (RADIO), accessory (ACC), or ignition (IGN). Battery Lead If your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need to locatethe car's batterytead.Otherwise you may ignore this procedure. (The yellow battery lead provides continuous power to maintain a clock, memory storage, or other function.) If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one: With the ignitionand headlightsoff, identifythe car battery lead by groundingone lead of the test bulb to the chassis and checkingthe re- maining exposed wires from the cut radiocon- nector plug. If your vehicle is notwired for an audiounit: Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the battery, usually marked BAT. Speakers Identify the car speaker leads. There will be two leads for each speaker, usually color coded. A handy way to identifythe speakerleadsand the speaker they connect with is to test the leads usinga 1.5 volt AA battery as follows. Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and strokethe other lead acrossthe otherpole. You will hear a scraping sound in a speaker if you are holdinga speaker lead. If not, keep testing different lead combinations until you have located all the speaker leads. When you label them, includethe speaker lo- cation foreach. Antenna Motor If your vehicle is equipped with an automatic power antenna, identifythe vehicle motor an- tenna lead by connecting one bulbtester lead to the vehicle battery lead and touchingthe re- maining exposed wires from the cut radiocon- nector plug one at a time. You will hear the antenna motor activate when you touch the correct wire. Antenna The antenna lead is a thick, black wire with a metal plugat the end. 17

vehicle, you're ready to begin connectingthem to the stereo unit wires. The connection dia- gram (.o Page 22) shows the proper connec- tionsand colorcoding of the leads. We stronglyrecommend that you test the unit before making a final installation. You can set the unit on the floor and make temporary connections to test the unit. Use electricaltape to cover all exposed wires. Important: Connect the red power lead last, after you have made and insulated all other connections. Ground Connect the black ground lead of the power connectorto the metal vehicle chassis. Speakers Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring dia- gram (.m Page 22) for the proper hookups. Followthe diagram carefullyto avoiddamaging the speakers and the stereo unit. The speakers used must be able to handle more than 40 watts of audio power. If usingan optional audio amplifier, the speakers should be able to handle the maximum amplifier out- put power, Speakers with low inputratingscan be damaged. Speaker impedance should mea- sure 4-8 ohms, which is typicallymarked on most speakers. Lower or higher impedance speakers will affect output and can cause both speakerand stereounit damage. Caution: Never groundthe speaker cords. For example, do not use a chassis groundsystem or a three-wire speaker common system. Each speaker must be connected separately using parallel insulated wires. If in doubt about how your car's speakers are wired, please consult withyour nearest professionalinstaller. Motor Antenna Connect the vehicle motor antenna lead to the blue motor antenna relay controllead. 18 Battery Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block. Antenna Connect the antenna by plugging the antenna lead intothe antenna receptacle. Equipment Connect any optional equipment such as am- plifier, according to the instructionsfurnished with the equipment. Keep about 12 inches (30 cm) of distance between the speaker cords'amplifier unit and the antenna/antenna extension cord. Read the operatingand instal- lation instructionsfor any equipment you will connectto this unit. Power Connect the red power lead to the correctvehi- cle radiowire or to the appropriatefuse port on the fuse block. If the stereo unit functions properly with all these connectionsmade, disconnectthe wires and proceedto the final installation. Final Installation Lead Connections Connect all wires, making sure that each con- nection is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires and fasten them withtape so they won'tfall down later. Now insertthe stereo unit intothe mountingcollar. Congratulations! After making a few final checks, you're ready to enjoy your new auto stereosystem. g Final Checks 1. Make sure that all wires are properlycon- nected and insulated. 2, Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held inthe mountingcollar. 3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for properoperation. If youhave difficulties,consultyour nearestau- thorizedprofessionalinstallerfor assistance.
