Precautions
Unit is designed for negative ground
12 V DC systems only
The unit cannot be used in trucks or other cars
with 24 V systems. Otherwise, there is a risk of fire
and damage.
Do not disassemble or remodel the
unit
This can cause electric shock, personal injury or
fire. Do not connect any other system's power
supply cord to this unit's power supply cord
directly. If you are in any doubt about the safe
installation of this unit, please consult your nearest
Sony dealer.
Do not install in locations which
interfere with airbag operation
Otherwise there is a risk of accidents and injury.
Use only the specified fuse
When replacing the fuse, be sure to use only a fuse
of the same rating (ampere rating). Otherwise
there is a risk of fire.
Do not block ventilation
If the unit is placed under the floor carpet, floor
mat, or otherwise covered, the ventilation
openings and heat sink cannot provide sufficient
cooling, leading to overheating and the risk of fire
or serious accidents.
Cautions
• Do not get the wires 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 input leads
only after all other leads have been connected.
• Run all ground wires to a common ground
point.
• Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected wires
with electrical tape for safety.
Notes on the power supply cord (yellow)
• When connecting this unit in combination with
other stereo components, the connected car
circuit's rating must be higher than the sum of
each component's fuse.
• When no car circuits are rated high enough,
connect the unit directly to the battery.
