Installation
Note:
• Before finally installing the unit, connect the
wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connect-
ed up properly, and the unit and the system work
properly.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure
proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts
can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation
requires the drilling of holes or other modifica-
tions of the vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not get in the dri-
ver’s way and cannot injure the passenger if there
is a sudden stop, like an emergency stop.
• The semiconductor laser will be damaged if it
overheats, so don’t install the unit anywhere hot
— for instance, near a heater outlet.
• If installation angle exceeds 30° from horizontal,
the unit might not give its optimum performance.

• When mounting this unit, make sure none of the
leads are trapped between this unit and the sur-
rounding metalwork or fittings.
• Do not mount this unit near the heater outlet,
where it would be affected by heat, or near the
doors, where rainwater might splash onto it.
• Before drilling any mounting holes always check
behind where you want to drill the holes. Do not
drill into the gas line, brake line, electrical wiring
or other important parts.
• If this unit is installed in the passenger compart-
ment, anchor it securely so it does not break free
while the car is moving, and cause injury or an
accident.
• If this unit is installed under a front seat, make
sure it does not obstruct seat movement. Route all
leads and cords carefully around the sliding mech-
anism so they do not get caught or pinched in the
mechanism and cause a short circuit.
• Do not mount this unit on the spare tire board or
any other unstable place.
• Do not mount this unit anywhere that gets the sun
and so becomes hot, like on the dashboard or the
rear shelf.
• Mount this unit on a flat surface.
MODE Switch Setting
Before installing, use a pen tip or other thin,
pointed instrument to set the MODE Switch to
the appropriate position for the component you
are using it with.
