Connecting the System
Before installing the unit
• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative earthing. Check the battery
voltage of your vehicle before installation.
To prevent damage
• When disconnecting a connector, pull the connector itself. Do not pull the lead, as you
may pull it out of the connector.
• This unit cannot be installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position
on the ignition switch.
• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. It is especial-
ly important to insulate all unused speaker leads, which if left uncovered may cause a
short circuit.
• Attach the connectors of the same colour to the corresponding coloured port, i.e., blue
connector to the blue port, black to black, etc.
• The black lead is earth. Please earth this lead separately from the earth of high-current
products such as power amps.
Do not earth more than one product together with the earth from another product. For
example, you must separately earth any amplifier unit away from the earth of the Hide-
away unit. Connecting earths together can cause a fire and/or damage the products if
their earths became detached.
• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units,
then make connections accordingly.
• When replacing the fuse, be sure to use only a fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse
holder.
• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, do not directly earth the ≠ side of the speaker
lead or connect the ≠ sides of the speaker leads together. Be sure to connect the ≠ side
of the speaker lead to the ≠ side of the speaker lead on the display unit.
• If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used, do not remove the caps attached to the
end of the connector.
• When the auto aerial function is used by connecting the blue lead to the vehicle
with the auto aerial function, either turning off the ignition switch or detaching
the front panel will retract the auto aerial of the vehicle.
