Installing the rotary remote

Notes

• Choose the mounting location carefully so that the

rotary remote will not interfere with operating the

car.

• Do not install the rotary remote in a place where it

may jeopardize the safety of the (front) passenger in

anyway.

• When installing the rotary remote, be sure not to

damage the electrical cables etc. on the other side of

the mounting surface.

• Avoid installing the rotary remote where it may be

subject to high temperatures, such as from direct

sunlight or hot air from the heater etc.

Example of a mounting location

Choose the exact location for the rotary remote to be

mounted, then clean the mounting surface.

Dirt or oil impair the adhesive strength of the double-sided

adhesive tape.

Mark two positions for the supplied screws.

Use the screw holes on the mounting hardware to mark the

positions.

Marks

Warm the mounting surface and the double-sided

adhesive tape on the mounting hardware to the

temperature of 20°C (68°F) to 30°C (86°F), and attach the

mounting hardware onto the mounting surface by

applying even pressure. Then screw it down with the

supplied screws 8.

Attach a piece of heavy duty tape etc. on the other side of the

mounting surface to cover the protruding tips of the screws so

that they will not interfere with the electrical cables etc. inside

the steering wheel column.

Heavy duty tape etc.

Remove the steering wheel column cover, and drill 2 mm

(

/32 in.) diameter holes where you have marked.

After installing the steering wheel column

cover, attach the rotary remote to the

mounting hardware by aligning the four

holes on the bottom of the rotary remote to

the four catches on the mounting hardware

and sliding the rotary remote until it locks

into place as illustrated.

Note

If you are mounting the rotary remote to the

steering wheel column, make sure that the

protruding tips of the screws on the inner surface

of the column do not in anyway hinder or interfere

with the movement of the rotating shaft, operative

parts of the switches or the electrical cables etc.

inside the column.

control sensor of the system.

• To prevent deformation due to heat, do not install

the remote in a place subject to direct sunlight.

• When parking you car, put the remote somewhere,

such as the glove compartment, that is away from

sound. To make the best use of the optional power amplifier, follow the steps below.

1 Use the dial to set the master unit’s volume to the highest level possible, depending on the

optional power amplifier. This improves the harmonic distortion and signal-to-noise ratio.

2 Use the power amplifier’s LEVEL (GAIN) control to adjust the listening volume to a suitable level.

Memory hold connection

When the yellow power input lead is connected, power will always be supplied to the memory circuit even

when the ignition key is turned off.
