Warnings and Precautions

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class

B device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to pro-

vide reasonable protecon against harmful interference in a residenal instal-

laon. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy,

and, if not installed and used in accordance with instrucons, may cause harm-

ful interference with radio communicaons. However, there is no guarantee

that radio interference will not occur in a parcular installaon. If this equip-

ment does cause harmful interference to radio or television recepon, which

can be determined by turning the equipment o and on, the user is encouraged

to consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. You are

cauoned that any changes or modicaons not expressly approved in this

manual could void your authority to operate this equipment.

Observe these warnings and precauons when using this unit:

• Carefully read this manual before using the unit. If you encounter any

problems that are not covered in this manual, please consult the dealer

from which you purchased the unit or the dealer nearest you. You may also

email us at support@retrosoundusa.com.

• Do not turn the unit on if the temperature inside the car is very high.

Always allow the unit to cool down before usage.

• The driver should neither watch the display nor operate the system while

driving. Watching the display or operang the system will distract the

driver from driving safely and can cause accidents. Always stop the vehicle

in a safe locaon and use the parking brake before watching the display or

operang the system.

• Use the proper power supply. This product is designed for operaon with

a negave ground 12V DC baery system. Never operate this product with

other baery systems, especially a 18/24V DC baery or posive ground

system.

• Do not disassemble or modify the unit. Do not disassemble, modify the

unit or aempt to repair the product yourself. If the product needs to be

repaired, consult your dealer or Retro Manufacturing directly.

• Do not use the unit when it is out of order. If the unit is out of order (no

power, no sound) or in an abnormal state (has foreign objects in it, is ex-

posed to water, is smoking, or smells), turn it o immediately and consult

your dealer.

Zuma Owner’s Manual

• Refer fuse replacement to qualied service personnel. When the fuse

blows out, eliminate the cause and have it replaced with the fuse pre-

scribed for this unit by a qualied service technician. Incorrect replacement

of the fuse may lead to smoke, re, and damage to the product.

• If the unit does not turn on, check the connecons rst. Then check

whether the fuse in your vehicle’s fuse box is blown and check the fuse at

the unit’s wiring harness.

Observe these warnings and precauons during installaon:

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight or excessive heat. Excessive heat

will raise the interior temperature of the unit, which may damage the unit.

• Do not use the product where it is exposed to water, moisture, or dust.

Exposure of the unit to water, moisture, or dust may lead to smoke, re, or

other damage to the unit and void your warranty. Make sure that the unit

does not get wet in car washes or on rainy days.

• Refer wiring and installaon to qualied service personnel. Installaon of

this unit requires special skills and experience. For maximum safety, have it

installed by your dealer. Retro Manufacturing is not liable for any problems

resulng from your installaon of the unit. Please be sure to follow our

instrucons carefully before aempng installaon.

• Follow the instrucons to install and wire the product. Not following the

instrucons to properly install and wire the product could damage the unit

or cause an accident or re.

• Disconnect the lead from the negave (–) baery terminal before installa-

on. Wiring and installaon with the negave (–) baery terminal con-

nected may cause electrical shock and injury due to a short circuit. Some

cars equipped with an electrical safety system have specic procedures

for baery terminal disconnecon. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE

MAY LEAD TO THE UNINTENDED ACTIVATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SAFETY

SYSTEM RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND PERSONAL INJURY

OR DEATH.

• Take care not to damage the leads. When wiring, take care not to damage

the leads. Prevent them from geng caught in the vehicle chassis, or

from being damaged by screws or moving parts, such as seat rails. Do not

scratch, pull, bend or twist the leads. Do not run them near heat sources or

place heavy objects on them. If leads must be routed around sharp metal

edges, protect the leads by winding them with vinyl tape or similar pro-

tecon. NOTE: Cung the main wire harness, RCA Cables, antenna lead,

auxiliary cables or USB cable will void the warranty of your radio.

Zuma Owner’s Manual

• Use the designated parts and tools for installaon. Use the supplied or

designated parts and appropriate tools to install the product. The use

of parts other than those supplied or designated may result in internal

damage to the unit. Faulty installaon may lead to an accident, malfuncon

or re.

• Do not use safety-related vehicle components Be careful not to wire or

ax this product to the following parts of the vehicle: fuel tank, brake,

suspension, steering wheel, pedals, airbag, etc.

• In the case of installaon to an airbag-equipped car, conrm warnings

and cauons of the vehicle manufacturer before installaon.

• Check for piping, gasoline tank, electric wiring, and other items before

installing the product. If you need to open a hole in the vehicle chassis to

aach or wire the product, rst check where the wire harness, gasoline

tank, and electric wiring are located. Then open the hole from outside if

possible.

• Never install the product in a locaon where it interferes with your eld

of vision.

• Never splice into the power cord to supply other equipment with power.

• Aer installaon and wiring, you should check the normal operaon of

other electrical equipment. The connuaon of their use in abnormal

condions may cause re, electrical shock or a trac accident.

• Make sure the leads do not interfere with driving or geng in and out of

the vehicle.

• Insulate all exposed wires to prevent short circuing.

• Do not operate the unit for a prolonged period with the engine turned

o. Operang the audio system for a long period of me with the engine

turned o will drain the baery.

Installation Warnings

To ensure proper operaon of this RetroSound product, please

read these instrucons carefully before installing and using this

equipment.

This owner’s manual does not cover all possible installaon scenarios. If you

feel you can’t install this product yourself, please take it to a local car audio

professional, or contact us at support@retrosoundusa.com or call

888-325-1555.

IMPORTANT! PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS UNIT REQUIRES +12V TO

BOTH THE RED & YELLOW WIRES, OTHERWISE THE UNIT WILL

NOT OPERATE. CONTACT US IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS.

Disconnect the negave (-) baery cable before beginning installa-

on. Verify the baery ground by checking that one wire is connect-

ed to the starter mounng bolt or engine block and another to the

vehicle chassis using at least #8 gauge wire. Make sure the alterna-

tor connecons are secure and free from corrosion, rust or dirt.

WARNING! To prevent damage to the unit, do not connect the

power connector unl you have completed the wiring process.

This is a 12 volt negave-ground ONLY radio. If you have a posive

ground system, or a 6-volt system, you need to either convert to 12

volts or purchase a separate inverter that would step up the volt-

age to 12 volts. Please note that the inverter needs to be rated at 8

amps or higher in order for the Zuma radio to operate properly.

Zuma Owner’s Manual

Installation Instructions

NOTE: Geng the unit to t perfectly into your dash is probably the most

dicult poron of the install. Paence and persistence is the key. If you sll

have problems, please contact us at [email protected] or

702-483-2222.

The InniMount system oers nearly unlimited installaon opons to accom-

modate your t needs.

To begin, locate the removable InniMount sha system and the InniMount

“L” brackets, as well as two each large and small washers (see “What’s in the

Box” on page 3). For more advanced installaons, please visit our website:

retrosoundusa.com or email [email protected]om.

STEP 1: Install InniMount Brackets

Aach each InniMount bracket using the supplied screws. Before ghtening,

adjust the brackets forward or backward, or rotate to achieve the perfect t.

Complete the assembly with 2 or 4 screws ghtened on either side.

Figure 1 - Attach InniMount Brackets

NOTE: You can move the brackets forward or backward and move them

in any direcon. You can even cut, trim or bend the bracket or create

your own bracket for a more challenging installaon. For more advanced

installaons, please visit our website: retrosoundusa.com or email support@

retrosoundusa.com.

Zuma Owner’s Manual

STEP 2: Mount Shas to Brackets

1. To match the InniMount sha and bracket system to the proper sha

width of your vehicle, rst measure the distance between your exisng

sha holes from center to center.

2. Mount a sha system to each bracket using the supplied sha nuts, metal

and plasc washers.

3. Finger ghten to prepare for the nal installaon (see Figure 2).

Figure 2 - Mount Shaft to Bracket

4. Once sure of the proper width, ghten prior to nal installaon. Be sure to

plug the shas into each side of the main unit to acvate the sha-control

funcons (see Figure 3) (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN). NOTE: Each of the shas

can operate on either side of the radio and are not le/right dependant.

Figure 3 - Insert Shaft Plugs

NOTE: Modifying or cung the radio’s brackets will not void your warranty.

The system is designed to accommodate any installaon scenario.

STEP 3: Complete Wiring Connecons

(See “Wiring Instrucons” on page 12).

Use supplied

washers and nuts

to place shas

onto brackets.

Important: DO NOT

overghten.

Zuma Owner’s Manual

STEP 4: Adjust to Fit Your Vehicle Speci c Kit

One of the most frequent ques ons we get is “How can your radio  t my car?”.

The Zuma radio is a universal solu on (one chassis for most vehicles) and its

control face is a  xed size (3.5” W x 1.5” H). Most American cars  t the radio

and the bezel from behind the dash. The bezel  ts around the Zuma control

face to  ll the original factory opening.

The Zuma control face is NOT referred to as a faceplate. A faceplate is a piece

that overlays or covers the top or front of the dash. A faceplate is used in most

European or Japanese cars, and can also be used on a modi ed dash to disguise

any blemishes or poorly made modi ca ons.

Locate the appropriate bezel or faceplate and perform the following steps to-

mount the radio behind the dash opening:

FACEPLATE: Use the supplied nuts and washers to align the faceplate onto the

sha . DO NOT over ghten. Once the sha s are lined up to the sha openings

on your vehicle-speci c faceplate, use a nut and washer to hold the faceplate in

place on the sha s. Adjust the nut height so that the faceplate aligns  ush with

your dash and the radio’s control face. (See “Figure 4 - Install Vehicle Speci c

Faceplate”).

BEZEL: Place the bezel on the face of the radio and install through the back

opening of your dash.

NOTE: With the faceplate pictured below, the area around the radio face

(chrome or black) mounts on top of the dash.

STEP 5: Install Knobs

Once your radio is installed, follow the steps below to ensure a proper knob t.

1. The included sha covers may be used to cover up excess sha metal

during your installaon (Note: this is an oponal item to install). They can

be cut to any length to conceal the sha and make the install look more

professional. See Figure 5 for an example.

2. Slide the rear knob over the sha, rotang it into the correct posion, and

push it into place. See Figure 6.

3. Mount the front knob. See gure 7 and 8.

Wiring Diagram (Figure 9)

Locate the three wire harnesses: Main Wire Harness, Power Wire Harness and

Speaker Wire Harness (see “What’s in the Box” on page 3). First connect the

Main Wire Harness to the back of the radio. Then connect both the Power and

Speaker Wire harnesses to the black female plug of the Main Wire Harness.

Aer doing this, connect the bare wire ends of your power and speaker wires

to the appropriate power and speaker locaons in your vehicle. (see Figure 9,

“Wiring Diagram” on page 13) Please contact us if you have quesons or have

your radio installed by a professional if this part of the install is too dicult.

Installaon Notes

• To prevent damage to the unit, do not connect the power connector unl

you have completed the wiring process.

• This is a 12 volt negave-ground ONLY radio. If you have a posive ground,

or a 6-volt system, you need to either convert to 12 volts or purchase a

separate inverter that would step up the voltage to 12 volts.

• Please note that the inverter must be rated at 8 amps or higher in order for

the radio to operate properly.

Rear AUX Inputs

Two rear auxiliary inputs alllow you to listen to any portable device with stan-

dard headphone outputs. An example of an external source would be a por-

table CD player, mini disc player, portable cassee recorder, iPod or MP3 player.

Select an auxiliary input mode by turning the le rear knob clockwise unl you

see AUX IN 1 or AUX IN 2 on the Zuma’s screen.

USB Extension Cable

One USB connector cable is located at the rear of the Zuma radio. During instal-

laon, you must route the cable to a convenient and accessible locaon for

plugging in USB devices. If the cable provided is not long enough (40 inches),

you may plug in an oponal USB extension during installaon. Note: Maximum

operaonal distance of a USB cable is 16 feet. For opmum data transfer, we

recommend no more than 12 feet of total cable length.
