• Before finally installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily, making sure it is all connected 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 modifications of

the vehicle.

• Install the unit where it does not get in the driver’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.

• To prevent the ASL unit hanging from the main unit from scratching the main unit or your car

console, it is wrapped in bubble packaging. When installing, be sure to first remove the bubble

packaging to assure the unit functions correctly.

• If installation angle exceeds 60° from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance.

Installation with the Rubber Bush

Holder

After inserting the holder into the dashboard, then select the

appropriate tabs according to the thickness of the dashboard

material and bend them. (Install as firmly possible using the

top and bottom tabs. To secure, bend the tabs 90 degrees.)

WARNING

• Avoid installing this unit in such a location where the operation of safety devices such as airbags is

prevented by this unit. Otherwise, there is a danger of a fatal accident.

• Avoid installing this unit in such a location where the operation of the steering wheel and the gearshift

lever may be prevented. Otherwise, it may result in a traffic accident.



CAUTION

• Installation of this unit requires specialized skills and experience. Installation of this unit should be

entrusted to a dealer from whom you purchased this unit.

• Install this unit using only the parts supplied with this unit. If other parts are used, this unit may be

damaged or could dismount itself, which leads to an accident or trouble.

• Install this unit as required by this manual. Failure to do so may cause an accident.

• Do not install this unit near the doors where rainwater is likely to be spilled on the unit. Incursion of

water into the unit may cause smoke or fire.



WARNING

• Fix this unit securely to the steering wheel with the belt attached to the unit. If this unit is loose, it

disturbs driving stability, which may result in a traffic accident.

• Do not attach this unit to the outer circumference of the steering wheel. Otherwise, it disturbs driving

stability, causing a traffic accident. Always attach this unit to the inner circumference of the steering

wheel as shown.

1RWH

• Do not install this unit in such a place as may obstruct the driver's view.

• Since interior layout differs depending on the type of vehicle, the ideal installation location for the

unit also differs. When installing the unit, select a location that assures optimum transmission of

signals from the unit to the car stereo.

Installing the Unit on a Left-Hand-Drive Car

• This unit is for vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative grounding. Before installing it in a

recreational vehicle, truck, or bus, check the battery voltage.

• To avoid shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the

battery cable before beginning

installation.

• Refer to the owner’s manual for details on connecting the power amp and other units, then make

connections correctly.

• Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhesive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhesive tape

around them where they lie against metal parts.

• Route and secure all wiring so it cannot touch any moving parts, such as the gear shift, handbrake,

and seat rails. Do not route wiring in places that get hot, such as near the heater outlet. If the insulation

of the wiring melts or gets torn, there is a danger of the wiring short-circuiting to the vehicle body.

• Don’t pass the yellow lead through a hole into the engine compartment to connect to the battery. This

will damage the lead insulation and cause a very dangerous short.

• Do not shorten any leads. If you do, the protection circuit may fail to work when it should.

• Never feed power to other equipment by cutting the insulation of the power supply lead of the unit

and tapping into the lead. The current capacity of the lead will be exceeded, causing overheating.

• When replacing fuse, be sure to use only fuse of the rating prescribed on the fuse holder.

• Since a unique BPTL circuit is employed, never wire so the speaker leads are directly grounded or

the left and right

speaker leads are common.

• The black lead is ground. Please ground this lead separately from the ground of high-current products

such as power amps.

If you ground the products together and the ground becomes detached, there is a risk of damage to the

products or fire.

• If the RCA pin jack on the unit will not be used, do not remove the caps attached to the end of the

connector.

• Speakers connected to this unit must be high-power types with minimum rating of 45 W and

impedance of 4 to 8 ohms. Connecting speakers with output and/or impedance values other than those

noted here may result in the speakers catching fire, emitting smoke, or becoming damaged.



• When this product’s source is switched ON, a control signal is output through the blue/white lead.

Connect to an external power amp’s system remote control or the car’s Auto-antenna relay control

terminal (max. 300 mA 12 V DC). If the car features a glass antenna, connect to the antenna booster

power supply terminal.

• When an external power amp is being used with this system, be sure not to connect the blue/white

lead to the amp’s power terminal. Likewise, do not connect the blue/white lead to the power terminal

of the auto-antenna. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and malfunction.

• To avoid short-circuiting, cover the disconnected lead with insulating tape. Especially, insulate the

unused speaker leads without fail. There is a possibility of short-circuiting if the leads are not

insulated.

• To prevent incorrect connection, the input side of the IP-BUS connector is blue, and the output side

is black. Connect the connectors of the same colors correctly.

• If this unit is installed in a vehicle that does not have an ACC (accessory) position on the ignition

switch, the red lead of the unit should be connected to a terminal coupled with ignition switch ON/

OFF operations. If this is not done, the vehicle battery may be drained when you are away from the

vehicle for several hours.

• Cords for this product and those for other products may be different colors even if they have

the same function. When connecting this product to another product, refer to the supplied

Installation manuals of both products and connect cords that have the same function.
