MAKING THE CONNECTIONS
The supplied wiring harness with its 14-pin connector includes all the
lead wires you need to connect the stereo to ground, power, some optional
components, and speakers.
IMPORTANT: Do not cut these wires. If you cut any wire, you cannot obtain
a refund or exchange on this product. RadioShack will provide
warranty service if you cut a wire and find the product is
defective.
You might need additional wire to complete the connections, depending on
your individual auto sound system. Your local RadioShack store carries a
full line of wire and wire management accessories.
CAUTIONS: You must connect the GROUND, POWER LEAD, and CLOCK MEMORY wires
first, then make all other connections as described in the
following sections before you plug the wiring harness into the
stereo. If you do not make the connections in the order shown,
an incorrect connection could damage the stereo.
You must connect a separate wire to each speaker terminal as
described in "Connecting Two Pairs of Speakers" or "Connecting
One Pair of Speakers", below. Do not use a common wire or
chassis ground for any speaker connection.
Connecting Ground, Power, and Optional Components
Follow these steps to connect the wiring harness to ground, power, clock
memory, and optional components.
1. Disconnect the cable from your vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal
2. Connect the black ground wire to a chassis ground, such as a metal
screw attached to a metal part of the vehicle's frame. Be sure the
screw is not insulated from the chassis by a plastic or rubber part.
3. Connect the red power lead wire (with in-line fuse holder) to a point
in your vehicle's fuse block that has power only when you turn the
vehicle's key to either the accessory (ACC) or START position.
This connection turns on the stereo when you turn on the ignition or
