Identify All LeadsThe first step in installation is to identify all the car wiresyou’ll use when hooking up your LCD monitor.As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label itusing masking tape and a permanent marker. This willhelp avoid confusion when making connections later.

Note: Do not connect the power connector to the displayunit until you have made all connections. If there are noplastic caps on the hooking wires, insulate all exposedleads with electrical tape until you are ready to use them.Identify the leads in the following order.

Power LeadIf your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:Cut the connector wires one at a time from the plug (leav-ing the leads as long as possible) so that you can workwith individual leads. Turn the ignition on to the accessoryposition, and ground one lead of the test bulb to the chas-sis.

Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the exposedwires from the cut radio connector plug. Touch one wire at atime until you find the outlet that causes the test bulb tolight.

Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb also turnsoff and on, that outlet is the car power lead.

If your car is not wired for an audio unit: Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for radio(RADIO) accessory (ACC) or ignition (IGN).

Battery LeadIf your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need tolocate the car's battery lead. Otherwise you may ignorethis procedure. (The yellow battery lead provides continu-

ous power to maintain a clock or other functions.)

If your car has a radio or is pre-wired for one:With the ignition and headlights off, identify the car batterylead by grounding one lead of the test bulb to the chassisand checking the remaining exposed wires from the cutradio connector plug.

If your car is not wired for an audio unit: Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the battery,usually marked BAT.

Speakers (not supplied)Identify the car speaker leads. There are two leads for eachspeaker, usually color coded.A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the speakerthey are connected with is to test the leads using a 1.5 VAA battery as follows.Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and strokethe other lead across the other pole. You will hear a scrap-ing sound in a speaker if you are holding a speaker lead.If not, keep testing different lead combinations until youhave located all the speaker leads. When you label them,include the speaker location for each.

Connect All LeadsNow that you have identified all the wires in the car, you'reready to begin connecting them to the LCD monitor wires.Electrical Connections (a page 18-27) shows the properconnections and color coding of the leads.We strongly recommend that you test the unit before mak-ing a final installation.You can set the unit on the floor and make temporary con-nections to test the unit. Use electrical tape to cover allexposed wires.

Important: Connect the red power lead last, after youhave made and insulated all other connections.

GroundConnect the black ground lead of the power connector tothe metal car chassis.

SpeakersConnect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram for theproper hookups. Follow the diagram carefully to avoiddamaging the speakers and the stereo unit.The speakers used must be able to handle more than 70 W(Center Speaker: 35W) of audio power. If using an optionalaudio power, the speakers should be able to handle themaximum amplifier output power. Speakers with low inputratings can be damaged.

Speaker impedance should measure 4–8 Ω, which is typi-cally marked on most speakers. Lower or higher imped-ance speakers will affect output and can cause both speak-er and stereo unit damage.

BatteryConnect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio wire orto the battery fuse port on the fuse block.

EquipmentConnect any optional equipment according to the instruc-tions furnished with the equipment. Read the operatingand installation instructions of any equipment you willconnect to this unit.

PowerConnect the red power lead to the correct car radio wire orto the appropriate fuse port on the fuse block.If the LCD monitor functions properly with all these con-nections made, disconnect the wires and proceed to thefinal installation.

Final Installation Lead ConnectionsConnect all wires, making sure that each connection isinsulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires and fastenthem with tape so they will not fall down later. Now insertthe LCD monitor into the mounting collar.

Congratulations! After making a few final checks, you’reready to enjoy your new LCD monitor.
