SEE NOTE
NOTE:
Caution: if you choose to connect the radio’s IGNITION line directly to the car’s battery, excess use of the radio when the car’s ignition is not running (i.e. alternator running)
could result in a slow discharge of the car’s battery. This configuration allows the radio to operate with the car’s ignition switch ON or OFF.
If the radio’s IGNITION line is wired to the car’s ignition switch, the radio will only function when the car’s ignition switch is turned ON.
