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 5). 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 14) 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 Model Two’s screen.
USB Extension Cable
Two USB connector cables are located at the rear of the Model Two radio.
During installaon, you must route the cable(s) to a convenient and acces-
sible locaon for plugging in USB devices. If the cable(s) provided are not long
enough (40 inches), you may plug in oponal USB extensions during installaon.
