52 Radio Installation
vehicle owner has the necessary information to 
make all electronic equipment function correctly 
after battery reconnection.
Caution: If the battery is not disconnected, exercise extreme 
caution throughout the installation and install the 
fuses only when the installation is ready to be 
checked (see “Checking the installation” on 
page 54).
1 Disconnect the vehicle’s battery, unless specifically 
prohibited from doing so by the customer, vehicle manu-
facturer, agent or supplier.
2 Run the power cable between the radio’s mounting posi-
tion and the vehicle battery.
Caution:
The power cable should be protected from engine 
heat, sharp edges and from being pinched or crushed.
3 Cut the power cable to length, allowing about 20cm 
(8 inches) excess at the radio end.
4 Cut the negative and the positive wires where the in-line 
fuse holders will be placed (as close to the battery 
as possible).
Caution: Do not install the fuses until the installation is 
ready to be checked.
5 Insert each end of the negative wire into one of the in-
line fuse holders and crimp them to force the metal 
contacts onto the wires. 
6 Connect the negative wire to the battery ground.
7 Repeat step 5 for the positive wire and connect it to the 
positive terminal of the battery.
