Qldentify All Leads
The first step in installation is to identify all the vehi-
cle wires you'll use when hooking up your sound
system,
As you identify each wire, we suggest that you label
it using masking tape and a permanent marker. This
will help avoid confusion when making connections
later,
Note: Do not connect the power connector to the
stereo unit until you have made all connections. If
there are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking
wires, insulate all exposed leads with electrical tape
until you are ready to use them. Identify the leads in
the following order.
Power Lead
If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one :
Cut the connector plug off (leaving the leads as long
as possible) so that you can work with individual
IS
Turn the ignition on to the accessory position, and
ground one lead of the test bulb to the chassis.
Touch the other lead of the test bulb to each of the
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.
Touch one wire at a time until you find the outlet that
causes the test bulb to light.
Now turn the ignition off and then on. If the bulb
also turns off and on, that outlet is the vehicle
power lead.
If your vehicle 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 Lead
If Your stereo unit has a yellow lead, you will need
to locate the vehicle's battery lead. Otherwise you
may ignore this procedure, (The yellow battery lead
provides continuous power to maintain a clock,
memory storage, or other function.)
If your vehicle has a radio or is pre-wired for one:
With the ignition and headlights off, identify the
vehicle battery lead by grounding one lead of the
test bulb to the chassis and checking the remaining
exposed wires from the cut radio connector plug.
If your vehicle is not wired for an audio unit :
Go to the fuse block and find the fuse port for the
battery, usually marked BAT.
Speakers
Identify the vehicle speaker leads. There will be two
leads for each speaker, usually color coded.
17 CO-3700€U.

16
Instal lation G uide continued
A handy way to identify the speaker leads and the
speaker they connect with is to test the leads using
a 1.5 volt AA battery as follows.
Hold one lead against one pole of the battery and
stroke the other lead across the other pole. You will
hear a scraping sound in a speaker if you are hold-
ing a speaker lead.
If not, keep testing different lead combinations until
you have located all the speaker leads. When you
label them, include the speaker location for each.
Antenna
The antenna lead is a thick, black wire with a metal
plug at the end.
3 Connect All Leads
Now that you have identified all the wires in the
vehicle, youre ready to begin connecting them to
the stereo unit wires. The connection diagram on
Page 21, 22 shows the proper connections and
color coding of the leads.
We strongly recommend that you test the unit
before making a final installation.
You can set the unit on the floor and make tempo-
rary connections to test the unit. Use electrical tape
to cover alt exposed wires.
IMPORTANT : Connect the red power lead last,
after you have made and insulated all other connec-
tions.
Ground
Connect the black ground lead of the power con-
nector to the metal vehicle chassis.
CQ-3700EU
Speakers
Connect the speaker wires. See the wiring diagram
below for the proper hookups. Follow the diagram
carefully to avoid damaging the speakers and the
stereo unit.
The speaker used must be able to handie more
than 35 watts of audio power. lí using an optional
audio power, the speakers should be able to handle
the maximum amplifier output power. Speakers
With low input ratings can be damaged.
Speaker impedance should measure 4 - 8 ohms,
which is typically marked on most speakers. Lower
or higher impedance speakers will affect output and
can cause both speaker and stereo unit damage.
CAUTION : Never ground the speaker cords. For
example, do not use a chassis ground system or a
three-wire speaker common system. Each speaker
must be connected separately using parallel insulat-
ed wires, If in doubt about how your vehicle's
speakers are wired, please consult with your near-
est professional installer.

Battery
Connect the yellow battery lead to the correct radio
wire or to the battery fuse port on the fuse block.
Antenna
Connect the antenna by plugging the antenna lead
into the antenna receptacle.
Equipment
Connect any optional equipment such as amplifier,
according to the instructions furnished with the
equipment. Keep about 12 inches (30 cm) of dis-
tance between the speaker cords/amplifier unit and
the antenna/antenna extension cord. Read the
operating and installation instructions for any equip-
ment you will connect to this unit.
Accessory (ACC) Power
Connect the red power lead to the correct vehicle
radio wire or to the appropriate fuse port on the fuse
block.
If the stereo unit functions properly with all these
connections made, disconnect the wires and pro-
ceed to the final installation.
J Final Installation
Lead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each connec-
tion is insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires
and fasten them with tape so they won't fall down
later. Now insert the stereo unit into the mounting
collar.
Congratulations! After making a few final checks,
you're ready to enjoy your new auto stereo system.
OU Final Checks
1. Make sure that all wires are properly connect-
ed and insulated.
2. Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held
in the mounting collar.
3. Turn on the ignition to check the unit for prop-
er operation.
If you have difficulties, consult your nearest autho-
rized professional installer for assistance.
