3. GENERAL CAUTIONS

1. Do not open the case. There are no user serviceable parts inside. If you drop anything into the unit during installation, consult your dealer or an authorized CLARION service centre. 2. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the case. Never use a rough cloth, thinner, benzine, or alcohol, etc. For tough dirt, apply a little cold or warm water to a soft cloth and wipe off the dirt gently.
4. CAUTIONS ON INSTALLATION
1. Prepare all articles necessary for installing the main unit before starting. 2. This model is used with the LCD panel slid forwards (shell loading system). On some types of cars, the LCD panel may touch the dashboard or shift lever, in which case it cannot be installed. Check that the set will not hamper operation of the shift lever before choosing the place of installation.(Figure 2)

s Fixed Mount (TOYOTA, NISSAN and other ISO/DIN equipped vehicles)
This unit is designed for fixed installation in the dashboard. If the vehicle is equipped with a factory-installed radio, install the main unit with the parts and screws marked (). (Figure 8) If the vehicle is not equipped with a factory-installed radio, obtain an installation kit to install the main unit in the following procedure. 1. Remove the screws from both side of the main unit. Then, at either side, lift the leaf spring until the engaging claws are released from the holes, and slide the spring to the di-

rection of arrow to remove it. Repeat the same for the other side to remove the springs from the both sides. (Figure 7) 2. Secure the mounting brackets to the chassis as shown in Figure 8. Holes are pre-tapped for TOYOTA and NISSAN vehicles; modification, such as drilling new holes, of the mounting brackets may be required for other models. 3. Wire as shown in Section 8. 4. Secure the unit in the dashboard, and then reassemble the dashboard and the centre panel.

7. CAUTIONS ON WIRING

1. Be sure to turn the power off before wiring. 2. Be particularly careful where you route the wires. Keep them well away from the engine, and exhaust pipe, etc. Heat may damage the wires. 3. If the fuse should blow, check to see if the wiring is correct. If it is, replace the fuse with a new one with the same amperage rating as the original. 4. To replace the fuse, remove the old fuse of the power supply lead and insert the new one. (Figure10)
Power supply lead for the tuner amp unit : 15A FUSE Power supply lead for the main unit : 3A FUSE

Note: There are various types of fuse holder. Do not let the battery side touch other metal parts.

CAUTION

After the connection, fix the lead by a clamp or insulation tape for protection.
