Cautions

This unit is designed for negative ground (earth) 12 V DC operation only. Do not get the leads under a screw, or caught in moving parts (e.g. seat raiJing). Before making connections, tum the boat's ignition off to avoid short circuits. Connect the yellow and red power supply leads only after all other leads have been connected. Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point. Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety. The use of optical instrumel1ls with this product will increase eye hazard. Notes on the power supply lead (yellow) When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the connected boat circuit's rating must be higher than the sum of each component's fuse. When no boat circuits are rated high enough, connect the unit directly to the battery. CDX-M50IP only iPod is a trademark of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and

other countries.

Cet appareil est con~u exclusivement pour fonctionner sur un courant continu de 12 V avec masse negative. Evitez de coincer les cables sous des vis ou dans des pieces mobiles (par exemple, armature de siege). Avant d'effectuer les raccordements, coupez Ie contact du bateau pour eviter les courts-circuits. Raccordez les cables d'entree d'alimentation jaune et rouge seulement apres avoir termine tous les autres Rassemblez tous les cables de mise a la masse en un point de masse commun.
