Leads
The first step in installation is
to
identify all the
vehicle 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 mak-
ing connections later.
Note:
Do
not connect
the power connector to
the
stereo unit until
you have
made
all connections. lf
there are no plastic caps on the stereo hooking
wires, insulate all exposed leads with electrical
tape until you are ready to use them. ldentify
the
leads
in
the following order.
