Stereo Frequency Equalizer/Booster
(120-1863)                 Installation               Faxback Doc. # 33232

INSTALLATION NOTE:

You may either connect the Electrical Wiring or install your Equalizer/
Booster first - whichever is most convenient for you.

If, after reading the following instructions, you are unsure about
performing the installation (questions like, "Is my car negative ground?
Which cord is the power cable? How do I connect to fuse box?"), we suggest
you have the booster installed by a qualified electronics technician.
IMPROPER WIRING OF THE POWER BOOSTER COULD DAMAGE YOUR CAR'S
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

Disconnect the power cable connector from your stereo Radio or Tape Player
and plug it into the connector from the Equalizer / Booster.

Fasten the single black wire from the Equalizer/Booster to a convenient
metal frame connection of your vehicle (or (-) battery terminal).  If you
have not already done so, connect wires to the Speakers.  Connect red wire
with in-line fuse to a source of +12 volts DC (the fuse box is a handy
point for this connection).

Be sure that you keep right and left speaker ground/common leads separated
(don't interchange these wires).

IMPORTANT WIRING NOTE

Each speaker MUST have a SEPARATE ground wire connection.  DO NOT use a
common wire for the minus (-) side of the speakers.  DO NOT connect the
minus (-) side of the speakers to a common ground point.

CAUTION

If your stereo Radio or Tape Player requires a connector which differs from
the one on your Equalizer/Booster, we suggest you take your car to a
qualified Electronics Service Technician and have him rewire as necessary.
He may find our Universal Car Stereo Connector (Cat, No. 270-017) helpful
in making these connections.  Improper connections can result in damage to
the Equalizer/Booster, Radio, Tape Player . .or even to the wiring of your
vehicle.

In-Line Fuses

If existing fuses for the Radio or Tape Player are 2A or 3A, use a 5A fuse
between the Equalizer/Booster and 12-volt power source.  If the Radio or
Tape Player comes with a 4A or 5A fuse, then use a 7A fuse between the
Equalizer/Booster and power source must always be higher than rating of
fuse for Radio or Tape Player).

NOTE:  5A fuses come supplied with the Equalizer/Booster.  Change as
       required if  your Radio or Tape Player uses other than a 3A fuse.

MOUNTING THE EQUALIZER/BOOSTER

First, select a suitable mounting location.  It must be:

1.  Close enough to the Stereo Radio or Tape Player so interconnection can
    be made.

2.  Close enough to a power source of 12 volts DC so power cable will
    reach.

3.  Convenient for use (easy to switch on and off and adjust controls as
    desired).

Then, install the Equalizer/Booster using the brackets, washers and screws
provided.

Mount the brackets to the unit.  Use the unit, with brackets mounted, as a
template to mark the holes to be drilled.

Take care that your don't drill into existing wires, etc.  Then mount unit
to the dashboard with lock washers and screws.
