AM/FM Stereo Car Cassette
(120-1924)            Electrical Connections          Faxback Doc. # 19561

Make all electrical connections before installing the unit.

If, after reading the following instructions, you are unsure about
performing the installation, ... with questions like, "Is my car negative
ground?  Which cord is the power cable?  How do I connect it to the fuse
box?" ... we suggest you have the unit installed by a qualified electronic
technician.

IMPROPER WIRING CAN DAMAGE YOUR VEHICLE'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

This unit is designed for 12-volt DC negative-ground operation.  If your
vehicle or boat does not provide 12-volt negative ground, you can find the
correct adapter at your Radio Shack store.

First, make all connections to the 5-pin plug cable assembly as shown in
Figure 2.  After all connections have been made, double check to be sure
they are in the correct order.  Then plug the cable into the receptacle on
the rear panel.

Each speaker must have a separate terminal connection.  Be sure to keep the
right and left speaker terminal leads seaprated - never interchange these
wires.  Never connect the terminals of the speakers to a common ground
point or to the chassis ground.

Always connect the red wire to the ACCessory terminal that can be switched
off.  If you are replacing a factory-installed radio, do not use the
original harness ground wire provided by the car manufacturer.  This often
does not provide adequate grounding.  Connect the radio ground lead (black
wire) to the nearest screw which makes solid contact with the metal car
chassis.

A complete selection of speakers is available at your local Radio Shack
store.

Antenna Connection

If your vehicle has an antenna, pullout the antenna lead from its present
connection and connect it to the antenna receptacle on the rear panel of
the unit.  If an antenna is not installed, visit your local Radio Shack
store for a suitable antenna.

CAUTION:  To avoid unnecessary damage to your car radio, speaker, and/or
          equalizer/amplifier, make sure all connections are properly
          insulated and connected according to the following diagram.

1.  Connect the RED lead (with in-line fuse holder) to an accessory
    terminal on the fuse block.  This line gives the unit its power when
    the ignition is turned on.

2.  Connect the BLACK (Ground) lead to one of the frame screws of the
    vehicle.

3.  The ORANGE lead in the power harness is a switched power lead to be
    used with an automatic antenna.

4.  Connect the RED/WHITE lead (with in-line fuse holder) to the positive
    pole of the battery.  This line gives continuous power to the memory
    circuit.

5.  Connect the Speaker wires:

    BROWN: to the "+" side of the right speaker.  Normally the terminal has
           a "+" or a red mark.
    GREEN: to the "+" side of the left speaker.
    WHITE: to the minus (-) or unmarked side of the left speaker.
    GRAY:  to the minus (-) or unmarked side of the right speaker.
