AM/FM Stereo Cassette Player
(120-1909)                  Electrical Connections    Faxback Doc. # 33221

It is recommended that you make all electrical connections before
installing the unit.

Although installation is relatively simple, it does require some
mechanical and electrical ability.  Incorrect installation could damage
both the unit and the vehicle's electrical system.  If you have any doubts
about your ability, have the unit installed by a qualified professional.

NOTE:  This unit is designed for 12-volt DC negative ground operation.  If
       your vehicle or boat does not provide 12-volts negative ground, you
       you need a voltage inverter such as Radio Shack's 22-129.

1.  Connect wires from the 5-pin plug to speakers and power source (12
    volts DC).

    NOTE:  The power source must be +12 volts DC; the best location to
           pick up this voltage would be at the fuse block of your vehicle
           --an accessory terminal.

2.  Connect the antenna cable from your vehicle's antenna to the connector
    on the back of the Radio/Player.

3.  Connect the red/white wire (with in-line fuse holder) to a constant
    source of 12 volt DC power.
    This connection must be made to a 12-volt source that is always "hot"
    (i.e., not switched on by the ignition).  This lead provides the
    constant voltage needed to power the clock and memory.  Make direct
    connection to either the + terminal on the battery or the incoming
    12-volt DC line to the fuse block.

4.  Connect the single black wire from the back of the Radio/Tape Player
    to a chassis ground point on your vehicle.  This can be under a
    screw-head which is securely fastened to the metal frame of the
    vehicle.

5.  The orange wire is a switched power lead to be used with an external
    amplifier (such as Radio Shack Cat. No. 12-1866) or an automatic
    antenna.  An accessory connected to this power lead will turn on and
    off with the 12-1909.

SPECIAL NOTE:  Be sure you keep right and left -- speaker terminal leads
               separated.  Never interchange these wires.  Each speaker
               must have a separate -- terminal connection.  Never connect
               the -- terminals of the speaker to a common ground point,
               or to the chassis ground.
