[. . . ] The unit may be damaged or fail to work if you share the - wires or ground them to any metal part in the car. € When only two speakers are being connected to the system, connect the connectors either to both the front output terminals or to both the rear output terminals (do not mix front and rear). For example, if you connect the + connector of the left speaker to a front output terminal, do not connect the - connector to a rear output terminal. € After the unit is installed, check whether the brake lamps, blinkers, wipers, etc. [. . . ] € Mount the unit so that the mounting angle is 30° or less. € This unit has the cooling fan (page 5) to decrease the internal temperature. Do not mount the unit in a place where the cooling fan of the unit are blocked. Blocking these openings will inhibit the cooling of the internal temperature and result in malfunction. 2WARNING • If you connect the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow) to the car chassis (ground), you may cause a short circuit, that in turn may start a fire. Always connect those wires to the power source running through the fuse box. € Do not cut out the fuse from the ignition wire (red) and the battery wire (yellow). The power supply must be connected to the wires via the fuse. Acquiring GPS Signals The first time you turn on the DNX7380BTM, you must wait while the system acquires satellite signals for the first time. This process could take up to several minutes. Make sure your vehicle is outdoors in an open area away from tall buildings and trees for fastest acquisition. If the unit is unstable, it may malfunction (eg, the sound may skip). 25 11:44:41 Installing the GPS Antenna GPS antenna is installed inside of the car.

You can bend the metal plate (Accessory 4) to conform to a curved surface, if necessary. Place the GPS antenna (Accessory 3) on top of the metal plate (Accessory 4). Accessory 3 Accessory 4 ¤ • Depending on the type of car, reception of the GPS satellite signals might not be possible with an inside installation. € The GPS antenna should be installed at a position that is spaced at least 12 inch (30 cm) from cellular phone or other transmitting antennas. Signals from the GPS satellite may be interfered with by these types of communication. [. . . ] Signals from the GPS satellite may be interfered with by these types of communication. € Painting the GPS antenna with (metallic) paint may cause a drop in performance. Engage the catch pins on the removal tool 6 and remove the two locks on the lower level. Lower the frame and pull it forward as shown in the figure. [. . . ]
