IMPORTANT NOTICE
Whenever working on the vehicle, it is recommended to disconnect the battery prior to starting work.
Failure to do so may lead to a risk of electric shock or equipment damage.
When connecting power and ground wires ensure that the red power wire is fused at the point
where it is connected to the vehicle’s battery. Failure to do so can result in damage to the vehicle if a
short circuit develops between the vehicle connection point and the product.
