8-Track Auto Tape Player (120-1802) Installation Faxback Doc. # 6670 Before You Start: 1. Determine the best location. Be sure the controls are within the driver's reach and the unit will not obstruct any of the vehicle's controls. 2. Consider how you will do the wiring-you might want to make some or all of the electrical connections before the mechanical installation. 3. When you drill holes, be very careful not to damage your car's wiring or trim. 4. Be sure your vehicle has the correct voltage and polarity before making any electrical connection. It must be 12-volt, DC, negative ground. 5. Never operate the unit with the speakers disconnected. 6. At each step, be sure the electrical and mechanical connections are tightly secured. WIRING This player is designed for 12-volt, negative ground electrical systems. If your vehicle's electrical system is different, you will need a special adapter from you Radio Shack store. 1. Connect the single Black wire to the frame of the vehicle or the negative side of the battery. 2. Connect the Red wire (with the in-line fuse holder) to an accessory terminal on the vehicle's fuse block. 3. Connect the Green wire to the marked terminal on the left speaker. 4. Connect the Gray wire to the marked terminal on the right speaker. 5. Connect the Black wires to the unmarked terminals of both speakers. 6. After checking all the connections, plug the connector into the real-panel receptacle. SPEAKERS Your tape player is designed for use with one 4-8 ohm speaker per channel.
