WARNING

To prevent short circuits during installation, always disconnect the vehicle’s

negative (-) battery lead before making any connections.

Ÿ This unit is exclusively for vehicles with a negative ground, 12V battery system.

Ÿ A good chassis ground connection is critical to minimize resistance and avoid noise

problems. Use the shortest wire possible and securely connect it to the car chassis and

the source unit ground.

Ÿ When routing RCA cables, keep the cables away from the power cables and output

speaker wires.

Ÿ If you are using a source unit without a remote turn-on lead, the EQS755 can be turned

on with a switched accessory lead. This accessory power source is located in the

factory harness at the back of the radio. This lead turns on and off with the ignition key.

Ÿ Do not open the case. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If you require

assistance, consult your Clarion dealer or an authorized Clarion service center.

Tools and additional components

You will need:

• A Phillips-head screwdriver when mounting the unit in the vehicle.

• A small flat-head screwdriver to adjust the AUX gain controls if you connect an MP3

player or video source.

• High-quality RCA input and output cables.

Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as an antenna for noise. Use only highquality

RCA cables that are no longer than necessary to make a direct connection with the source

unit and amplifiers.
