ground-independent antenna. See the installation instructions
provided with your antenna for more information.

The yellow and red wires have different
functions, and the method you use to connect them to power depends on
how you plan to use the stereo on your vessel.
Yellow wire
• This wire provides power to the stereo.
• This wire should be connected through a 15A circuit breaker, if one is
available on the vessel.
NOTICE
If a 15A circuit breaker is not available on the vessel, you must
connect this wire to power through a 15A fuse (not included).
