ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Power Connections — To prevent short circuits and/or serious damage:
* Disconnect the vehicle battery's negative terminal before making connections.
° Use this unit only with negative ground 12 Volt (11-16 Volt) direct current (DC).
« Connect leads according to the wiring diagram.
« The total amperage required by the blue (remote) lead for triggering the antenna motor must not
exceed 100 mA. We don't recommend connecting these leads to the main power input on an
amplifier or anything eise.
* The green cellular phone interrupt lead is for muting the audio sound while a cellular ida is in use.
Connect this wire to the appropriate control terminal of the phone equipment.

« Connect the orange lead to the dashboard dimmer lead.
° You can use the brown lead to the switch on an external amplifier. Connect this lead to the
amplifier's remote input. (It should not be connected to the amplifiers power input.)
» Connect the red power input lead only after the other leads are connected. And be sure to connect it
to a positive (+) 12 Volt power terminal that is energized only when the ignition key is set to the
accessory position or on position.
* Connect the black lead to a grounded metal part of the vehicle. We recommend grounding all audio
system biack ground leads (head unit, external amplifier, etc.) to a common ground point.
Speaker Connections
The Lexington's CM84's Flex Fader allows you to fade between the front and the rear of the vehicle
using either the speaker leads and/or the preamp outputs, providing you tremendous flexibility in
configuring your speaker arrangement:
* You can connect speakers or speakers systems to each of the units' four speaker leads.
|
* You can connect the 4 RCA preamp outputs to external amplifiers and power up to four speakers or
speaker systems to the amplifiers. (Blaupunkt amplifiers and speakers available separately).
,
* You can use a combination of these two methods, allowing your Lexington to provide sound to up to
eight speakers or speaker systems.
Pre-Amp Output Connections To External Amplifier(s) — To prevent short circuits serious
damage to the unit and/or speakers:
* Following the amplifier's instructions, connect Lexington preamp outputs to the external amplifier
and connect the speaker(s) or speaker system(s) directly to the amplifier.
