Default Installing A New Radio in a 1998

I bought this radio https://www.amazon.com/XO-Vision-Wir.../dp/B015R34LPE about a week ago to put in my 1998 Ford Mustang convertible. However the wiring diagrams use different terms for the power. A website I found, http://www.modifiedlife.com/car-ster...-ford-mustang/ , labels the power wires as "Radio Constant 12V+ Wire" and "Radio Switched 12V+ Wire". The new radio I purchased has them labeled as "12V Iginition/Accesory" and "12V Battery/Memory". I just need to know which wire goes to which.

"Constant" goes to "Battery/Memory"

"switched" goes to "ignition/accessory."

the radio draws all of its power from the constant feed; the switched circuit is only there to tell the radio to turn on.
