5 1 2 3 7 4 Controls And Functions 1. CIRCUIT BREAKER. This protection device will trip if the line current exceeds the rating of the circuit breaker, causing the amplifier to shut down completely. This operates the same as a standard line fuse, except that it is resettable from the front panel after cooling down for a few seconds. 2. POWER SWITCH. When this switch is engaged, the power turns ON, the PROTECT lights flash red and the Power indicators illuminate.

Installation Location and General Precautions Observe the following precautions when choosing a location for your amplifier. A. Do not expose the unit to rain or moisture. If a fluid or foreign object should enter the unit, disconnect the power plug and contact an authorized dealer or service center. Do not pull out the plug by pulling on the cord; grasp the plug firmly. B. Protect from heat and allow adequate ventilation. Place away from direct sources of heat, such as heating vents and radiators.

Output Wiring (See page 17 for recommended Carver Professional Accessories). Use heavy gauge cable for speaker connections. The greater the distance between the amplifier and the speakers, the larger the diameter the cable should be to minimize power losses across the cable and improve the damping of the speaker.
