• Wiring
•
Take
the battery wire for this unit directly from the
battery. If it's connected
to
the vehicle's wiring
harness, it can cause blown
fuses
etc.
If a buzzing noise
is
heard from the speakers when
the engine
is
running, connect a line noise filter
(optional)
to
each
of
the battery wire.
• Do not allow the wire to directly contact the edge
of
the iron plate by using Grommets.
• Connect the ground wire to a metal part
of
the
car
chassis
that acts
as
an
electrical ground passing
electricity to the battery's negative
E,
terminal.
Do
not
turn the power on
if
the ground wire
is
not
connected.
Be
sure
to install a protective fuse in the power
cord near the battery. The protective fuse should
be the same capacity
as
the uriit's fuse capacity or
somewhat larger.
For
the power cord and ground,
use
a vehicle type
(fireproof) power wring cord with a current capacity
greater than the unit's fuse capacity.
(Use
a power
wiring cord with the range
of
14
mm
2
(AWG
6) to
21
mm
2
(/\WG
4).
• When more than one power amplifier
are
going
to be used,
use
a power supply wiring wire and
protective fuse
of
greater current-handling capacity
than the total maximum current drawn by each
amplifier.
• Speaker Selection
• The rated
input
power
of
the speakers that
are
going to be connected should be greater than the
maximum
output
power
(in
Watts)
of
the amplifier.
Use
of
speakers haVing input power ratings that
are
less
than the
output
power of
the
amplifier will
cause smoke to be emitted
as
well
as
damage.
· The irnpedance
of
the speakers that
are
going
to
be
connected should be
20
or greater (for
stereo connections),
01"
40
or greater (for bridged
connections).
VVhen
more than one
set
of
speakers
are
going
to
be
used,
calculate the combined
impedance
of
the speakers and then connect
suitable speakers
to
the amplifier.

This
Product
is
not
installed by the manufacturer
of
a
vehicle on the production line, nor by the professional
importer
of
a vehicle into
an
FU
Member
State.
To
prevent
battery
rise
When the unit
is
used
in
the
ACC
ON
position
without
turning the engine
ON,
it depletes the battery.
Use
it
after starting the engine.
Protection function
The protection function
is
activated in the following
situations:
This
unit
is
equipped with a protection function for
protecting this unit and your speakers from various
accidents or problems that can occur.
When the protection function
is
triggered, the
PfiOTFCTIOI\J
indicator lights and the amplifier stops
operatirg.
• When a speaker wire may be short-circuited.
• When a speaker
output
contacts ground.
• When the unit malfunctions and a
DC
signal
is
sent
to the speaker output.
Cleaning
the
unit
If the front panel gets dirty, turn
off
the power and
wipe the panel with a dry silicon cloth or soft cloth.
I
ACAUTION
I
Do
not
wipe the panel
with
a hard cloth or a cloth
dampened by volatile solvents such
as
paint thinner
and alcohol. They
can
scratch the surface
of
the panel
and/or cause the indicator letters to peel off.
