Care and maintenance

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust and dirt from the unit.

Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, or other cleaners. These substances may damage the unit or cause the paint to peel.

Servicing the unit

In the event that trouble arises, never open the case or disassemble the unit. The internal parts are not serviceable by the user. Opening any components will void the warranty.

CAUTION!

Changes or modifications to this product not approved by the manufacturer will void the warranty and will violate FCC ap- proval.

5. INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Read these instructions and the following precautions carefully.

What is included in the box

In addition to this manual, the box contains:

Amplifier

High-level speaker input harness

Mounting precautions

If you lack the necessary skills, do not install the amplifier yourself. See your authorized Clarion dealer for installation recommendations.

This unit is exclusively for vehicles with a negative ground, 12V power supply.

This unit requires additional mobile audio components for proper operation.

Choose a location in the vehicle that provides adequate ventilation around the amplifier. Although any moving air dissipates heat, cool air should run along the length of the fins rather than across them.

CAUTION

Although Clarion amplifiers include heat sinks and protection circuits, mounting an amplifier in a tight space without any air movement will damage the unit’s internal circuitry over time.
