Safety Concerns, Installation Warnings | Blaupunkt VA1400 manual

SAFETY CONCERNS

We always recommend you have your Blaupunkt amplifiers professionally installed but the installation process is often so easy that the average consumer can achieve success with little trouble. Regardless of the person installing, you should be sure to review the following points before proceeding with the installation:

•READ THE MANUAL! Understanding the product and installation limitations before lifting a screwdriver.

•WEAR SAFETY GLASSES AT ALL TIMES - Flying debris are always dangerous.

•PROTECT THE VEHICLE - Always disconnect the negative battery cable before starting any kind of installation work. This prevents a possible high current electrical short (potential fires).

•HEAT - Keep all audio components away from nearby hot vehicle components that heat up over time such as hoses, high current wires, and braking system components.

•GIVE YOURSELF LOTS OF TIME - Rushing to complete an installation nearly always ends up with problems.

•DO NOT LISTEN AT HIGH SOUND LEVELS FOR A PROLONGED TIME - these amplifiers, used with high efficiency speakers from ANY manufacturer, have the potential to cause permanent hearing loss after listening at maximum volume levels for several hours.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS!

Before disassembling your beautiful new car you need some basic installation knowledge and skill with common hand and power tools. Following such basic installation tips and warnings will prevent possible damage to the vehicle and also prevent possible fires.

•AGAIN...READ THE MANUAL! There is a lot of helpful information in this manual that will save time and prevent problems later.

•COVER THE VEHICLE WORK AREAS - Use fender covers or blankets to protect the work areas from scratches or dings.

•DISCONNECT THE (-) LEAD ON THE BATTERY - No sparks or fires please!

•“REVIEW” THE INSTALLATION - Before using any tools or moving vehicle components, take five minutes to review the installation intentions (e.g., verify that an amplifier will fit in an area of a car before tearing out all the interior).

•“REVIEW” THE VEHICLE - Before drilling any holes or cutting into any surfaces, make sure there are no fuel or hydraulic lines behind the surfaces. Also make sure there are no wires routed directly behind or near the desired mounting area (remember...screws can often extend 1-2 inches behind the mounting surface).

•ENSURE PROPER FIT - Before cutting or drilling, make sure the amplifier will physically fit in its desired location. Check for clearance around rear deck torsion bars or other structural elements.

•EVERY CAR IS ASSEMBLED DIFFERENT - Every auto manufacturer uses different assembly techniques. Take care in removing/modifying all trim panels and mounting

surfaces since they often use unique screws or snap fasteners that are difficult to replace if they are lost or broken.

•BE CAREFUL WITH CABLE ROUTING - When routing audio cables, make sure RCA and speaker wires are routed away from high current power lines for audio amplifiers and vehicle systems lines when possible. This will help prevent noises from creeping into the audio system, plus prevent potential damage to the vehicle wiring itself.

•BE CAREFUL WITH ALL CONNECTIONS - When making connections, make sure each connection is clean and properly secured. Observe all polarity markings carefully to ensure proper end performance.

•CAUTION - FUEL TANKS AND FUEL LINES ARE NOW LOCATED DIRECTLY BENEATH THE REAR DECK IN MANY CARS - CHECK FOR ADEQUATE CLEARANCE BEFORE EVEN CONSIDERING SUCH A MOUNTING LOCATION!
