WARNING

• Handling the cord on this product or cords associ-

ated with accessories sold with the product will

expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State

of California and other governmental entities to

cause cancer and birth defects or other reproduc-

tive harm. Wash hands after handling.

• Always use the special red battery and ground

wire [RD-223], which is sold separately. Connect

the battery wire directly to the car battery positive

terminal (+) and the ground wire to the car body.

• Do not touch the amplifier with wet hands.

Otherwise you may get an electric shock. Also, do

not touch the amplifier when it is wet.

• For traffic safety and to maintain safe driving

conditions, keep the volume low enough so that

you can still hear normal traffic sound.

• Check the connections of the power supply and

speakers if the fuse of the separately sold battery

wire or the amplifier fuse blows. Detect the cause

and solve the problem, then replace the fuse with

another one of the same size and rating.

• To prevent malfunction of the amplifier and

speakers, the protective circuit will cut the power

supply to the amplifier (sound will stop) when an

abnormal condition occurs. In such a case, switch

the power to the system OFF and check the

connection of the power supply and speakers.

Detect the cause and solve the problem.

• Contact the dealer if you cannot detect the cause.

• To prevent an electric shock or short-circuit

during connection and installation, be sure to

disconnect the negative (–) terminal of the battery

beforehand.

• Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when
