CAUTION

Never replace the fuse with one of greater value or rating than the original fuse. Use of an improper fuse could result in over- heating and smoke and could cause dam- age to the product and injury including burns.

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 recommended battery wire and

ground wire, which is sold separately. Connect the

battery wire directly to the car battery positive ter-

minal (+) 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

subwoofer if a fuse for the separately sold battery

wire blows. Detect the cause and solve the prob-

lem, then replace the fuse with another one of the

same size and rating.

• To prevent malfunction of the amplifier and sub-

woofer, 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 subwoofer.

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
