WARNING

!Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhe- sive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap sections in contact with metal parts in adhesive tape.

!Never cut the insulation of the power supply to feed power to other equipment. Current ca- pacity of the wire is limited.

CAUTION

!Never shorten any wires, the protection circuit may malfunction.

!Never ground speaker wire directly or band to- gether multiple speakers’ negative (*) lead wires.

!If the system remote control wire of the ampli- fier is connected to the power terminal via the ignition switch (12 V DC), the amplifier will re- main on with the ignition whether the car stereo is on or off, which may exhaust battery if the engine is at rest or idling.
