Protect Your Hearing!

Now that you’ve got Polk Audio equipment in your car you’re a valued member of the Polk Audio family. We want you, and your hearing, to be around for a long, long time. We urge you to practice restraint in the operation of this product so as not to damage your hearing (and that of other

people in your car, or in your neighborhood). Studies have shown that continuous exposure to high sound pressure lev- els can lead to permanent irreparable hearing loss. And then you’d be

no good to us. This and all other high-power amplifiers are capable of easily producing sound pressure levels that can be dangerous.

Please use common sense in the operation of this product. Limit your exposure to continuous high volume levels, and consider operating your audio system while driving in a man- ner that still allows you to hear necessary outside noises like sirens and horns.

Technical Assistance or Service

If, after following the hookup directions, you experience diffi- culty, please double-check all wire connections. Should you isolate the problem to the amplifier, contact the authorized Polk Audio dealer where you made your purchase, or contact Polk Audio Customer Service 800-377-7655

(M-F, 9-6 EST, US only) or via email polkcs@polkaudio.com. Outside the US, call 410-358-3600.

More detailed information—including audio how-to articles, FAQs, and online manuals—is available on our award-win- ning website www.polkaudio.com.

There are no user serviceable parts or fuses inside the ampli- fier. The unique nature of the circuitry in the Polk Audio Carbon Series Amplifiers requires specially trained service personnel. Do not attempt to service this amplifier yourself or through unauthorized repair facilities. This will not only void the warranty, but may result in the creation of more problems within your amplifier.

Protégez vos oreilles!

Maintenant que vous avez installé de nouveaux composants Polk Audio dans votre véhicule, nous espérons que vous ferez partie de la famille Polk Audio pour bien longtemps. Nous vous conseillons donc d’utiliser votre nouvel équipement avec sagesse et intelligence. Cet amplificateur (et tout autre amplificateur de haute puissance) peut générer des niveaux de pression sonore dangereux. Des études ont démontré qu’une exposition prolongée à des niveaux de pression sonore excessifs peut mener à une surdité irréversible. Vous n’avez que deux oreilles, protégez-les! Limitez donc votre durée d’exposition à des volumes sonores très élevés. Nous espérons que ce conseil ne tombe pas dans l’oreille d’un sourd.

Conduisez de façon responsable et sécuritaire ; lorsque vous êtes sur la route, réglez le volume de votre chaîne de façon à pouvoir entendre les bruits extérieurs comme les sirènes, les klaxons et les avertisseurs. Il en va de votre sécurité et de celle des autres !
