ˆOperation

TURNING ON THE

AMPLIFIER

The amplifier automatically turns on a few seconds after you turn your vehicle’s ignition switch to ACC or ON or turn on your auto sound system, depending on how you wired the system. The POWER indicator on the side of the amplifier lights when the amplifier is on.

Important: Your amplifier requires 31 amps or more of power from your vehicle’s battery during operation. To protect your battery from discharging, do not operate the amplifi- er unless your vehicle is running.

Note: Your amplifier temporarily shuts down if it gets too hot, then restarts automatically once it cools.

ADJUSTING THE AUDIO LEVEL

For the best performance, you must set LEVEL (MIN/MAX) on the left and right sides of the amplifier to adjust the level of the audio signals that enter the amplifier.

1.Use a screwdriver to turn LEVEL (MIN/ MAX) on the left and right sides of the amplifier fully counterclockwise to MIN.

2.Turn the auto sound system’s volume control to about one-third of its full range.

3.On the left and right sides of the ampli- fier, adjust LEVEL (MIN/MAX) to a com- fortable listening level.

4.Turn up the auto sound system’s volume control until the sound begins to distort. Then immediately turn the volume down to a point just before where the distor- tion began.

Caution: Never turn up the auto sound system’s volume control more than needed to adjust the audio level, or more than two-thirds of its maximum vol- ume.

5.On the left and right sides of the ampli- fier, adjust LEVEL (MIN/MAX) until the sound is at the maximum level you want the amplifier to produce.

6.Adjust the auto sound system’s volume control to a comfortable listening level.
