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.

POWER

Indicator

Important: Your amplifier requires 5 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 amplifier to adjust the level of the audio signals that enter the amplifier.

1.Use a screwdriver to turn LEVEL (MIN/ MAX) fully counterclockwise to MIN.

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

3.Adjust LEVEL (MIN/MAX) to a comfort- able 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.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.
