IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read and follow all the instructions listed in this manual. Follow all safety and procedural recommendations to prevent damage to your self, your KICKER product, or your portable media device.

The iK150 should not be used near water or in an environment where exposure to liquids is possible. This includes but is not exclusive to areas where splashing, dripping, leaks, spills, and exposure to rain can occur.

Liquid containers should not be placed on or near the iK150.

The iK150 should not be cleaned with liquid cleaners. Use only a dry cloth to clean the iK150.

Only use the iK150 in areas with adequate open ventilation allowing at least 4" of space on all sides of the iK150. Do not set the iK150 on any surface or cover the iK150 with any object that could impede the airflow to and from the iK150.

The iK150 should not be placed near any source of heat. This includes but is not limited to stoves, radiators, heating elements, electronic heat sources, and areas where excessive solar heat can be generated. Do not install the iK150 near any flame or place any flammable objects near the device.

The power outlet used to provide power to the iK150 should be accessible at all times. The polarized 2-prong electrical plug has a wide blade and narrow blade that should fit into the corresponding wide and narrow receiving connections of your electrical outlet. Do not force the plug into the outlet. If the plug provided with the unit does not fit, consult with an electrician to upgrade the electrical outlet accordingly.

The power cord should be situated in a way that protects it from being pinched, walked on, tripped over, or accidentally pulled from the electrical outlet or the electrical input on the iK150. Do not run the cable through doorways or underneath objects that could damage the wire or tear the insulating material surrounding the wire.

Only use the manufacturer supplied power supply with the iK150.

We recommend using a surge protector/power conditioner and unplugging the iK150 during any electrical storms or situations that could cause voltage fluctuations in the electrical system.
