Clean the surface of your selected mounting location with a dry cloth before applying the double-sided tape . Connection

• Before making any connections, disconnect the ground (earth) terminal of the car battery to avoid short circuits. Connect this amplifier to the +12 V power supply lead only after all other leads have been connected.

• This amplifier is designed for negative ground (ear th) 12 V DC operation only.

• Do not operate the amplifier on a weak battery as the a mplifier requires a good power supply for optimum performance.

• If your car is equipped with a computer system for

rposes such as navigation, disconnecting the ground (earth) terminal of the car battery may damage the computer memory. Leave the ground (earth) lead connected and connect this amplifier to the +12 V power supply lead only after all other leads have been connected to prevent short circuits.

• When connecting and installing the input and out

ut cables, keep them away from the +12 V power supply lead. Running them close together may generate interference noise. Notes on making connections

• To connect to the terminals on the connector panel and to adjust various settings, remove the top cover to access the control panel (top panel).

• When you tighten the screw, be careful not to

ply too much torque as doing so may damage the terminals or cables.
