Before installing the amplifier

WARNING
! To ensure proper installation, use the supplied
parts in the manner specified. If any parts
other than those supplied are used, they may
damage internal parts of the amplifier, or be-
come loose causing the amplifier to shut
down.
! Do not install in:
— Places where it could injure the driver or
passengers if the vehicle stops suddenly.
— Places where it may interfere with the dri-
ver, such as on the floor in front of the dri-
ver's seat.
! Install tapping screws in such a way that the
screw tip does not touch any wire. This is im-
portant to prevent wires from being cut by vi-
bration of the car, which can result in fire.
! Make sure that wires do not get caught in the
sliding mechanism of the seats or touch the
legs of a person in the vehicle as short-circuit
may result.
! When drilling to install the amplifier, always
confirm no parts are behind the panel and
protect all cables and important equipment
(e.g. fuel/brake lines, wiring) from damage.
CAUTION
! To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli-
fier, ensure the following during installation:
— Allow adequate space above the amplifier
for proper ventilation.
— Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat
or carpet.
! Always install the amplifier on a flat surface.
Do not install the amplifier on a surface that
is not flat or on a surface with a protrusion.
Doing so could result in malfunction.
! When installing the amplifier, do not allow
parts such as extra screws to get caught be-
tween the amplifier and the automobile.
Doing so could cause malfunction.
! Protection function may activate to protect the
amplifier against overheating due to installa-
tion in locations where sufficient heat cannot

En
be dissipated, continuous use under high-vo-
lume conditions, etc. In such cases, the am-
plifier shuts down until it has cooled to a
certain designated temperature.
! The optimal installation location differs de-
pending on the car model. Secure the ampli-
fier at a sufficiently rigid location.
! Firstly make temporary connections and
check to ensure the amplifier and system op-
erate properly.
! After installing the amplifier, confirm that the
spare tire, jack and tools can be easily re-
moved.
! Make sure to hold the middle part of the unit
when carrying. If the terminal cover is held to
lift the unit, the cover may come off and cause
the unit to fall, and result in injury.
