Safety Instructions - Hifonics BXi 6000D Owner's Manual

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE THE USE
THE PURCHASED DEVICE IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR THE
OPERATION WITH THE 12V ON-BOARD ELECTRICAL SY-
STEM OF A VEHICLE. Otherwise, the risk of injury, fire hazard
and electric shock consists
.
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY OPERATION OF THE SOUND-
SYSTEM, WHICH CAN DISTRACT YOU FROM A SAFE DRI-
VING. Please don't make any settings, which demand a longer
attention. Wait until you have stopped the vehicle on a safe place.
Otherwise, the risk of accident consists.
ADJUST THE SOUND VOLUME TO AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL,
THAT YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO HEAR EXTERIOR NOISES
WHILE DRIVING. High performance sound systems in vehicles
may generate the acoustic pressure of a live concert. The perma-
nent listening to extreme loud music may cause the loss of your
hearing abilities. The hearing of extreme loud music while driving
may derogate your cognition of warning signals in the traffic. In
the interests of the common safeness, we suggest to drive with
a lower sound volume. Otherwise the risk of accident consists.
DO NOT COVER COOLING VENTS AND HEATSINKS. Otherwise
this may cause heat accumulation in the device and fire hazard
consists.
DO NOT OPEN THE DEVICE. Otherwise fire hazard, risk of injury
and electric shock consists. This also can cause a loss of the
warranty.
REPLACE FUSES ONLY WITH A FUSE WITH THE SAME
RATING. Otherwise fire hazard and risk of electric shock consists.
DO NOT USE THE DEVICE ANY LONGER, IF A MALFUNCTION,
WHICH REMAINS UNREMEDIED. Attend in this case the chapter
TROUBLE SHOOTING. Otherwise there is a risk of injuries or
the damage of the device. Commit the device to an authorized
retailer.
THE INSTALLATION OF A POWER CAPACITOR WITH SUF-
FICIENT CAPACITY IS RECOMMENDED. High performance
amplifiers cause high potential voltage drops and need higher
power consumption at loud volume levels. To relieve the vehicle's
on-board system, it is recommended to install a power capacitor
between the battery and the device, which works as buffer. Consult
your car audio retailer for the appropriate capacity.
INTERCONNECTION AND INSTALLATION SHOULD BE AC-
COMPLISHED BY SKILLED STAFF ONLY. The interconnection
and installation of this device demands technical aptitude and
experience. For your own safeness, commit the interconnection
and installation to your car audio retailer, where you have purchased
the device.
DISCONNECT THE GROUND CONNECTION FROM THE
VEHICLE'S BATTERY BEFORE INSTALLATION. Before you
start with the installation of the sound system, disconnect by any
means the ground supply wire from the battery, to avoid any risk
of electric shock and short circuits.
CHOOSE AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR THE INSTAL-
LATION OF THE DEVICE. Look for a appropriate location for the
device, which ensures a sufficient air circulation. The best places
are spare wheel cavities, and open spaces in the trunk area. Less
suitable are storage spaces behind the side coverings or under
the car seats.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

DO NOT INSTALL THE DEVICE AT LOCATIONS, WHERE IT
WILL BE EXPOSED TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND DUST. Install
the device at a location, where it will be protected from high
humidity and dust. If humidity and dust attain inside the device,
malfunctions may be caused.
MOUNT THE DEVICE AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE
SOUND SYSTEM SUFFICIENTLY. Otherwise the device and
components may get loose and act as dangerous objects, which
could cause serious harm and damages in the passenger room.
ATTEND NOT TO DAMAGE COMPONENTS, WIRES AND
CABLES OF THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU DRILL THE MOUNTING
HOLES. If you drill the mounting holes for the installation into the
vehicle's chassis, ensure by any means, not to damage, block or
tangent the fuel pipe, the gas tank, other wires or electrical cables.
ENSURE CORRECT CONNECTION OF ALL TERMINALS. Faulty
connections may could cause fire hazard and lead to damages
of the device.
DO NOT INSTALL AUDIO CABLES AND POWER SUPPLY
WIRES TOGETHER. Attend while installation not to lead the audio
cables between the headunit and the amplifier together with the
power supply wires on the same side of the vehicle. The best is
a areal separated installation in the left and right cable channel
of the vehicle. Therewith a overlap of interferences on the audio
signal will be avoided. This stands also for the equipped bass-
remote wire, which should be installed not together with the power
supply wires, but rather with the audio signal cables.
ENSURE THAT CABLES MAY NOT CAUGHT UP IN CLOSE-
BY OBJECTS. Install all the wires and cables like described on
the following pages, therewith these may not hinder the driver.
Cables and wires which are installed close-by the steering wheel,
gear lever or the brake pedal, may caught up and cause highly
dangerous situations.
DO NOT SPLICE ELECTRICAL WIRES. The electrical wires
should not be bared, to provide power supply to other devices.
Otherwise the load capacity of the wire may get overloaded.
Please use an appropriate distribution block. Otherwise fire hazard
and risk of electric shock consists.
DO NOT USE BOLTS AND SCREW NUTS OF THE BRAKE
SYSTEM AS GROUND POINT. Never use for the installation or
the ground point bolts and screw-nuts of the brake system, steering
system or other security-relevant components. Otherwise fire
hazard consists or the driving safety will be derogated.
ENSURE NOT TO BEND OR SQUEEZE CABLES AND WIRES
BY SHARP OBJECTS. Do not install cables and wires not close-
by movable objects like the seat rail or may be bended or harmed
by sharp and barbed edges. If you lead a wire or cable through
the hole in a metal sheet, protect the insulation with a rubber
grommet.
KEEP AWAY SMALL PARTS AND JACKS FROM CHILDREN.
If objects like these will be swallowed, a risk of serious injuries
consists. Consult promtply a medical doctor, if a child swallowed
a small object.
