Care and maintenance

Cleaning the cabinet
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe dust and dirt from the unit.
Do not use benzene, thinner, car cleaner, or other cleaners. These substances may
damage the unit or cause the paint to peel.
Servicing the unit
In the event that trouble arises, never open the case or disassemble the unit. The
internal parts are not serviceable by the user. Opening any components will void the
warranty.
Changes or modifications to this product not approved by the
manufacturer will void the warranty and will violate FCC approval.

5. INSTALLATION AND WIRING

Read these instructions and the following precautions carefully.

What is included in the box

In addition to this manual, the box contains:
• Amplifier
• High-level speaker input harness

Mounting precautions

If you lack the necessary skills, do not install the amplifier yourself.
See your authorized Clarion dealer for installation recommendations.
• This unit is exclusively for vehicles with a negative ground, 12V power supply.
• This unit requires additional mobile audio components for proper operation.
• Choose a location in the vehicle that provides adequate ventilation around the
amplifier. Although any moving air dissipates heat, cool air should run along the
length of the fins rather than across them.
Although Clarion amplifiers include heat sinks and protection
circuits, mounting an amplifier in a tight space without any air
m ovement will damage the unit's internal circuitry over time.
