The Safety of Your Ears is in
Your Hands
Get the most out of your equipment by playing
it at a safe level—a level that lets the sound
come through clearly without annoying blar-
ing or distortion and, most importantly, with-
out affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound
can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing
"comfort level" adapts to higher volumes of
sound, so what sounds "normal" can actually
be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this by setting your equipment at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
! Set your volume control at a low setting.
! Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly, without dis-
tortion.
! Once you have established a comfortable
sound level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
! Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can't hear what's around you.
! Use caution or temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations.
! Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle; the use of headphones
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many areas.

WARNING
! Handling the cord on this product or cords as-
sociated with accessories sold with the pro-
duct may expose you to chemicals listed on
proposition 65 known to the State of California
and other governmental entities to cause can-
cer and birth defect or other reproductive
harm. Wash hands after handling.
! This unit is for vehicles with a 12 V battery and
negative grounding. Before installing in re-
creational vehicles, trucks or buses, check the
battery voltage.
! When the fuse of the car which supplies the
power to this unit is less than 15 A, supply the
power directly to this unit from a battery.
In addition, do not connect the speaker to the
car stereo for speaker output while using this
unit.
If the speaker is connected to the car stereo,
since the current consumption of the whole
system becomes large, the power must be
supplied from a car battery directly.
! When installing this unit, make sure to con-
nect the ground wire first. Ensure that the
ground wire is properly connected to metal
parts of the car's body. The ground wire of the
one of this unit must be connected to the car
separately with different screws. If the screw
for the ground wire loosens or falls out, it
could result in fire, generation of smoke or
malfunction.
! Always use a fuse of the rating prescribed.
The use of an improper fuse could result in
overheating and smoke, damage to the pro-
duct and injury, including burns.
! Check the connections of the power supply
and speakers if the amplifier fuse blows. De-
termine and resolve the cause, then replace
the fuse with and identical equivalent.
! 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.
