LIMITED WARRANTY STATEMENT
Diamond Audio Technology, Inc. (DAT) warrants all DAT products to be free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of original purchase provided they are purchased from an authorized DAT retailer in the United States. However, the effective warranty period will be three (3) years if the products were purchased from and installed by an authorized DAT retailer.
What is covered: Parts and labor to effect repair or, at the sole discretion of DAT, replacement of either any malfunctioning or defective part(s) or the entire system should the system or any component part(s) thereof fail to perform as designed. Includes return freight via ground transportation to destinations within the United States.
What is NOT covered: Installation or setup and repair or replacement of the system or any parts thereof which, in DAT’s judgment, fail or become damaged as a result of negligence, improper use, abuse, unauthorized modification or service, improper or inadequate packaging during shipment, installation by a non-authorized dealer, accident, or use for any purpose other than those for which this product was originally intended, or where the model’s serial number has been removed, altered or defaced.
Who is covered: Original purchaser so long as they reside in the United States and can provide proof of the original date of purchase (e.g., store receipt) from an authorized DAT retailer.
OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES: Customers outside the United States should contact their local sales office to obtain information on prices, exchange unit availability, instructions, service and warranty/nonwarranty repairs.
Repair or replacement under this warranty is the exclusive remedy of the consumer. DAT shall not be liable for any incidental or consequential damages for breach of any expressed or implied warranty on this product. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose on this product is limited in duration to the duration of this warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that may vary from state to state.
HOW TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE
In the event a DAT product should require servicing, you should (a) visit an authorized DAT retailer or (b) call the DAT Service Dept. at (866) 328 2834. To be eligible for warranty service within a three (3) year period, the accompanying receipt of original purchase from an authorized DAT retailer must specifically note that dealer installation was provided.
Product returned for repair/service must be properly packaged and clearly marked with the Return Authorization (RA) number issued by DAT. If the RA number is not clearly marked on the package or no RA number was issued by DAT, the product may be refused upon delivery. DAT does not assume responsibility for lost or misdirected product.

FUSE RECOMMENDATIONS
D5 Professional Reference Series Amplifiers come with circuit board mounted fusing. In addition to that we recommend that you install the correct size fuse/holder combination to the main power cable within 18 inches of the battery. This will protect your vehicle from fire damage due to a short circuit to the chassis or vehicle body. If a single amplifier is installed, follow the fuse recommendation below. If installing multiple amplifiers, add up the total fuse ratings of all installed amplifiers. This should be used as your main fuse rating.

A Word About Professional Installation…
We, the folks at Diamond Audio, highly advise the use of a factory authorized installation technician. System performance ultimately depends on proper installation. Your D5 Series amplifier is an awesome component that deserves to be professionally installed. If you still insist on installing the amplifier yourself, the following instructions should make it a little easier.
Before starting your installation, remove the negative battery cable before working on the positive terminal to prevent a short to ground. If a short does occur, current will continue to flow until the short is opened, the main fuse blows, or the wire melts (possibly taking out any nearby flammable object, wire loom, etc. causing a fire or other damage). Reconnect the negative terminal after all connections have been made.
MOUNTING YOUR AMPLIFIER
Warning — Amplifiers Generate Heat!
You can mount your amplifier in any position, even upside down. However, airflow must be maintained. Do not install your amplifier under carpets or behind airtight panels. Let the amplifier breathe. Without air circulation, your amplifier will shut down its power output to protect itself.
D5 Professional Reference Amplifiers do not utilize any fan driven cooling system. Care must be taken to provide a sufficient flow of air around the amplifier for the thermal management system to operate at peak efficiency. Air should be able the flow over the top and sides of the amp freely. Adding a fan to your system can be beneficial in keeping your amp cool. Be sure to allow at least 2 inches of space around the amplifier. Never mount your amplifier where it can get wet. Water damage is not covered by the warranty.
Mounting your amplifier inside an enclosure is not a good idea unless that enclosure is equipped with ventilation fans to circulate fresh air through the enclosure.
Your new D5 amplifier features adjustable mounting flanges. Should they need to be moved to a different location, remove the self-tapping screws on the bottom of each mounting flange. Move the flange to the desired location. Carefully tighten the self-tapping bottom screws. Be careful not to over tighten these screws or damage to the head of the screws or stripping of the threads will result.
