OPERATION

PRECAUTIONS

GND(-)=GROUND CONNECTION

Connect the GND te rminal to the cha ssis grou nd of your c ar and take care o f best electric and mechanic co ntact. In doing s o, drill a hole in to the car c hassis near the amplifier then re move colo r, d irt or any other subs tance fro m the gr oun d poin t. After that fasten th e cabl e en d with a dded ring termin al b y usin g a screw. Ensure that the ground co nnection is as short as pos sible a nd t hat th e cable dia meter is sufficient ( min 4 mm" ) . Route the ground cab les fr om t he radio and al l oth er equipment parts. like eq ualizer. active cross ove r netw ork or ot her am pli fiers , to the same ground po int.

+12V=POWER SUPPLY

Connect the +12V te rminal to the positive p ole of t he batter y with a lea d cabl e and add a fu se in t o the power cable i n a d istan ce of not mo re then 30 c m from t he battery. The lea d cables' s diame ter shoul d be at leas t 4 mm' for a length of 3 m and 6 mm" fo r a len gth of 6m.

REM(ON/OFF)REMOTE CONTROL

Connect the REM te rminal to the aut omatic an tenna con nector of y our ca r rad io. Now when turning on and off your car radio . the ampl ifier a uto matic all y swit che s ON and OFF. A cab le dia met er of 0. 5mm is suf ficient.

FUSE

The amplifier is eq uipped wi th a plu g-i n auto fus e prote cti ng the set agains t fa ult conditions. Do not us e a fuse wit h a hig her value a nd n ever bridg e the f use over , as this may le ad to i rre parab ili ty damage s o that ant any c laim for wa rra nty is denied.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

No Function:

The connection cable is not conne cted correctly ( = terminal BATT/GND /REM). Ensure that all con nections and mecha nic contac t and that the jac ket has bee n removed. The fuse is defecti ve-pay at tention to the corre ct valu e of a new fu se!

No Sound:

Speaker cable or sp eaker plu g are not connect ed correc tly.

No Sound /Red LE D Prot ect ion Sh ine s:

The plus and mi nus wires of the spea ker cable have co nta ct, th us el imina te t he short circuit. If yo u use a 2 Ohm spe aker in ste reo mode, a 4 Ohm speak er in bridge mode or tr i-mode an d the se is overloaded, then tu rn the gai n contr ol t o "min " until th e oper ati on is free of trou ble.

Poor Sound Quality ( D istor tio ns ):

The speakers are ov erloaded , therefo re turn dow n th e volu me level and ch eck the volume control po sitions.

No Stereo Sound An d A Weak Ba ss:

Speaker cables (+) an d (-) are mixed up , un it w ire d out of phase.

This unit is desi gned for n egative g rou nd 12V DC o per ation onl y. Use speakers with an im pedance o f 2 o r 4 O hms ( 2 to 4 Ohm wh en used as brid gin g ampl ifi er ) Avoid installing the u nit where :

-It would be subj ect to hig h temperatur es, such a s from direct sunlight or h ot air from the heater.

-It would be expo sed to rai n or moisture .

-It would be subj ect to dus t or dirt. If your car is pa rked in direc t sunligh t and there is a consi derab le r ise in temperature inside the car, allow the uni t to cool off before op eration. When installing the unit horizont ally, be sure not to cov er t he hea tsi nk fin s with the floor carpet. If this unit is pl aced too clos e to the car ra dio, an inter fer ence m ay o ccur. In this case, separate the ampl ifier fro m the car radi o. This power amplifier empl oys a prot ection circu it to prot ect the trans istors an d speakers if the ampl ifier m lfunctions. Do not attem pt to test the protecti on circuits by covering the h eatsink o r connecting improper loads. Do not use the u nit with a wea k auto b atter y as its optim um p erfor man ce depends on a norm al batter y supply volt age. For safety reasons, keep the volum e of your car audi o system m oderate so th at you can still hear normal tr affic sounds outside yo ur car .

FUSE REPLACEMENT

If the fuse blow s, check t he p ower c onn ectio n an d re place the f us e. If t he f use blows again after repl acement, there may be a n inte rna l ma lfunc tio n. In t his case, consult your dealer.

WARNING:

Use the specified ampe rage fuse . Use of a high er a mpera ge f use may cause serious damage.

PROTECTION CIRCUIT:

This amplifier is prov ided with a pr otection circuit w hich oper ate s in th e follo wing cases when: the unit is o verhe ate d. the spea ker termi nals are s hor t circ uit ed.
