The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral
triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user of the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read these instructions - All the safety and operation instructions should be read
before this OWI product is operated.
2. Keep these instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be kept for
future reference.
3. Heed all warnings - All warnings on this product and in these operating
instructions should be followed.
4. Follow all instructions - All operating and other instructions should be followed.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, swamp or
salivating St. Bernard dog, etc.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. - This OWI product should be situated so that its
location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the
Component should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may
block any ventilation openings, or placed in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air through ventilation openings.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or
other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wider blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit the apparatus.
11. Only use attachment/accessories specified by the
manufactures.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped. The user should not attempt to service this OWI product
beyond those means described in this operating manual. All other servicing
should be referred to the OWI Service Department.
15. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain
or moisture.
16. To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord,
receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade
exposure.
17. Exposure to extremely high noise levels may cause permanent hearing loss.
Individuals vary considerably in susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss, but
nearly everyone will lose some hearing if exposed to sufficiently intense noise
for a period of time. The U.S. Government's Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) has specified the permissible noise level exposures
shown in the following chart.
According to OSHA, any exposure in excess of these permissible limits could
result in some hearing loss. To ensure against potentially dangerous exposure to
high sound pressure levels, it is recommended that all persons exposed to
equipment capable of producing high sound pressure levels use hearing
protectors while the equipment is in operation. Ear plugs or protectors in the ear
canals or over the ears must be worn when operating the equipment in order to
prevent a permanent hearing loss if exposure is in excess of the limits set forth
here.
18. OWI recommends that this apparatus is to be placed on a switched power outlet,
one that switches both sides of the line and has contact separation of at least
3mm.

Installation Instructions
Model AMP-3IC6
AMP-3IC6 carton includes the following items:
1. One (1) each Amp-3IC6
2. One (1) each UL Listed Power Supply
Introduction:
The AMP-3IC6 is designed to provide a 6.5 inch speaker that is self
powered allowing line input audio that is either balanced or
unbalanced to provide the input signal. The power amplifier
provides up to 25 watts of power. It has enough power to allow up
to four total speakers to be powered by one powered speaker. The
additional three can be non-powered. This would then allow each
speaker to have approximately 5 watts of power. Five watts would
be enough power for background music, voice paging or many voice
applications.

Trouble Shooting Guide
1. No output: Disconnect any secondary speakers and check for operation of the
primary speaker only. If still there is no output, check for loose screws on the
green input connector. It is easy to think the wires are secure in the connector and
one wire is not. Tug on each wire to make sure each is tight.
2. Intermittent output: Check for shorted output causing the amplifier to into and
output protection. Check each input wire for loose screws.
3. Distortion: Do not power more than one AMP-3IC6 on one power supply. While it
will work, it will cause distortion.
4. No output, check to see that the power on light is on. It is located on the main
PCB. If it is off, the power supply is either bad or has come loose in the power
socket.
5. Hum, for single ended inputs, there is a need for a jumper between – and the
ground screw. Most of the time, the jumper is needed.
