(illustration - show all amplifier parts, wires, and hardware)
BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE INSTAL LATION
Before you install your amplifier, rea d all the instructions in this owner’s manual. And, you should be able to answer all of these questions about your vehicle’s elec­trical and autosound systems.
• Does my vehicle have an autosound system, such as a car stereo or CD player, already installed? (You must have a n existing aut osound system to use this amplifier.)
• How do I connect a wire to the fuse box?
• Which of the autosound system’s wires is the power wire?
• Which of the autosound system’s terminals are low-level outputs and which are high-level (speaker) outputs?
Also, be aware that installation in your v ehicle might require cutting or modifying your vehicle.

Choosing a Mounting Location
A good location for mounting the am­plifier is in your vehicle’s trunk. Wh er­ever you decide t o moun t it, choos e a location that:
• Does not interfere with the vehi­cle’s operation
• Lets you drill mounting hole s with­out damaging other vehicle com­ponents
• Allows enough space around the cooling fins for proper airflow and cooling
• Lets you easily see the ampl ifier’s POWER and PROTECTION indi­cators
Warnin
while it is on. Do not touch the amplifier or place flammable objects near it while it is on.
The amplifier gets very hot
:
Preparing the Mounting Area
Before you mount the a mplifier, make sure you have all the materials you need, such as an adapter harness, additional wire, shielded audio cables, and 16- or 18-gauge marked or color­coded wires.
Then con firm that the amplifier fits in your vehicle’s available mounting ar­ea. This amplifier requires a 2 high by 10 -inch wi de by 12 (5.2 ¥ 25.4 ¥ 30.8 cm) mounting area with adequate ventilation space.

Routing Cables and W ires
Avoid routing the connection cables and any speaker wires near moving parts or sharp edges. You can usually route wires and cables along the wiring channel b eneath the vehic le’ s door fac­ings by carefully removing the molding that holds the carpet in place. After routing the cables and wires, replace the molding.
INSTALLATION ORDER
For trouble-free installation, simply fol­low the sections in this Owner’s Manu­al in order. First, temporarily connect the amplifier to:
Ground and power Your autosound system’s outputs Your speakers
Then test the connections. When you verify that everything works as expect­ed, disconnect the amplifier , mount it in your vehicle, and reconnect it.
Caution:
nections in the order shown, d amage to the amplifier and your autosound system is possible if any wire connec­tions are made incorrectly.

BEFORE YOU MAKE THE CONNECTIONS
The supplied connection cables in­clude all the lead wires you need to connect the amp l ifier to ground, power, and your existing autosound system.
Important:
• Do not cut these wires. If you cut any wire, you cannot obtain a refund or exchange on t his prod­uct. However, RadioShack provide warranty service if you cut a wire and find the product is defective.
• If the connectors on your vehicle’s autosound system are not com­patible with the amplifier’s con­nectors, you might need an adapter harness to complete the connections. RadioShack stores sell adapter harnesses for most vehicles.
will
Cautions:
• For added safety and to protect your amplifier and autosound sys­tem, disconnect the cable from your vehicle’s negative (–) battery terminal before you begin.
• Be sure your front speakers can handle as much as 20 watts per channel and your rear speakers as much as 55 wat ts per channel of power. Each speaker must have an impedance of at least 4 ohms. Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of speak­ers.
You might need additional wire, de­pending on your individual autosound system, to complete the connections. Your local RadioShack sto re carries a full line of wire a nd wire managem ent accessories.

CONNECTING GROUND AND
SWITCHED/PRIMARY POWER
Follow these steps to connect the am­plifier to ground, switched power, and primary power.
1. If you have not done so already, disconnect the cable from your vehicle’s negative (–) battery ter­minal.
2. Use a screwdriver to connect the spade end of the supplied black ground wire to the am pl ifier ’s (ground) terminal.
3. Connect the black ground wire’s other end to a chassis ground, such as a metal bolt attached to a metal part of the vehicle’s frame. Be sure the bolt is not insulated from the chassis by a plastic part.
4. Use a screwdriver to connect the spade end of the supplied blue/ white wire to the amplifier’s (remote power) terminal.

5. Connect the blue/white wire’s other end to your autosound sys­tem’s switched power lead using one of the supplied twist-on termi­nal connectors.
(illus)
This connection turns on the amplifier when you turn on the autosound system, and turns off the amplifier when you turn off the autosound system. This prevents your vehicle’s battery from being drained if you leave your am plifier on when you turn off your auto­sound system.
If your autosound system does not have a switched power lead, connect the blue/white wire’s other end to a point in your vehi­cle’s fuse block that has power only when you turn on the ignition or turn the key to ACC.
This connection turns on the amplifier when you turn on the ignition or turn the key to ACC, and turns off the amplifier when you turn off the ignition. This p re­vents your vehicle’s battery from being drained if you leave your amplifier on when you turn off the ignition.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your Optimus XL-150 High Power 4-Channel Stereo Amplifier is an example of su­perior design and craftsmanship. The follow ing suggestions will help you care for your amplifier so you can enjoy it for years.
Keep the amplifier dry. If it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
Keep the amplifier away from dust and dirt, which can cause prema­ture wear of parts.
Handle the amplifier gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage cir­cuit boards and cases and can cause the amplifier to work improper­ly.
Wipe the amplifier with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong deter­gents to clean the amplifier.
Modifying or tampe ring with the amplifier’s internal components c an cause a mal­function and might invalidate your amplifier’s warranty and void your FCC authoriza­tion to operate it. If your amplifier is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
THE FCC WANTS YOU TO KNOW
Your amplifier might cause TV or radio interference even when it is operating prop­erly. To determine whether your amplifier is causing the interference, turn off your amplifier. If the interference goes away, your amplifier is causing it. Try to eliminate the interference by:
• Moving your amplifier away from the receiver
• Contacting your local RadioShack store for help
