Before installing the amplifier
WARNING
! Do not use unauthorized parts as this may
cause malfunctions.
! Do not install this unit where :
— it may interfere with operation of the vehi-
cle.
— it may cause injury to a passenger as a re-
sult of a sudden stop.
! Install tapping screws in such a way that the
screw tip does not touch any wire. This is im-
portant to prevent wires from being cut by vi-
bration of the car, which can result in fire.
! Place all cables away from moving parts, such
as the gear shift and seat rails.
! When drilling to install the amplifier, always
confirm no parts are behind the panel and
protect all cables and important equipment
(e.g. fuel/brake lines, wiring) from damage.
CAUTION
! To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli-
fier, ensure the following during installation:
— Allow adequate space above the amplifier
for proper ventilation.
— Do not cover the amplifier with a floor mat
or carpet.
! Place all cables away from hot places, such
as near the heater outlet.
! The optimal installation location differs de-
pending on the car model. Secure the ampli-
fier at a sufficiently rigid location.
! Check all connections and systems before
final installation.
! After installing the amplifier, confirm that the
spare tire, jack and tools can be easily re-
moved.
