SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
THE PURCHASED DEVICE IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR AN OPER-ATION
WITH A 12V ON-BOARD ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE. Other-
wise fire hazard, risk of injury and electric shock consists.
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY OPERATION OF THE SOUNDSYSTEM,
WHICH DISTRACT YOU FROM A SAFE DRIVING. Do not make any pro-
cedures, which demand a longer attention. Perform these operations not
until you have stopped the vehicle on a safe place. Otherwise the risk of
accident consists.
ADJUST THE SOUND VOLUME TO AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL, THAT
YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO HEAR EXTERIOR NOISES WHILE DRIVING.
High performance sound systems in vehicles may generate the acoustic
pressure of a live concert. The permanent listening to extrem loud music
may cause the loss of your hearing abilities. The hearing of extreme loud
music while driving may derogate your cognition of warning signals in the
traffic. In the interests of the common safeness, we suggest to drive with a
lower sound volume. Otherwise the risk of accident consists.
DO NOT COVER COOLING VENTS AND HEATSINKS. Otherwise this
may cause heat accumulation in the device and fire hazard consists.
DO NOT OPEN THE DEVICE. Otherwise fire hazard, risk of injury and
electric shock consists. Also this may cause a loss of the warranty.
REPLACE FUSES ONLY WITH FUSE WITH THE SAME RATING.
Other-
wise fire hazard and risk of electric shock consists.
DO NOT USE THE DEVICE ANY LONGER, IF A MALFUNCTION, WHICH
REMAINS UNREMEDIED. Refer in this case to the chapter TROUBLE
SHOOTING. Otherwise risk of injury and the damage of the device con-
sists. Commit the device to an authorized retailer.
THE INSTALLATION OF A POWER CAPACITOR WITH SUFFICIENT CA-
PACITY IS RECOMMENDED. High performance amplifiers cause high po-
tential voltage drops and need a high power consumption at a high volume
level. To relieve the vehicle’s on-board system, it is recommended to install
a power capacitor between the battery and the device which works as buf-
fer. Consult your car audio retailer for the appropriate capacity.
INTERCONNECTION AND INSTALLATION SHOULD BE ACCOMPLIS-
HED BY SKILLED STAFF ONLY. The interconnection and installation of
this device demands technical aptitude and experience. For your own saf-
ness, commit the interconnexion and installation to your car audio retailer,
where you have purchased the device.
DISCONNECT THE GROUND CONNECTION FROM THE VEHICLE’S
BATTERY BEFORE INSTALLATION. Before you start with the installation
of the sound system, disconnect by any means the ground supply wire from
the battery, to avoid any risk of electric shock and short circuits.
CHOOSE AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF
THE DEVICE. Look for an appropriate location for the device, which ensu-
res a sufficient air circulation. The best places are spare wheel cavities, and
open spaces in the trunk area. Less suitable are storage spaces behind the
side coverings or under the car seats.
DO NOT INSTALL THE DEVICE AT LOCATIONS, WHERE IT WILL BE
EXPOSED TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND DUST. Install the device at a loca-
tion, where it will be protected from high humidity and dust. If humidity and
dust attain inside the device, malfunctions may be caused.
MOUNT THE DEVICE AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE SOUND
SYSTEM SUFFICIENTLY. Otherwise the device and components may get
loose and act as dangerous objects, which could cause serious harm and
damages in the passenger room.
ENSURE NOT TO DAMAGE COMPONENTS, WIRES AND CABLES OF
THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU DRILL THE MOUNTING HOLES. If you drill
the mounting holes for the installation into the vehicle’s chasis, ensure by
any means, not to damage, block or tangent the fuel pipe, the gas tank,
other wires or electrical cables.
ENSURE CORRECT CONNECTION OF ALL TERMINALS. Faulty con-
nections may could cause fire hazard and lead to damages of the device.
DO NOT INSTALL AUDIO CABLES AND POWER SUPPLY WIRES TO-
GETHER. Ensure while installation not to lead the audio cables between
the headunit and the amplifier together with the power supply wires on the
same side of the vehicle. The best is a areal separated installation in the left
and right cable channel of the vehicle. Therewith a overlap of interferences
on the audio signal will be avoided. This stands also for the equipped bass-
remote wire, which should be installed not together with the power supply
wires, but rather with the audio signal cables.
ENSURE THAT CABLES MAY NOT CAUGHT UP IN CLOSE-BY OB-
JECTS. Install all the wires and cables like described on the following pa-
ges, therewith these may not hinder the driver. Cables and wires which are
installed close-by the steering wheel, gear lever or the brake pedal, may
caught up and cause highly dangerous situations.
DO NOT SPLICE ELECTRICAL WIRES. The electrical wires should not be
bared, to provide power supply to other devices.Otherwise the load capa-
city of the wire may get overloaded. Use therefor a appropriate distribution
block. Otherwise fire hazard and risk of electric shock consists.
DO NOT USE BOLTS AND SCREW NUTS OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM
AS GROUND POINT. Never use for the installation or the ground point
bolts and screw-nuts of the brake system, steering system or other security-
relevant components. Otherwise fire hazard consists or the driving safety
will be derogated.
ENSURE NOT TO BEND OR SQUEEZE CABLES AND WIRES BY
SHARP OBJECTS. Do not install cables and wires not close-by movable
objects like the seat rail or may be bended or harmed by sharp and barbed
edges. If you lead a wire or cable through the hole in a metal sheet, protect
the insulation with a rubber grommet.
KEEP AWAY SMALL PARTS AND JACKS FROM CHILDREN. If objects
like these will be swallowed, the risk of serious injuries consists. Consult
promtly a medical doctor, if a child swallowed a small object.
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING ADVICES BEFORE THE FIRST OPERATION!
