PRECAUTIONS AND MAINTENANCE

This unit is designed for negative ground 12V DC operation only. The equipment can
be used safely, if the negative terminal of the battery is connected to the vehicle metal
work.

Do not use speakers of impedance less than 4 ohms; and do not allow the speaker 
wires to be sorted together when the unit is switched on.
Otherwise it may overload or burn out the power amplifier stage.

If the car interior is extremely hot, as after being parked in the sun, do not use the 
player until the car has been driven for a while to cool off the interior.

Caution Vauxhall owners:

Vauxhall do not follow normal ISO wiring convention which will cause Goodmans radios’
to lose the radio preset memories each time the ignition switch is turned off.  To prevent
such occurrences swap over the Red ignition and Orange Memory wires in the bullet
connectors attached to the wiring harness of the car radio.
