BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:

!

Do not turn up the volume so high that you
can

t hear what

s around you.

!

Use caution or temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations.

!

Do not use headphones while operating a
boat; the use of headphones may create a
traffic hazard and is illegal in many area-
s.

About This Product

This product is a mono amplifier for subwoofer. If
both L (left) and R (right) channels are connected
to the RCA input of this product, output is mixed
because this product is a mono amplifier.

Before connecting/
installing the amplifier

WARNING

!

This product contains chemicals known to the
State of California and other governmental en-
tities tocause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after

handling.

!

To prevent fire hazard, the heatsink should
never be covered with items (such as papers,
cloths).

!

This unit is for the boats with a 12 V battery
and negative grounding. Before installing,
check the battery voltage.

!

When installing this unit, make sure to con-
nect the ground wire first. Ensure that the
ground wire is properly connected to the
metal parts of the boat body. The ground wire
of the one of this unit must be connected to
the boat separately with different screws. If
the screw for the ground wire loosens or falls
out, it could result in fire, generation of smoke
or malfunction.

!

Be sure to install the fuse to the battery wire.

!

Always use a fuse of the rating prescribed.
The use of an improper fuse could result in
overheating and smoke, damage to the pro-
duct and injury, including burns.

!

Check the connections of the power supply
and speakers if the fuse of the separately sold
battery wire or the amplifier fuse blows. Deter-
mine and resolve the cause, then replace the
fuse with and identical equivalent.

!

Always install the amplifier on a flat surface.
Do not install the amplifier on a surface that
is not flat or on a surface with a protrusion.
Doing so could result in malfunction.

!

When installing the amplifier, do not allow
parts such as extra screws to get caught be-
tween the amplifier and the boat. Doing so
could cause malfunction.

!

Do not allow this unit to come into contact
with liquids. Electrical shock could result.
Also, damage to this unit, smoke, and over-
heating could result from contact with liquids.
The surfaces of the amplifier and any attached
speakers may also heat up and cause minor
burns.

!

In the event of any abnormality, the power
supply to the amplifier is cut off to prevent
equipment malfunction. If this occurs, switch
the system power off and check the power
supply and speaker connections. If you are un-
able to determine the cause, please contact
your dealer.

!

Always disconnect the negative

*

terminal of

the battery beforehand to avoid the risk of
electric shock or short circuit during installa-
tion.

!

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this
unit. Doing so may result in fire, electric
shock or other malfunction.

!

Although this amplifier is designed specially
for marine applications, it is not submersible.
Do not install it in places that are prone to get-
ting wet.

!

Do not install in places under direct sunlight,
places exposed to extreme heat or high hu-
midity, or places that will get wet.
