SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
ENG
Before you start with the installation of the sound system, disconnect by any means the GROUND connection wire
from the battery, to avoid any risk of electric shock and short circuits.
REFERENCE NOTE
THE PURCHASED DEVICE IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR AN OPER-
ATION WITH A 12V ON-BOARD ELECTRICAL SYSTEM OF A
VEHICLE.
Otherwise fire hazard, risk of injury and electric shock
consists.
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY OPERATION OF THE SOUNDSY-
STEM, WHICH DISTRACT YOU FROM A SAFE DRIVING.
Do not make any procedures, 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.
Otherwise fire hazard and risk of electric shock consists.
DO NOT USE THE DEVICE ANY LONGER, IF A MALFUNCTION,
WHICH REMAINS UNREMEDIED.
Attend in this case the chapter
TROUBLE SHOOTING. Otherwise risk of injury and the damage of
the device consists. Commit the device to an authorized retailer.
THE INSTALLATION OF A POWER CAPACITOR WITH SUFFICIENT
CAPACITY IS RECOMMENDED.
High performance sound systems
cause high potential 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 buffer. Consult your car audio retailer for
the appropriate capacity.
INTERCONNECTION AND INSTALLATION SHOULD BE ACCOM-
PLISHED BY SKILLED STAFF ONLY.
The interconnection and
installation of this device demands technical aptitude and experience.
For your own safness, 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 A APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR THE INSTALLATION
OF THE DEVICE.
Look for a appropriate location for the device, which
ensures 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 location, 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
connections may could cause fire hazard and lead to damages of the
device.
DO NOT INSTALL AUDIO CABLES AND POWER SUPPLY WIRES
TOGETHER.
Attend while installation not to lead the audio cables
between the headunit and the sound system 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
OBJECTS.
Install all the wires and cables like described on the
following pages, 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 capacity 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, a risk of serious injuries consists.
Consult promtly a medical doctor, if a child swallowed a small object.
