10. B+ Terminal (Battery positive)

Due to the power requirements of the Amplifier, this c onnec tion should be ma de

9. LED Indicator

PWR(Powe r): This G REEN LED will illumina te whe n the a mplifie r is turne d "O N". If it fa ils 
to illumina te , c he c k the powe r c onne c tions to the Amplifie r a nd fuse s.
PROT(Protec tion): The a mplifier protec tion c irc uitry will disa ble the a mplifier if input overloa d, 
short c irc uit or extremely high tempera ture c onditions a re detec ted. When the protec tion 
mode is in opera tion, the LED indic a tor on the side pa nel will be illumina ted, indic a ting the 
a mplifier ha s gone into a  self-preserva tion mode.

If you observe tha t the Protec tion LED is lit, plea se c hec k the system c a refully to determine

remote power off a nd then on a ga in. If the a mplifier shut down due to a  therma l overloa d 
c ondition, plea se a llow it to c ool down before resta rting. If the a mplifier shut down bec a use 
of a n input overloa d or short c irc uit, be sure to repa ir these c onditions before a ttempting to
