If the amplifiers operating temperature runs over 105°C (221°F), the amplifier will go into thermal protection to prevent damage from
overheating. The
Protect Indicator LED
located on the front of the amp will light up, and the output signal will be muted. The fans will start to run
at max speed to allow the amp to return to a safe operating temperature. To prevent amplifier overheating, make sure your input signal is not
clipping (Red LED indicator located at the front), and that you are not overdriving the amp. Make sure not to block the airflow input and output
vents and always use the amp in an environment that is no higher than 30°C (86°F). Never use a speaker load that exceeds power or impedance
ratings.
