WARNING
Your new
LINEAR POWER™
amplifier, when used in conjunction with many of
the efficient speaker systems on the market today, can produce sound pressure
levels that are considered harmful to your hearing.
Exposure to loud music may lead to loss in hearing. This effect may not be
readily appreciated because the damage to hearing is progressive.
Those who are exposed to excessive sound pressure should utilize direct
individual protection in the form of earplugs or earmuffs, which are specifically
designed for noise reduction.
In accordance with the
OSHA
(Occupational Safety and Health Act) regulations
for noise levels as they relate to the work area, excessive sound pressure is
defined as
115 db
(a) continuous for any length of time.
We recommend that you exercise restraint while enjoying the performance of this
and other high-powered mobile audio equipment.
GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
NO SOUND:
Check all connections. Check main power fuse. Check assessor
fuse. With a trouble light or meter, be sure +12V is present at the amplifier on the
large positive cable and on the small red/white turn-on wire. Check for a good
ground connection. Check by substitution or other method for proper operation of
music source.
BLOWS FUSES:
Check all connections to be sure all power wires and speaker
wires do not touch ground or each other. Re-check polarity of main power wires.
SHUTS OFF:
As this amplifier is equipped with a thermal and a short circuit
shutdown system, in the unlikely event of excessive temperatures due to high
ambient temperature or improper speaker impedance, the amp will turn itself off.
To avoid damage to the speakers, turn the volume to a minimum while waiting for
the amp to turn itself back on.
BUILT IN NOISE SUPPRESSION
The vehicle's battery forms a huge capacitor bank that does a fantastic job of
filtering noise. Unfortunately, batteries grow old and lose their ability to hold a
charge. At the same time, they lose their ability to filter noise; even corrosion on
the battery terminals will cause increased noise as it isolates the battery.
