Attend these reference notes by any means, otherwise damage of the device or the vehicle may be caused. Furthermore serious injuries may be caused by not following these reference notes. In vehicles with a newer year of manufacturing (since approx. [. . . ] Do not mount the device into small or sealed spaces without air circulation near by heat dispersing parts or electrical parts of the vehicle. Do not mount the amplifier on top of a subwooferbox or any other vibrating parts, thereby parts in the inside of the amplifier may get loosen. The wires and cables of power supply and the audio signal must be as short as possible, to avoid any losses and interferences. Vehicle At first you need to find a suitable location to install the amplifier into the vehicle. Observe that there remains enough space for the installation of the cables and ensure that they will not be bended and have sufficient pull relief. Then mark the four drill holes with a appropriate pen or peening tool through the designated mounting holes at the amplifier. Marking Vehicle Put the amplifier aside and then drill the holes for the mounting screws at the before marked locations. Please ensure not to damage any components of the vehicle while drilling the holes. Alternatively (depends on the material of the surface) you can also use self-tapping screws. Vehicle Then uphold the amplifier to the chosen position and fix the screws through the mounting holes into the drilled screwholes. Ensure that the mounted amplifier is fixed tight and not get loosen while driving. BEFORE THE CONNECTION For the professional installation of a sound system appropriate wiring kits are available in car audio retailer stores. Attend the sufficient profile section (at least 16 mm2), the suitable fuse rating and the conductivity of the cables when you purchase your wiring kit. Clean and remove rust-streaked and oxidized areas on the contact points of the battery and the ground connection. Make sure that all screws are fixed tight after the installation, because loosely connections may cause malfunctions, insufficient power supply or interferences. GND Connect this GROUND terminal with a suitable contact ground point on the vehicle's chassis. The ground wire must be as short as possible and must be connected to a blank metallic point at the vehicle's chassis. Ensure that this ground point has a stable and safe electric connection to the negative "­"pole of the battery. Check this ground wire from the battery to the ground point if possible and enforce it, if required. Use a ground wire with a sufficient cross section (at least 16 mm2) and the same size like the plus (+12V) power supply wire. Automatic antenna) or the turn-on remote signal of your headunit with the REM-terminal of the amplifier. Use therefor a suitable cable with a sufficient cross section (0, 5 mm2). [. . . ] Remedy: Turn down the level Replacing the cables Check the headunit If overloading, overheating and shorted loudspeakers, or too low impedance or insufficient power supply is insisted, the amplifier shuts down to prevent serious damage. If one of this disfunctions is detected, the red PROTECT LED lights up. If the reason for the disfunction is eliminated, the amplifier is ready for operation again. If the red PROTECT LED does not stop to light up, a damage on the amplifier is insisted. [. . . ]
