WARNING
The cable that links the positive (+) terminal to the battery at the amplifier's "+ BATT" binding post terminal
must ABSOLUTELY be fused (see current ratings listed in the table on page 19) not more than 40cm from the
vehicle's battery. The connections on the fuse-holder must be fully insulated.
3.7.1 - You can now start the fuse-holder (the role of which is to make the system safe) installation phase.
The fuse-holder must be connected on both sides to the positive (+) power supply cable. It has to be near
the battery (i.e. 10cm - 40cm from the battery). Disassemble the fuse-holder, taking care to remove the fuse.
Attach the base of the fuse-holder. Cut the red power supply cable at a distance of between 10cm and 40cm
(maximum) from the battery. Retain the cable you do not use here, as it will be used later, to link the other end
of the fuse-holder to the positive (+) terminal of the vehicle's battery. Strip 1cm of the cable end, then tin it.
Screw the cable into the fuse-holder binding post terminal. Do not throw away the spare cable that is left over.
Strip 1cm of the cable end, then tin it. Screw the cable into the other fuse-holder binding post terminal (fig. 7).
