¢ Do not connect any activé speakers (with built-in
amplifiers) to the speaker terminals of the unit.
Doing so may damage the active speakers.
¢ Avoid installing the unit where:
— it would be subject to high temperatures such
as from direct sunlight or hot air from the

circuit* to protect the transistors and speakers if
the amplifier malfunctions. Do not attempt to test
the protection circuits by covering the heat sink
or connecting improper loads.
* Do not use the unit on a weak battery as its
optimum performance depends on a good power
supply.
¢ For safety reasons, keep your car audio volume
moderate so that you can still hear sounds
outside your car.
