speakers, the protective circuit will cut the power

supply to the amplifier (sound will stop) when an

abnormal condition occurs. In such a case, switch

the power to the system OFF and check the

connection of the power supply and speakers.

• Contact the dealer if you cannot detect the cause.

• To prevent an electric shock or short-circuit

during connection and installation, be sure to

disconnect the negative (–) terminal of the battery

beforehand.

• Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when

drilling a hole for installation of the amplifier. Be

sure to protect all cables and important equipment

such as fuel lines, brake lines and the electrical

wiring from damage.

Setting the Unit

Gain Control

If the sound level is too low, even when

the volume of the car stereo used along

with this power amplifier is turned up,

turn gain control on the front of the

power amplifier clockwise. If the sound

distorts when the volume is turned up,

turn the gain control counter-clockwise.

• When using with an RCA equipped car

stereo (standard output of 500 mV), set to

the NORMAL position. When using with

an RCA equipped Pioneer car stereo with

max. output of 4 V or more, adjust level to

match the car stereo output level.

• If you hear too much noise when using the

speaker input terminals, turn the gain

control counter-clockwise.

Power Indicator

The power indicator lights when the

power is switched on.

BFC (Beat Frequency Control) Switch

If you hear a beat while listening to an

AM broadcast with your car stereo,

change the BFC switch using a small

standard tip screwdriver.
