OPERATION

1

Power Indicator

The POWER LED functions as both a power and a
warning indicator. When the amplifier is off, the indicator
is inactive and appears white. When power is applied to
the amplifier, the LED indicator illuminates green, provided
no malfunction is present, thus signifying the amplifier is
operating normally. When the LED illuminates red, the
built-in self-protection circuits have been activated and
have shut down operation of the amplifier. The protection
circuits may be triggered by the temperature of the unit
rising above a safe level or by an overload condition. If
activated by a rise in temperature, the unit will resume
operation after cooling off to a normal operating range. If
activated by an overload condition, the source of the
overload must be found and corrected to resume normal
operation of the amplifier. Most overload conditions are

After initial set-up, the amplifier should not require any further adjustment unless there is a change in the car stereo or speaker
system with which it is used.

caused by mis-wiring or operation into incorrect speaker
loads. Re-check all wiring and connections if this
situation occurs and correct as necessary.

Level(V) Control

The amplifier is capable of operating from audio signal
sources supplying a wide range of input levels. The
Level (V) control should initially be set to the mid-position.
If it is found that there is not enough output, even when the
volume control on the car stereo is at its maximum setting,
adjust the Level control to increase the output from the
system. If, however, there is still output from the amplifier
when the car stereo volume control is at its minimum
setting, or the output level increases too fast with a small
rotation of the volume control, adjust the Level control to
decrease the output from the system.
