Use this unit in other than the following condi-
tions could result in fire or malfunction.
— Vehicles with a 12-volt battery and negative
grounding.
— Speakers with 50 W (output value) and 4 ohm
to 8 ohm (impedance value).
•
To prevent short-circuit, overheating or malfunc-
tion, be sure to follow the directions below.
— Disconnect the negative terminal of the bat-
tery before installation.
— Secure the wiring with cable clamps or adhe-
sive tape. To protect the wiring, wrap adhe-

into the engine compartment to connect to a
battery.
— Cover any disconnected cable connectors
with insulating tape.
