THE PURCHASED DEVICE IS ONLY SUITABLE FOR AN OPERATION WITH A 12V ON-BOARD ELECTRI-
CAL SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE. Otherwise fire hazard, risk of injury and electric shock consists.
PLEASE DO NOT MAKE ANY OPERATION OF THE SOUND SYSTEM, WHICH DISTRACT YOU FROM A
SAFE DRIVING. Do not make any procedures, which demand a longer attention. Perform these operations not
until you have stopped the vehicle on a safe place. Otherwise the risk of accident consists.
ADJUST THE SOUND VOLUME TO AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL, THAT YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO HEAR
EXTERIOR NOISES WHILE DRIVING. High performance sound systems in vehicles may generate the acous-
tic pressure of a live concert. The permanent listening to extreme loud music may cause the loss of your hear-
ing abilities. The hearing of extreme loud music while driving may derogate your cognition of warning signals in
the traffic. In the interests of the common safeness, we suggest to drive with a lower sound volume. Otherwise
the risk of accident consists.
DO NOT COVER COOLING VENTS AND HEAT SINKS. Otherwise this may cause heat accumulation in the
device and fire hazard consists.
DO NOT OPEN THE DEVICE. Otherwise fire hazard, risk of injury and electric shock consists. Also this may
cause a loss of the warranty.
REPLACE FUSES ONLY WITH FUSE WITH THE SAME RATING. Otherwise fire hazard and risk of electric
shock consists.
DO NOT USE THE DEVICE ANY LONGER, IF A MALFUNCTION OCCURS, WHICH REMAINS NOT REM-
EDIED. Refer in this case to the chapter TROUBLE SHOOTING. Otherwise risk of injury and the damage of
the device consists. Commit the device to an authorized retailer.
INTERCONNECTION AND INSTALLATION SHOULD BE ACCOMPLISHED BY SKILLED STAFF ONLY. The
interconnection and installation of this device demands technical aptitude and experience. For your own safe-
ness, commit the interconnection and installation to your car audio retailer, where you have purchased the
device.
DISCONNECT THE GROUND CONNECTION FROM THE VEHICLE’S BATTERY BEFORE INSTALLATION.
Before you start with the installation of the sound system, disconnect by any means the ground supply wire
from the battery, to avoid any risk of electric shock and short circuits.
CHOOSE AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE DEVICE. Look for an appropri-
ate location for the device, which ensures a sufficient air circulation. The best places are spare wheel cavities,
and open spaces in the trunk area. Less suitable are storage spaces behind the side coverings or under the
car seats.
DO NOT INSTALL THE DEVICE AT LOCATIONS, WHERE IT WILL BE EXPOSED TO HIGH HUMIDITY AND
DUST. Install the device at a location, where it will be protected from high humidity and dust. If humidity and
dust attain inside the device, malfunctions may be caused.
MOUNT THE DEVICE AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE SOUND SYSTEM SUFFICIENTLY. Otherwise
the device and components may get loose and act as dangerous objects, which could cause serious harm and
damages in the passenger room.
ENSURE CORRECT CONNECTION OF ALL TERMINALS. Faulty connections may could cause fire hazard
and lead to damages of the device.
