The
Safety
of
Your
Ears is
in
Your
Hands
Get the most
out
of your
equipment
by
playing
it at a safe
level-a
level
that
lets the sound
come
through
clearly
without
annoying blar-
ing
or
distortion and, most importantly, with-
out
affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound
can
be
deceiving. Over time, your hearing
"comfort
level" adapts to
higher
volumes of
sound, so
what
sounds "normal" can actually
be
loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard
against this
by
setting your
equipment
at a
safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.
ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:
• Set your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can
hear it comfortably and clearly,
without
dis-
tortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable
sound level, set the dial and leave it there.
BE
SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING
GUIDELINES:
• Do not turn up the volume so high
that
you
can't
hear
what's
around you.
• Use caution
or
temporarily discontinue use
in potentially hazardous situations.
En
• Do not use headphones while operating a
motorized vehicle; the use of headphones
may create a traffic hazard and is illegal in
many
areas.~

unit
must
be connected to the
car
separately with different screws. If the screw
for
the ground wire loosens or falls out, it
could result
in
fire, generation of smoke
or
malfunction.
• Always use a fuse of the rating prescribed.
The use of
an
improper
fuse could result
in
overheating and smoke, damage to the pro-
duct
and injury, including burns.
• Check the connections of the power supply
and speakers if the fuse of the separately sold
battery wire orthe
amp
I
ifier fuse blows. Deter-
mine and resolve the cause,then replace the

that
is
not flat or on a surface with a protrusion.
Doing so could result in malfunction.
