WARNING
•Handling the cord on this product or cords associ-
ated with accessories sold with the product may
expose you to chemicals listed on proposition
65
known to the State
of
California and other gov-
ernmental entities to cause cancer and birth
defects
or
other reproductive harm. Wash hands
after handling.
•
We
recommended that you use the special red
battery and ground wire [RD-228], which is sold
separately. Connect the battery wire directly to
the car battery positive terminal (+) and the
ground wire to the car body.
•Do not touch the amplifier with wet hands.
Otherwise you may get an electric shock. Also, do
not touch the amplifier when it is wet.
•For traffic safety and to maintain safe driving
conditions, keep the volume low enough so that
you can still hear normal traffic sound.
•Check the connections
of
the power supply and
speakers
if
the fuse
of
the separately sold battery
wire
or
the amplifier fuse blows. Detect the cause
and solve the problem, then replace the fuse with
another one
of
the same size and rating.
•To prevent malfunction
of
the amplifier and
speakers, the protective circuit will cut the power
supply to the amplifier (sound will stop) when an
abnormal condition occurs. In such acase, switch
the power to the system OFF and check the
connection
of
the power supply and speakers.
Detect the cause and solve the problem.
•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 ahole 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.
•DO NOT allow amplifier to come into contact
with liquids due to, for example, the location
where the amplifier is installed. Electrical shock
could result. Also, amplifier and speaker damage,
smoke, and overheating could result from contact
with liquids. In addition, the amplifier surface and
the surface
of
any attached speakers could
become hot to the touch and minor bums could
result.

A
CAUTION
DO NOT install or use your Pioneer amplifier
by wiring speakers rated at 4Q(or lower) in
parallel to achieve a 2 Q(or lower) bridged
mode (Diagram B).
Amplifier damage, smoke, and overheating
could result from improper bridging. The ampli-
fier surface could also become hot to the touch
and minor bums could result.
To properly install
or
use abridged mode for a
two-channel amplifier and achieve a 4 Qload,
wire two 8Qspeakers in parallel with Left +
and Right -(Diagram A)
or
use asingle 4Q
speaker. For afour-channel amplifier, follow
•Never replace the fuse with one
of
greater value
or
rating than the original fuse. Use
of
an
improper fuse could result in overheating and
smoke and could cause damage to the product and
injury including bums.
•Use the supplied hexagonal wrench to tighten
screws when fastening wires to the terminal or
when changing the direction
of
the badge. The use
of
along, commercially available hexagonal
wrench can cause excessive torque to be applied
possibly resulting in damage to terminals and
wires.
