Batteries- Safety Instructions
Make sure to insert the battery aligning the correct polarity - the
positive and negative ends should be facing in the correct direction
as marked on equipment.
Incorrect tting may cause leakage or, in extreme cases, re or
even an explosion.
Always replace the whole set of batteries at one time, taking care
not to mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types, since
this may result in leakage or, in extreme cases, re or even an
explosion.
Store unused batteries in their packaging and away from metal
objects which may cause a short-circuit resulting in leakage or, in
extreme cases, re or even an explosion.
Remove dead batteries from equipment and all batteries from
equipment when you know you are not going to use for a long time.
Otherwise the batteries may leak and cause damage.

Hooking Up Speaker Cables
Before connecting make sure that your amplier is turned off.
Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other or any metal part
of this unit it may damage this amplier and/or speakers.
This may void your warranty.
The Speaker Connectors can accommodate up to 10AWG speaker cables as well
as most of popular plugs (banana etc.). It is recommended to leave about 150 cm
(5 feet) of extra cable at the amplier end to facilitate positioning and installation of the
amplier. Do not use staples, nails or other metal objects to secure the cables.
You will get the best sound quality and least amount of hum by keeping the cables
away from other electrical wires and cables.
Pay attention to connecting the polarity of the amplier correctly with the speakers
in each speaker group (speakers should be connected RED + with RED + amplier
connector, BLACK – with BLACK – amplier connector).
Please refer to your speaker instruction manual for more information.

of insulation from the end of the
conductor. Twist the bare wires rmly
together.
2.Loosen the speaker connector.
3.Insert the bare wires of the conductor
into the gap of the speaker connector.

After that, Press the INFO button for over 2 seconds:

» If no time signal is received, [NO CT] will be displayed.
