If any audible distortion is detected, reduce the volume of the source unit until output is no longer distorted. Finally, leave the volume control at this position during system tuning.
Select a dry and well-ventilated location to install the device.
The device must not be installed in overly exposed location such on the rear shelf, rear seat etc.
The installation location must be on a stable ground support and suitable for screw holes

Integrated Fuse

The integrated fuse in the device protects the output voltage and the entire electrical system in case of malfunction. In case of fuse damage, do not replace with higher current fuse.

Switching On/Off

This device will automatically turn on if a music signal is detected. The device will also automatically turn off if no music signal is received.
