Compliance with FCC Rules

Compliance with FCC Rules (U.S.A. Only)
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subjected to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

NOTICE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against Harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful Interference to radio communications.

FCC WARNING

• Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
• Proper connections must be used for connection to a host computer and/or peripherals in order to meet FCC emission limits.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• To ensure full satisfaction with the product, please read the entire instruction manual.
• Keep instructions for future reference.
• Follow all operation guidelines and adhere to all safety warnings and cautions to ensure safe use.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Never use harsh cleaning agents. Clean only with mild cleaner and soft cloth.

When Driving
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of your surroundings.

Protect from Water
Do not submerge, as this can cause electrical shorts, fire or other damage. Avoid power washing amplifier as water pressure may exceed IPX5 water rating.

Protect from High Temperatures
Exposure to direct sunlight for an extended period of time can produce very high temperatures inside your vehicle. Give the interior a chance to cool down before starting playback. Do not mount the radio within close proximity of the engine compartment.

Use the Proper Power Supply
This product is designed to operate with a 12 volt DC negative ground battery system.

WARNING:

• DO NOT OPEN, DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER THE UNIT IN ANY WAY. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock or product damage.
• USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSE. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock or product damage.
• DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS THAT MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION. Doing so may obstruct vision or hamper movement which can result in a serious accident.
• INSTALL THE WIRING SO THAT IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY SCREWS OR SHARP METAL EDGES. Route the cables away from moving parts or sharp pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If the wiring must pass through a metal hole, be sure to use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole. It is also recommended to apply sealing caulk to any opening that may potentially allow water to enter.
• Be sure to choose a location that is flat and has clearance above the unit to prevent any damage, as well as allow for ventilation. Please orient and mount horizontally or vertically if possible.
• Before drilling any holes, carefully inspect the area underneath and behind the mounting surface where the device will be mounted to make sure it will not interfere with existing wires, fuel lines, the fuel tank or any other objects that could be damaged.
• Always disconnect the vehicle negative battery terminal during installation to prevent accidental shorting.

DSP SETTING

Mode Switch
Remove the side panel door using a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Determine best DSP setting based on the table below. If the chosen speaker model(s) is not shown in the table, use “Memory 1”. “Memory 1” still uses the DSP for signal processing, but the EQ and gain is not optimized for any particular speaker. When the power amplifier is turned OFF, rotate the mode select switch (1) to desired memory location. Once mode is selected make sure to reinstall the side panel door before further operation.
