Operation/Installation Manual
6.
When replacing the amplifier's fuse, always use one having the same
amperage rating. Substituting a higher rated fuse or a slow-blow type can
result
in
serious damage to the amplifier.
7.
When creating passage holes for power cables, RCA's cords, and speaker
wires, use grommets to eliminate any sharp edges created during drilling.
This will protect the wire from being nicked and causing a short circuit.
8.
Extra cable can cause signal loss and act as
an
"antenna" for noise. Use
only high-quality RCA cords that are no longer than necessary.
9.
In
multiple amplifier systems, it is recommended to use a relay on the
remote turn-on lead
of
the radio.
