The Safety of Your Ears is in

Your Hands

Get the most out of your equipment by playing

it at a safe level—a level that lets the sound

come through clearly without annoying blar-

ing or distortion and, most importantly, with-

out affecting your sensitive hearing. Sound

can be deceiving. Over time, your hearing

“comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of

sound, so what sounds “normal” can actually

be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard

against this by setting your equipment at a

safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

ESTABLISH A SAFE LEVEL:



Set your volume control at a low setting.



Slowly increase the sound until you can

hear it comfortably and clearly, without

distortion.



Once you have established a comfortable

sound level, set the dial and leave it there.

BE SURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING

GUIDELINES:



Do not turn up the volume so high that you

can’t hear what’s around you.



Use caution or temporarily discontinue use

in potentially hazardous situations.



Do not use headphones while operating a

boat; the use of headphones may create a

traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.

Before connecting/installing

the amplifier

WARNING



To prevent fire hazard, the heatsink should never

be covered (such as by paper, material, etc.).



This unit is for boats with a 12 V battery and

negative grounding. Before installing, check

the battery voltage.



When installing this unit, make sure to con-

nect the ground wire first. Ensure that the

ground wire is properly connected to the neg-

ative ground circuit of the boat.

Use adequate

gauge, marine grade electrical wire that has

been properly terminated for marine use to

make a direct connection to the negative bus

bar or negative ground distribution system.

Do not attempt to ground the amplifier using

the mounting screws.



Use fused marine grade battery wire (sold

separately) of adequate gauge that has been

properly terminated for marine use to make

a direct connection to the positive bus bar or

positive distribution system.



If the screw for the ground wire loos-

ens or falls out, it could result in fire,

smoke or malfunction.



Always use a fuse of the rating prescribed.

The use of an improper fuse could result in

overheating and smoke, damage to the prod-

uct, and injury, including burns.



Check all electrical and signal connections

(power, ground, amplifier, speaker, etc.) if

amplifier fuse or battery wire fuse blows.

Resolve any loose or short circuited connec-

tions, then replace the blown fuse with an

identical value equivalent.



Always install the amplifier on an even sur-

face. Do not install the amplifier on a surface

that is uneven or has a protrusion. Doing so

could result in malfunction.



When installing the amplifier, do not allow

parts such as extra screws to get caught

between the amplifier and the boat. Doing so

could cause malfunction.



In the event of any abnormality, the power

supply to the amplifier may cut off to pre-

vent equipment malfunction. If this occurs,

switch the system power off and check all

electrical and signal connections (power,

ground, amplifier, speaker, etc.) for loose or

short circuited connections. If you are unable

to determine the cause, please contact your

dealer.



Always disconnect the negative

*

terminal

of the battery before making any electrical or

signal connections to avoid the risk of electric

shock or short circuit during installation.



Do not attempt to disassemble or modify

this unit. Doing so may result in fire, electric

shock or other malfunction. Damage or

defects resulting from alterations or modifica-

tions not authorized in writing by Pioneer are

excluded from limited warranty coverage.



Do not install the amplifier in a location

exposed to direct sunlight or excessive heat,

humidity or dust.
