When

determining

a

suitable

location

in

your

vehicle

for

the

amp,

please

remember

that

it

is

a

high-power

use

the

Lanzar

Vector

Series

amplifiers

feature

built-in

fuse

systems.

These

fuses

protect

both

the

amplifier

and

the

electrical

system

in

your

vehicle

from

fault

conditions.

If

you

ever

need

to

replace

the

fuse

in

your

Lanzar

Vector

Series

amp,

use

a

fuse

of

exaclly

the

same

type

and

rating.

A

different

type

or

rating

of

fuse

may

result

in

damage

or

fire.

The

built-in

protection

circuitry

in

the

Lanzar

Vector

Series

amplifiers

will

disable

the

amplifier

if

it

senses

an

input

overload,

a

speaker

short

CIrcuit,

or

extreme

temperature

conditions.

When

the

protection

circuit

is

activated

by

any

of

these

conditions,

the

Protection

LED

will

be

illuminated.

If

this

occurs,

carefully

inspect

the

system

to

determine

the

source

of

the

problem.

•

If

the

shutdown

was

a

result

of

a

thermal

overload

condition,

allow

the

amplifier

to

cool

down

before

attempting

to

restart

it.

•

If

the

shutdown

was

a

result

of

an

input

overload,

or

speaker

short

circuit,

be

sure

to

correct

the

condition

before

restarting.

The

amplifier

can

be

restarted

by

turning

the

remote

power

OFF

and

then

ON

again.

If

the

whose

this

usually

means

that
