CAUTION

! To ensure proper heat dissipation of the ampli-

be dissipated, continuous use under high-vo-

down until it has cooled to a certain desig-

nated temperature.

! Place all cables away from hot places, such

as near the heater outlet.

! The optimal installation location differs de-

pending on the car model. Secure the ampli-

fier at a sufficiently rigid location.
