Mounting the Unit
Caution
Never mount the unit in any of the following locations
to avoid damage due to overheating;
• Near the heater port.
• Places like the dashboard or rear deck, where it may
be exposed to direct sunlight.
Do not mount the unit near the door, where it could
be exposed to rain.
You run the risk of interfering with the mounting or
causing damage by drilling into the gas tank, a wiring
harness, or other component.
Keep a safe distance between the unit and other
electronic equipment.
If this unit is operated at a high output continuously,
the upper side of the unit will get very hot. Do not
touch it nor place anything on top of the unit.
When a short circuit occurs, such as in the speaker
output terminal, etc. the overload protection circuit
will operate. This circuit protects the power amplifi er
from further damage when a short circuit occurs.
Operation will temporarily stop. In this case, check
the cause of the short-circuit and if the problem is
fi xed, normal operation will resume.
Since the power amplifi er has a very large output, the
unit should be installed in the trunk of your car.
Do not install this unit under a carpet, otherwise the
unit may fail because of immature heat dissipation.
Use the spacer included when installing the unit so
that the fan and air hole on the base side of the unit
are not covered. <CY-PAD1003N>
If the fan and air hole on the base side of the unit are
covered, the unit will become extremely hot and may
fail.
