short period of time and then turn back on.

possible that the amplier has been damaged. This damage may have been as a result of abuse or
failure to follow the advice in this manual.
• Check both positive and ground cables for shorts.
• Check that the positive wire is connected to the +12V terminal of the amplier
• Check that the negative wire is connected to the GND terminal of the amplier
• Check that the correct fuse is tted.
