AUDIO LEVEL CONTROL

When using the CHTO-01 with a radio that has a high audio pre-out voltage,

usually greater than 2 volts, the audio signal may become distorted.

To resolve this follow these steps:

1. Make sure the ignition is turned to the “off” position.

2. Disconnect both of the harnesses from the CHTO-01.

3. Remove the cove from the CHTO-01 by squeeezing the sides of the

cover to release the clips.

4. Locate the potentiometer on the circit board. See Figure A.

5. Taking a small flat headed screwdriver, turn the potentiometer counter

lockwise to lower the input level going to the factory amplifier.

6. After making the adjustment, replace the cover and reconnect wire

harnesses.
