RESPONSIBILITY IN CASES WHERE AN ACCIDENT OR FAILURE IS AS

A RESULT OF UNSPECIFIED PARTS BEING USED OR DUE TO
NEGLIGENCE DURING REPAIR.
1. USE SPECIFIED PARTS.
THE SYSTEM USES PARTS WITH SPECIAL SAFETY FEATURES
AGAINST FIRE AND VOLTAGE. USE ONLY PARTS WITH
EQUIVALENT CHARACTERISTICS WHEN REPLACING THEM.
2.PLACE THE PARTS AND WIRING BACK IN THEIR ORIGINAL
POSITIONS AFTER REPLACEMENT OR RE-WIRING.
FOR PROPER CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTION, USE OF INSULATION
TUBES, BONDING, GAPS TO PWB, ETC, IS INVOLVED. THE WIRING
CONNECTION AND ROUTING TO THE PWB ARE SPECIALLY
PLANNED USING CLAMPS TO KEEP AWAY FROM HEATED AND HIGH
VOLTAGE PARTS. ENSURE THAT THEY ARE PLACED BACK IN THEIR
ORIGINAL POSITIONS AFTER REPAIR OR INSPECTION.
3.CHECK FOR SAFETY AFTER REPAIR.
CHECK THAT THE SCREWS, PARTS AND WIRES ARE PUT BACK
SECURELY IN THEIR ORIGINAL POSITION AFTER REPAIR. ENSURE
FOR SAFETY REASONS THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF SECONDARY
PROBLEMS AROUND THE REPAIRED SPOTS.
4.CAUTION IN REMOVAL AND MAKING WIRING CONNECTION TO THE
PARTS FOR THE AUTOMOBILE. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY
TERMINAL AFTER TURNING THE IGNITION KEY OFF. IF WRONG
WIRING CONNECTIONS ARE MADE WITH THE BATTERY
CONNECTED, A SHORT CIRCUIT AND/OR FIRE MAY OCCUR.
5. CAUTIONS REGARDING CHIPS.
DO NOT REUSE REMOVED CHIPS EVEN WHEN NO ABNORMALITY IS
OBSERVED IN THEIR APPEARANCE. ALWAYS REPLACE THEM
WITH NEW ONES. (THE CHIP PARTS INCLUDE RESISTORS,
CAPACITORS, DIODES, TRANSISTORS, ETC). THE NEGATIVE POLE
OF TANTALUM CAPACITORS IS HIGHLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO HEAT, SO
USE SPECIAL CARE WHEN REPLACING THEM AND CHECK THE
OPERATION AFTERWARDS.
6. CAUTIONS IN HANDLING FLEXIBLE PWB BEFORE WORKING WITH
A SOLDERING IRON MAKE SURE THAT THE IRON TIP TEMPERATURE
IS AROUND 270 . TAKE CARE NOT TO APPLY THE IRON TIP
REPEATEDLY (MORE THAN THREE TIMES) TO THE SAME PATTERNS.
ALSO TAKE CARE NOT TO APPLY THE TIP WITH FORCE.
7. TURN THE UNIT OFF DURING DISASSEMBLY AND PARTS
REPLACEMENT. RECHECK ALL WORK BEFORE YOU APPLY POWER
TO THE UNIT NOTE: FOR FURTHER
IMPROVEMENT, SPECIFICATIONS AND DESIGN ARE SUBJECT TO
CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

SOLUTION
CHECK REMOTE CONNECTIONS AT AMPLIFIER AND SOURCE UNIT.
REPLACE WITH NEW FAST-BLOW FUSE (SAME RATING).
CHECK BATTERY AND GROUND WIRING AT AMPLIFIER; ALSO CHECK
BATTERY CONNECTIONS.
CHECK SPEAKER CONTINUITY TO GROUND, IT SHOULD NOT SHOW
A COMMON GROUND.
CHECK SPEAKER CONNECTIONS AT AMPLIFIER, MEASURE COIL
IMPEDANCE.
CHECK LOCATION FOR ADEQUATE VENTILATION; CONSULT AN
AUTHORIZED CLARION AUDIO DEALER.
REVIEW SETTING GAIN; INSPECT EACH SPEAKER CONE FOR SIGNS
OF DAMAGE (I.E., FROZEN CONE, BURNING SMELL, ETC.)
REVIEW INSTALLATION AND CHECK ALL WIRING CONNECTION.
