Composition of Manual

This manual applies to the GM-X362 and
GM-X262. However, the illustrations show
the GM-X362.

WARNING

• Always use the special red battery and ground

wire [RD-223], which is sold separately. Connect
the battery wire directly to the car battery positive
terminal (+) and the ground wire to the car body.

• Do not touch the amplifier with wet hands.

Otherwise you may get an electric shock. Also, do
not touch the amplifier when it is wet.

• For traffic safety and to maintain safe driving 

conditions, keep the volume low enough so that
you can still hear normal traffic sound.

• Check the connections of the power supply and

speakers if the fuse of the separately sold battery
wire or the amplifier fuse blows. Detect the cause
and solve the problem, then replace the fuse with
another one of the same size and rating. 

• To prevent malfunction of the amplifier and

speakers, the protective circuit will cut the power
supply to the amplifier (sound will stop) when an
abnormal condition occurs. In such a case, switch
the power to the system OFF and check the 
connection of the power supply and speakers.
Detect the cause and solve the problem.

• Contact the dealer if you cannot detect the cause.
• To prevent an electric shock or short-circuit 

during connection and installation, be sure to 
disconnect the negative (–) terminal of the battery
beforehand.

• Confirm that no parts are behind the panel when

drilling a hole for installation of the amplifier. Be
sure to protect all cables and important equipment
such as fuel lines, brake lines and the electrical
wiring from damage.

Selecting fine audio equipment such as the unit you’ve just purchased is only the start of your

musical enjoyment. Now it’s time to consider how you can maximize the fun and excitement your
equipment offers. This manufacturer and the Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer
Electronics Group want you to get the most out of your equipment by playing it at a safe level.
One that lets the sound come through loud and clear without annoying blaring or distortion—and,
most importantly, without affecting your sensitive hearing.

Sound can be deceiving. Over time your hearing “comfort level” adapts to higher volumes of

sound. So what sounds “normal” can actually be loud and harmful to your hearing. Guard against
this by setting your equipment at a safe level BEFORE your hearing adapts.

To establish a safe level:
• Start your volume control at a low setting.

• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and without distortion.
Once you have established a comfortable sound level:
• Set the dial and leave it there.

Taking a minute to do this now will help to prevent hearing damage or loss in the future. After all,

we want you listening for a lifetime.
We Want You Listening For A Lifetime

Used wisely, your new sound equipment will provide a lifetime of fun and enjoyment. Since

hearing damage from loud noise is often undetectable until it is too late, this manufacturer and the
Electronic Industries Association’s Consumer Electronics Group recommend you avoid prolonged
exposure to excessive noise. This list of sound levels is included for your protection.
