A good user manual

The rules should oblige the seller to give the purchaser an operating instrucion of Profile HA1000, along with an item. The lack of an instruction or false information given to customer shall constitute grounds to apply for a complaint because of nonconformity of goods with the contract. In accordance with the law, a customer can receive an instruction in non-paper form; lately graphic and electronic forms of the manuals, as well as instructional videos have been majorly used. A necessary precondition for this is the unmistakable, legible character of an instruction.

What is an instruction?

The term originates from the Latin word „instructio”, which means organizing. Therefore, in an instruction of Profile HA1000 one could find a process description. An instruction's purpose is to teach, to ease the start-up and an item's use or performance of certain activities. An instruction is a compilation of information about an item/a service, it is a clue.

Unfortunately, only a few customers devote their time to read an instruction of Profile HA1000. A good user manual introduces us to a number of additional functionalities of the purchased item, and also helps us to avoid the formation of most of the defects.

What should a perfect user manual contain?

First and foremost, an user manual of Profile HA1000 should contain:
- informations concerning technical data of Profile HA1000
- name of the manufacturer and a year of construction of the Profile HA1000 item
- rules of operation, control and maintenance of the Profile HA1000 item
- safety signs and mark certificates which confirm compatibility with appropriate standards

Why don't we read the manuals?

Usually it results from the lack of time and certainty about functionalities of purchased items. Unfortunately, networking and start-up of Profile HA1000 alone are not enough. An instruction contains a number of clues concerning respective functionalities, safety rules, maintenance methods (what means should be used), eventual defects of Profile HA1000, and methods of problem resolution. Eventually, when one still can't find the answer to his problems, he will be directed to the Profile service. Lately animated manuals and instructional videos are quite popular among customers. These kinds of user manuals are effective; they assure that a customer will familiarize himself with the whole material, and won't skip complicated, technical information of Profile HA1000.

Why one should read the manuals?

It is mostly in the manuals where we will find the details concerning construction and possibility of the Profile HA1000 item, and its use of respective accessory, as well as information concerning all the functions and facilities.

After a successful purchase of an item one should find a moment and get to know with every part of an instruction. Currently the manuals are carefully prearranged and translated, so they could be fully understood by its users. The manuals will serve as an informational aid.

    1 Serial # Model # I NTRODUCTION Congratulations on your purchase of a Baja state-of-the-art power amplifier. Your selection of a Baja car audio product indicates a true appreciation of fine musical reproduction. Whether adding to an existing system or including your Baja amplifier in a new system, you are certain to notice immediate performance be[...]

    2 S AFETY PRECAUTIONS battery in case of a short circuit between the power amplifier and battery. THIS IS A MUST. The amplifier's built-in fuse will only protect the power amplifier and not the car's battery! The fuse value is based on the amplifiers rated power and how many amplifiers will be run off the same power wire. Please see the s[...]

    3 Built-in Crossover The Baja amplifiers include a built-in variable **high and low pass crossovers. The crossover features a variable frequency selection of (80 Hz ~ 1.2k Hz) for precise high pass filter and (50 Hz ~ 250 Hz) for low pass filter. ** HA1000, HA700M and HA1000M models only have a 50 Hz ~ 250 Hz low pass filter. F EATURES AND BENEFITS[...]

    Tri-Mode Capable (Excluding HA700M & HA1000M models) If so desired the amplifier may be run in stereo and mono at the same time. For example, this feature would allow you to run a pair of mids and tweeters in stereo and a subwoofer in mono. 4 Remote Turn-on Automatically turns amplifier on when connected to the head unit's remote output. T[...]

    5 Short Circuit Protection The circuit protects the amplifier from damage due to a short found in the speakers or wiring. If one of the speakers or its wiring comes in contact with ground, the amplifier will shut down. To resume normal operation, correct the problem and turn the head unit off, then back on. The amplifier will reset and play again. [...]

    6 P OWER CONNECTIONS Connect the B+ terminal of the amplifier to the car's battery. At times, the amplifier will need to draw large levels of current that cannot be provided by any circuit in the car's fuse box. We recommended using a 4 to 10 gauge power wire (red) for your connections depending on the amplifier size and length of the wir[...]

    7 M OUNTING LOCATION Before you start the installation, it will be necessary to find a mounting location for the amplifier. Find a location in which the amplifier will receive adequate ventilation in order to dissipate the heat it develops during operation. Two popular mounting locations are in the trunk or under the seat. Select the location in wh[...]

    10 Make the speaker connections using speaker wire that is at least 14 gauge or heavier. As with any audio component, proper phasing of the amplifier and speakers is essential for strong bass response. When connecting, make sure that positive (+) from the amplifier is connected to the positive (+) of the speaker, and the same for negative (-). S PE[...]

    11 S PEAKER CONNECTIONS (BRIDGED) Two and four channel amplifiers are capable of being bridged ** into a mono configuration. This feature allows you the flexibility of using the amplifier to drive a subwoofer or a center channel. In this configuration the amplifier sums the right and left channel to deliver one channel (mono) output. Please note: I[...]
