ImportantSafetyInstructions
Read and follow all the instructions listed in this manual. Follow all safety and procedural recommendations to prevent
damage to your self, your Kicker product, or your portable entertainment devic
e.
The ZK500 should not be used near water or in an environment where exposure to liquids is possible. This includes but
is not exclusive to areas where splashing, dripping
, leaks, spills, and exposure to rain can occur. Liquid containers should
not be placed on or near the ZK500 Stereo System. The ZK500 Stereo System should not be cleaned with liquid
cleaners. Use only a dr
y cloth to clean the ZK500. Only use the ZK500 in areas with adequate open ventilation allowing
at least 4” of space on all sides of the ZK500. Do not set the ZK500 on any surface or cover t
he ZK500 with any object
that could impede the airflow to and from the ZK500 Stereo System. The ZK500 should not be placed near any source
of heat. This includes but is not limite
d to stoves, radiators, heating elements, electronic heat sources, and areas where
excessive solar heat can be generated. Do not install the ZK500 near any flame or place any flammable objects near t
he
device. The power outlet used to provide power to the ZK500 should be accessible at all times. The polarized 2-prong
electrical plug has a wide blade and narrow blade that
should fit into the corresponding wide and narrow receiving
connections of your electrical outlet. Do not force the plug into the outlet. If the plug provided with the unit does
not fit,
consult with an electrician to upgrade the electrical outlet accordingly. T he power cord should be situated in a way that
protects it from being pinched, walked on, tripped over, or
accidentally pulled from the electrical outlet or the electrical
input on the ZK500. Do not run the cable through doorways or underneath objects that could damage the wire or
tear
the insulating material surrounding the wire. Only use the manufacturer supplied power supply with the ZK500. We
recommend using a surge protector/power conditioner and unplugging the ZK500
during any electrical storms or
situations that could cause voltage fluctuations in the electrical system.

options listed on the LCD display below are available for adjustment by the rotary control. The rotary
control knob is used as a push-button to power on the ZK500 and to scroll through the menus
available on the LCD screen. Turning the rotary control knob allows you
to adjust the parameters of the

After plugging the power supply into the DC input on the back of the ZK500, the unit will be in
“Standby” mode, as displayed by the LCD screen on
the System Menu. Turn the power on by pushing
the rotary control button once. When the power is on, both the “Kicker” logo and “Vol” will be displayed

screen. Turn the rotary knob to adjust the volume up or down. The rotary control will automatically
revert to volume control mode after a short time period if any other menus have been selected.
To scroll through the other menus, simply use the rotary control as a
push-button. Each single button
push will take you from one menu to the next, rotating through Treb>Bass>Aux-In>Vol and back to the
“Treb” treble control.
Treble: To adjust the treble on the ZK500, use
the rotary control as a push-button to scroll through the
menus until the “Treb” menu is displayed on the LCD screen. Turn the rotary control knob clockwise to

the menus until the “Bass” menu
is displayed on the LCD screen. Turn the rotary control knob
clockwise to increase bass and counterclockwise to reduce bass.
Auxiliary Input: To enable the auxiliary input on the ZK500, an external devic
e must be plugged into the
1/8” stereo auxiliary input on the back of the unit. Use the rotary control as a push-button and scroll
through the menus until “Aux-In” is displayed. Turn th
e rotary control clockwise to enable the auxiliary
input. When the auxiliary is enabled, the system menu will display “ON”. Turn the rotary control counter-
clockwise to disable the auxiliary inpu
t and return to Zune device mode. When the auxiliary input is
disabled, the system menu will display “--”.

To co nnect an external video display to the ZK500, make sure the video output is enabled on your Zune

WARNING: KICKER products are capable of producing sound levels that can permanently damage your hearing!
Turning up a system to a level that has audible distortion is more damaging to your ears than listening to an
undistorted system at the same volume level. The threshold of pain is always an indicator that the sound level is too
loud and may permanently damage your hearing. Please use common sense when controlling volume.
GARANTÍA INTERNACIONAL VersiónEspañol
Comuníquese con su concesionario o distribuidor KICKER internacional para obtener
infor ación sobre procedimientos
específicos relacionados con las normas de garantía de su país.
ADVERTENCIA: Los excitadores KICKER son capaces de producir niveles de sonido que
pueden dañar
permanentemente el oído. Subir el volumen del sistema hasta un nivel que produzca distorsión es más dañino para el
oído que escuchar un sistema sin distorsión al mismo volumen. El dolor es siempre una indicación de que el sonido es
muy fuerte y que puede dañar permanentemente el oído. Sea precavido cuando controle el volumen.

WARNUNG: KICKER-Treiber können einen Schallpegel erzeugen, der zu perm
anenten Gehörschäden führen kann!
Wenn Sie ein System auf einen Pegel stellen, der hörbare Verzerrungen erzeugt, schadet das Ihren Ohren mehr, als ein
nicht verzerrtes System auf dem gleichen Lautstärkepegel. Die Schmerzschwelle ist immer eine Anzeige dafür, dass
der Schallpegel zu laut ist und zu permanenten Gehörschäden führen kann. Seien Sie bei der Lautstärkeeinstellung
bitte vernünftig!

AVERTISSEMENT: Les haut-parleurs KICKER ont la capacité de produire des niveaux sonores pouvant endommager
l'ouïe de façon irréversible ! L'augmentation du volume d'un système jusqu'à un niveau présentant une distorsio
n
audible endommage davantage l'ouïe que l'écoute d'un système sans distorsion au même volume. Le seuil de la
douleur est toujours le signe que le niveau sonore est trop élevé et risque d'endomm
ager l'ouïe de façon irréversible.
Réglez le volume en faisant prevue de bon sens !
L'expression " carburant pour vivre plein pot " fait référence au dynamisme de la marque KICKER d'équipements
audio pour véhicules
et a pour but d'encourager nos clients à faire le maximum (" vivre plein pot ") dans tous les
aspects de leur vie. Les haut-parleurs et amplificateurs KICKER sont les meilleurs dans le domaine des équipements
audio et représentent donc pour nos client le " carburant pour vivre plein pot " dans l'aspect " installation audio de
véhicule " de leur vie. Nous encourageons tous nos clients à respecter toutes les lois et réglementations locales
relatives aux niveaux sonores acceptables à l'extérieur des véhicules.
