[. . . ] Never allow a spark or open flame to come into proximity of a battery; explosion may result. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. No user serviceable parts inside, refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Service by persons other than Fender authorized service technicians may void the warranty. Jewelry and Metal Objects/Materials Exercise care when operating or connecting a battery. Never allow loose jewelry, rings, chains or other conductive materials to come into contact with the battery terminals. Remove rings when using wrenches to work in proximity to any battery power source. SETTING UP THE DC/DC CONVERTER Set up your Passport System in the normal way taking care to follow all of the usual procedures for safety and optimum performance. Place the DC/DC Converter near the battery and move the Passport as far away from the battery as the cables will allow. Be sure to place the DC/DC Converter out of direct sunlight in an open but shaded location. Make sure the On / Off switch on both the DC/DC Converter and the Passport are in the Off position. 1) Connect the DC/DC Converter's 4 pin Molex 48volt DC/DC plug into the connector located on rear of the Passport Tower. It is advisable to use a free standing battery or back up battery to avoid this occurrence. During tests using a musical program on a new fully charged, stand alone 105 amp/hour battery, continuous operation in excess of 48 hours has been observed. For an outdoor sporting event with periodic announcements, a fully charged, stand alone 48 amp/ hour battery may provide 12 to 18 hours of use. Remember, these are estimates only and your specific circumstances will vary battery life significantly. For your first event, you may want to take a back up battery using your primary battery until the event ends or the battery charge is depleted. Be sure to note the battery life used for future reference. PASSPORT / PASSPORT 150 TOWER FUSE INSTALLATION Your DC/DC Converter is supplied with two (2) 10 amp fuses.
