Setup Instructions
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all items from the packaging. The package typically includes the amplifier board, knobs, screws, and copper pillars for assembly.
- Assemble the Casing (if applicable): If your amplifier board came with a DIY casing, assemble it using the provided screws and copper pillars. Ensure all components are securely fitted.
- Connect Speakers: Connect your passive speakers to the designated left and right channel output terminals. Ensure correct polarity (+ and -) for each speaker. The amplifier supports 4-8Ω speakers with power ratings between 30-200W.
- Connect Power Supply: Connect a DC 12-24V / 5A or higher power adapter to the DC 12-24V power input port (5.5*2.1mm DC plug). Do not use a 24V battery pack directly. Ensure the power supply is sufficient for the amplifier's working power.
- Connect Audio Input (Optional):
- For AUX input, connect your audio source (e.g., smartphone, MP3 player) to the AUX-IN port using a standard 3.5mm audio cable.
- For Bluetooth input, ensure no AUX cable is connected and proceed to the operating instructions for pairing.
- Install Knobs: Place the treble, bass, and volume control knobs onto their respective shafts on the amplifier board.

Operating Instructions
- Power On: Once all connections are secure, plug in the power adapter. The amplifier board will power on automatically.
- Volume Adjustment: Use the rightmost knob labeled 'VOL' to adjust the overall volume level. Turn clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease.
- Treble Adjustment: Use the leftmost knob labeled 'TREBLE' to adjust the high-frequency response. Turn clockwise for more treble, counter-clockwise for less.
- Bass Adjustment: Use the middle knob labeled 'BASS' to adjust the low-frequency response. Turn clockwise for more bass, counter-clockwise for less.
- Bluetooth Pairing:
- Ensure no AUX cable is connected to the amplifier.
- On your Bluetooth device (e.g., smartphone), enable Bluetooth and search for available devices.
- Select 'ZK-1002MT' from the list to pair. A confirmation sound may indicate successful pairing.
- Once paired, you can stream audio wirelessly from your device.
- AUX Input Usage: If an AUX cable is connected, the amplifier will automatically switch to AUX input. Disconnect the AUX cable to enable Bluetooth mode.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the amplifier board. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Environment: Operate the amplifier in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight.
- Heat Dissipation: Ensure the heat sink (visible on the board) is not obstructed to allow for proper cooling. Adequate airflow is crucial for stable operation.
- Connections: Periodically check all connections (power, speakers, audio cables) to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No sound output | Incorrect speaker connection; insufficient power supply; volume too low; incorrect input mode. | Check speaker polarity and connections. Ensure power supply meets 12-24V/5A requirements. Increase volume. Verify correct input (Bluetooth/AUX). |
| Low or distorted sound | Insufficient power supply current/voltage; speaker impedance mismatch; audio source volume too low. | Ensure power supply is 5A or more and within 12-24V. Use speakers within 4-8Ω. Increase volume on the audio source device. |
| Bluetooth pairing failure | AUX cable connected; device too far; Bluetooth not enabled on source; amplifier not in pairing mode. | Disconnect AUX cable. Ensure device is within 15 meters. Enable Bluetooth on your device. Restart amplifier and try pairing again. |
| Overheating | Poor ventilation; excessive load. | Ensure adequate airflow around the heat sink. Reduce volume or speaker load if operating at maximum capacity for extended periods. |
