This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The Bluetooth antenna cannot be removed (or replaced) by user. This equipment complies with FCC/ IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This equipment has very low levels of RF energy that is deemed to comply without maximum permissive exposure (MPE) evaluation. But it is desirable that it should be installed and operated keeping the radiator at least 20 cm or more away from the person’s body (excluding extremities: hands, wrists, feet and ankles). Alteration or modifications carried out without appropriate authorization may invalidate the user’s right to operate the equipment.

NOTE:

These limits are de­signed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residen­tial installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guar­antee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Relocate or reorient the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

BEFORE INSTALLING THIS PRODUCT

To avoid potential shorts in the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the (-) bat­tery cable before installation. Use this unit with a 12-Volt battery and negative ground­ing only. Failure to do so may result in a fire or malfunction.

When replacing the fuse, be sure to only use a fuse of the rating specified on this product. To avoid short-circuiting, cover any disconnected leads with insulating tape. It is especially important to insulate any unused wires, which if left uncovered may cause a short circuit. When connecting other devices to this product, refer to the manual for the product to be connected. The black cable is ground, make sure to connect the ground wire first. Ensure that the ground wire is properly connected to metal parts of the vehicle’s body frame or directly to the battery if your vehicle does not have a grounded chassis frame. The ground wire of this unit’s power amp and a second powered system must be connected to the frame separately with different screws. If the screw for the ground wire loosens or falls out, it could result in fire or malfunction.

SPEAKER MOUNTING SUGGESTIONS

TOOLS NEEDED:

• 12mm Socket, Wrench, or Pliers
• 6mm Allen Wrench

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Hand Tools Required:

• 3/16″ Hex Key and Bit Socket
• 5/32″ Hex Key and Bit Socket
• Torque Wrench (in/lbs or nM)
• Thread Lock Compound

STEP 1: Removing the top half of the clamp

Using the 3/16″ Hex key, remove the top clamp bolts, and note the Caution labels for correct torque settings later.

STEP 2: To adjust the speaker position

• If the speaker position is not to be changed, remove the screws and apply the thread locker compound. Using the 5/32″ hex bit socket, torque swivel screws to 44 in/lbs (5nM).
• To change the speaker position, use the 5/32″ hex key and remove the screws.
• Note: the orientation of the screws must remain in the 12 and 6 o’clock positions after moving the bottom clamp to the desired position.

STEP 3: Swivel screws

STEP 4: Securing clamp bolts

Using the correct rubber pads (labeled for O.D.) install them on both the top and bottom half of the clamps. Apply thread locker compound to the bolts. Hand-tighten the bolts evenly (both sides should have the same spacing between bolts). Using the 3/16• Hex bit socket, set the torque wrench to 65 in/lbs (7nM).

STEP 5: Security rope

Loop the rope around the base of the clamp and bar, and secure it with the supplied hardware.
