1. Safety Precautions

Before using the Marine Remote Commander System, please read and follow these safety precautions:

• Do not operate any function that takes your attention away from safely driving your boat. Any function that requires your prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete stop. Always stop the boat in a safe location before performing these functions to avoid accidents.
• Halt use immediately if a problem appears. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or damage to the product. Return it to your authorized Alpine dealer or the nearest Alpine Service Center for replacing.

• Do not connect a power supply other than a DC 12V negative ground type. Failure to do so may result in an accident or fire.
• Keep small objects such as bolts or screws out of the reach of children. Swallowing them may result in serious injury. If swallowed, consult a physician immediately.
