User Guide

Important

• Please read this User Guide before installation and use.
• CAUTION: The power input voltage range for your Audio
• Rocker Switch Remote Control (referred to as Switch} is 9V to 16V. It is designed to work with a +12V DC battery power supply.
• If your vehicle battery power output is not 12V (e.g., 24 V, 36V, or 48V), you will need a voltage converter with 12V output (e.g., a 48V-to-12V converter). Connecting the Switch directly to higher voltages will cause  damage to your device and VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
• The Switch is capable of handling switching power with current loads up to 20A at 12VDC. Don’t connect it to a device with operating current exceeding 20A.
• The Switch has a Remote Turn-On Output feature; this is an optional connection. When the Switch is turned on, it outputs a 12V signal, which can be used to control the Remote Turn-On Input on many  SoundExtreme products, including our marine radios, and amplified tower speakers (sold separately).
• The Switch has a built-in RF remote transmitter, which is designed to pair with and control Sound Extreme sound bars, marine radios, and amplified tower speakers (sold separately).
• The Switch fits in a standard Carling rocker switch opening, which is commonly used in the dashboard of many off-road vehicles, boats, and golf cars. The Switch panel is waterproof; however, the housing behind the panel is only splash proof
• CAUTION: In order to make sure there is no potential damage to your audio system, unplug or power off your audio equipment until after all connections are completed.

Installation and Wiring

Installing Your Switch Onto Your Vehicle
The Switch is designed to snap into a standard Carling style rocker switch opening.

• If you already have that style of an opening on your vehicle, you can simply snap the Switch into place.
• If your vehicle doesn’t already have that style of an opening, you will need to cut a rectangular hole into your vehicle. Before you cut, please refer to the dimensions under the Specifications section to determine the cutout size.

Connecting to an External Speaker
If you want to provide power to and control an external Sound Extreme product’s power on and off feature, you will need to connect it to the Switch’s Accessory Power Outputs and Remote Turn-On Ouput.

Accessory Power Outputs

Connect the Switch’s Accessory Power Outputs ( +12V and GND} to the power inputs on the SoundExtreme product you want to control.

• Make sure that the Switch’s RED +12V Wire is connected to the SoundExtreme product’s RED Wire and the Switch’s BLACK GND Wire is connected to the SoundExtreme product’s BLACK Wire.

Remote Turn-On Output

Besides the 12V power supply, the Switch has an optional Remote Turn-On Signal Output to turn on and power off the Sound Extreme product you want to control. The output voltage is 12V.
If your SoundExreme product has a Remote Turn-On Input, follow the steps below:

1. Connect the Switch’s (Dark Blue) Remote Turn-On Output Wire to the Sound Extreme products Remote Turn-On Input. You may need an extension cable (not included).
2. Once the connections are completed, the Sound Extreme product will automatically turn on or off when the Switch is turned on or off.

Connecting to 12VDC Power Supply
When you install the Switch to a battery or a voltage regulator on a golf cart, a boat, a quad bike, a UTV, or another vehicle, you need to make sure that your vehicle battery or battery pack terminal voltage is 12VDC. If the battery terminal voltage is not 12V, you will need a DC-DC converter with output 12V. Connecting the Switch to a non-12VDC power source will lead to a malfunction or damage to the Switch.
Recommendation: If you are not familiar with all of the vehicle’s battery or ignition switch connections, consult your vehicle’s manual or a technician. Incorrect connections to your vehicle’s battery or ignition signal terminal may cause damage to your speaker and your vehicle.

Connect the +12V and GND wires to the 12VDC power supply.

• Make sure that the RED Wire is connected to +12V battery’s positive ( +) terminal and the BLACK Wire is connected to battery’s negative (-) terminal.

WARNING! Only connect to a 12V power supply. Do NOT connect to a 24 V, 36V, or 48V power supply. Connecting the Switch directly to these higher voltages will cause damage to the Switch and VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY.
