Installation

Do not install the dongle/RF receiver in enclosed metal parts, as this may interfere with connectivity between it and the remote. Remote Battery: 3V CR2025 (use only the approved battery)
Connect the KMLC LED pig-tail (left) to the KMLC LED dongle (right). The dongle is keyed and will only ﬁ t when oriented properly. To prevent battery discharge, install a switch on the RED KMLC power wire so you can turn off the KMLC’s remote receiver when the boat is stored.
KICKER KMLC LED Lighting Remote - Installation

You can use the remote turn-on lead from the head unit to trigger a relay. However, do not connect the KMLC power wire directly to the head unit power wire; it pulls more current than a typical turn-on circuit provides.
You can also use the stereo’s rocker-style power switch on the dash, if equipped, to turn the KMLC controller on and off.
You can also simply install a toggle or rocker switch in a convenient location.
Do not wire your KMLC’s power wire into your navigational lighting circuit. Depending on USCG or local laws, it may be inappropriate or illegal to be showing navigation lights and accent lighting.

Connect all KM and KMLC LED pig-tail wires together according to color. Each LED pig-tail will have Green, Red, Blue, and Black wires. Splice every green wire together, every red wire together et al. Test for functionality with the remote. Troubleshoot beginning with power and LED wiring. If problems persist, test with one speaker to ensure the KMLC is functioning properly.
