SAFETY INFORMATION

When Boating
Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of your surroundings.

Protect from Water
Do not submerge the product in water, as this can cause electric shorts, fire or other damage.

Protect from the Elements
Use the included cover to protect the wired commander from sunlight, dust, and water while not in use.

Protect from High Temperatures
Do not mount radio within close proximity of engine compartment.

Use the Proper Power Supply
This product is designed to operate with a 12 volt DC negative ground battery system.

CAUTION: DO NOT OPEN COVERS AND DO NOT REPAIR BY YOURSELF. PLEASE REFER SERVICING TO A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK AND INTERFERENCE, USE ONLY THE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES.

INSTALLATION

Before You Begin
Always disconnect the negative battery terminal

Important Notes

• Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected properly and the system works.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications to your vessel.
• Install the unit where it does not interfere with operating the vessel and cannot injure passengers.
• Use the included template to cut the installation opening.

Commander Cover

• During storage, use the included cover to prolong the life of your device by protecting the wired commander from direct sunlight, moisture, dust, and other elements.

Wired Commander Mounting

• Choose a mounting area for the wired commander that is clean and flat, allowing the rear gasket to fully seal to the mounting surface.
• Secure the wired commander using either of the recommended mounting methods detailed below.

Bracket Mount

• Insert wired commander through cut-out and secure with bracket using included hardware as detailed in the diagram.

Screw Mount

• Secure the wired commander to the mounting surface using #6 stainless steel pan head screws (not included) as detailed in the diagram.

Removing the Unit
To remove the commander, remove bracket mount or remove trim ring and mounting screws, then slide wired commander out of the mounting hole.

Removing the Trim Ring (Screw Mount Only)

Before removing the mounting screws, remove the trim ring first. Using a small non-metallic panel removal tool, apply the flat edge of the tool to the trim ring top latch area (as shown). Pull forward and twist to disengage the latches. Note: Use a protective surface under the removal tool so as not to damage the mounting surface. Tuner / Amplifier Module Mounting

1. Choose a mounting area for the tuner/amplifier module that will provide plenty of ventilation to prevent the amplifier from overheating. The tuner/amplifier module can be mounted in the horizontal or vertical position. Please note that when mounting in vertical position, do not mount with the harness exit points facing straight up, as water can collect around the chassis in these areas.
2. Using the shortest length of the recommended size screws possible, mount the tuner/ amplifier as detailed in the diagram on the below.
3. Route the tuner/amplifier harness and cable throughout the vessel as required. Keep some slack in the harness/cables so it won’t be too tight, as this can cause damage to the wires.
4. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure with insulated crimp connectors to ensure proper operation.
5. After completing the wiring connections, reconnect the negative terminal on the battery and turn the unit on to confirm operation (vessel accessory switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, disconnect battery, recheck all wiring and refer to the trouble-shooting guide located in the back of the manual.
