See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the stereo box for product warnings and other important information.

NOTICE

This device does not contain any user-serviceable parts.
Unauthorized repairs or modifications could result in permanent damage to the equipment and void your warranty and your authority to operate this device.

Installation

Tools and Hardware Needed

Mounting Considerations

You should select a mounting location that allows the best range
for Bluetooth® audio streaming.

Select a dry location with a flat mounting surface that has no direct exposure to water droplets or spray.
To avoid interference, select an elevated mounting location away from metalwork.
Mount the BT100 device within 10 m (33 ft.) of your Bluetooth device.
For the best range, select a mounting location that has no barriers between the BT100 device and your Bluetooth device.
Ensure the provided 1.5 m (5 ft.) wiring harness extends from the mounting location to your stereo.
To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, do not install the device closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.
To avoid interference with navigational and radio communications equipment (for example, VHF radio), do not install the BT100 device near such equipment.

Mounting

WARNING

Before you install any equipment, disconnect the vessel’s power supply. Remove the lead from the battery. Investigate the location of the vessel’s fuel tanks and electrical wires. Protect wires to prevent damage.

Mounting with the Adhesive

You can mount the device using the adhesive.

Clean the mounting surface with an alcohol swab.
Remove the backing from the adhesive on the back of the BT100 device.

Mounting with a Screw

You can mount the device using a screw instead of the adhesive.

Drill a pilot hole in the mounting surface.
