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.

•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.

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.
2.Using the shortest length of the recommended size screws possible, mount the tuner/ amplifier as detailed in the diagram on the right.
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.
STAINLESS STEEL #8 SCREWS (INCLUDED)
1/8” PILOT HOLES FOR SUPPLIED SELF-STARTING SCRWS

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.
