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.

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.

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 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.

WEATHER BAND OPERATION

What is the NOAA Weather Radio/Weatheradio Canada?

NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is a nationwide system that
broadcasts local weather emergency information 24 hours a day via the National Weather
Service (NWS) network. The U.S. network has more than 530 stations covering the 50
states as well as the adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the
U.S. Pacific Territories. Each local area has its own transmitting station and there are a total
of seven broadcasting frequencies used. A similar system is available in Canada under the
Weatheradio Canada service administered by Environment Canada.

Tuning to Weatherband

Press the WB soft button to access the Weatherband. The indication "WB" will appear on the
display panel, along with the current number and channel indication: "WB-1", “WB-2",
"WB-3", "WB-4", "WB-5", "WB-6" or "WB-7". The seven frequencies are shown in the
following table:

Under normal conditions the unit will automatically tune to the strongest station in the area
within 10 seconds.

Manual Tuning

Press the Tune soft button and use the |<< or >>| soft buttons to adjust station tuning
step-by-step.

LIST
Press the LIST soft button to display the preset list.
Recall a Station

Rotate the Encoder Knob to navigate the preset list and highlight the desired preset
memory location. Press the Encoder Knob to select and tune to the corresponding stored
station. Note that the presets are assigned and cannot be changed by the user

How many stations can I expect to receive?

Since the broadcasts are local weather and information, the transmission power is usually
very low (much less than standard AM or FM stations) so you will usually receive only one
station unless you are on the edge of two or more broadcast signals. The most you will
receive will be two or three, and that is rare.

Is it possible I won't receive any stations?

Depending on where you are located, there is a possibility you will receive only a very weak
signal or none at all. Also, similar to AM and FM signals, weatherband signals are subject to
surrounding conditions, weather, obstructions of the signal by hills or mountains, etc.
