device may affect the operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off this unit and other BLUETOOTH devices in the following locations, as it may cause an accident.

– where inflammable gas is present, in a

hospital, train, airplane, or petrol station

– near automatic doors or a fire alarm

 This unit supports security capabilities that

comply with the BLUETOOTH standard to provide a secure connection when the BLUETOOTH wireless technology is used, but security may not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when communicating using BLUETOOTH wirel ess technology.

Connection/Installation

Cautions

•Run all ground (earth) leads to a common ground (earth) point.

•Do not get the leads trapped under a screw, or caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).

• Before making connections, turn the boat’s ignition off to avoid short circuits.

•Connect the yellow and red power supply leads only after all other leads have been connected.

•Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads with electrical tape for safety.

• Choose the installation location carefully so that the unit will not interfere with normal boating or car driving operations.

• Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.

•Select carefully the mounting location to avoid internal damage by water entering the unit. Areas subject to water splashes should be avoided. The Waterproof Car Stereo Cover (not supplied) is recommended.

• Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a safe and secure installation.

Note on the power supply lead (yellow)

When connecting this unit in combination with other stereo components, the amperage rating of the boat circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher than the sum of each component’s fuse ampe rage rating.

Note on installing in boats with a start-stop system

The unit may restart when starting the engine from start-stop. In this case, turn off the start-stop system of your boat.

Mounting angle adjustment

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 30°.
