Important Notes on the Use of Remote Control
GETTING STARTED
Power ON Button
TM
To activate the Digital Media Locker , press the on/off button. On will be
indicated by a RED LED.
TM
For applications where normal Digital Media Locker operation requires an
independent 12V battery (Boat, RV), power down the AQ-DM-1R via the RF
remote control. This will insure against independent battery drain. Other
applications using 12V power converters are compatible with the AQ-DM-1R.
RF Wireless Remote Control Synchronizing
If you loose your remote control and buy another new remote control, please follow the
above to start pairing before normal usage.
Always ensure to connect and disconnect your media player
with dry hands.
MHz
EXT
TM
Each Digital Media Locker comes with a matching RF Wireless LCD Remote
control to maximize wireless performance. For all newly purchased remote
controls, you will need to activate/Synchroize those remote controls to the
AQ-DM-1R by following the steps below:
a. Press and hold the button (Memory) on the remote control and then
press the Power button simultaneously for 2 seconds.
The LCD will display "Pair".
TM
b. Turn on the Digital Media Locker by pressing the power button on the
AQ-DM-1R within 10 seconds after the remote is paired.
(A Red LED light will turn on under the power button to indicate the unit is
turned on.)
c. Once synchronizing is complete, the LCD will return to the
original screen setting.
MHz
EXT
Once the mounting hole is complete, make sure
the outside surface is clear of debris. The
AQ-DM-1R has an external water/dust proof
gasket, but it needs a clean surface for best
performance.
2.
Mounting templates are included. Aquatic Av
recommends to utilize the "measure twice, cut
once" Method.
1.
Review all outside surfaces of the AQ-DM-1R to insure proper water/dust
seal. This is important for the long term environmental protection
performance for iPod or MP3 devices.
4.
The AQ-DM-1R has six (6) front loading mounting
points with "smart locking" Media Locker clamps.
Each will deploy as you begin the installation.
During final mounting, apply equal pressure to
all points for best water/dust outer seal performance.
3.
After the installation is complete, install the finishing covers over the
stainless screws with silicone. We recommend a marine grade silicone as
an adhesive.
