INSTALLATION

1. 12-pin Watertight Harness

The 12-pin harness supplies power and ground connections to the Digital Media Locker and four (4)

speaker channel output connections from the Digital Media Locker.

Do not cut or modify the 12-pin harness on the Locker side or warranty will be void.

2. FM Radio Antenna Jack

Connect antenna (AQ-ANT-1 sold separately) to female antenna receptacle. For best FM

performance make sure the antenna is extended to the highest achievable position.

3. Auxiliary Outputs

Allows external amplifiers to be connected to power additional speakers.

4. 12V DC External Trigger

Allows for an external light or relay to be triggered (350mA max load).

5. Backlighting 12V DC input (orange)

Allow to connect to an external 12V DC, light up LED backlight.



12-PIN HARNESS CONNECTION

The AQ-DM-5UBT includes the universal harness AQ-UNH-2 in order to connect the

dock to power and speakers.

All open wire connections should be soldered and protected against water and dust for best long term

performance.



MOUNTING THE UNIT

1. Mounting templates is included. Aquatic

AV recommends using the ‘measure twice, cut

once’ method.

2. Once the mounting hole is complete, make

sure the outside surface is clean and clear

of debris. The Digital Media Locker has an

external water/dust proof gasket, but this

requires a clean surface for best performance.



3. The Digital Media Locker has six (6) front

screws. Drive the screws using a screw driver.

During final mounting apply equal pressure

to all points for the best water/dust outer seal

performance.



4. Review all outside surfaces of the Digital

Media Locker to ensure proper water/dust seal.

This is important for long term environmental

protection performance for your digital media

device.

REMOTE BATTERY INSTALL

Remove the RF Wireless Remote control from the Digital Media Locker. Unscrew the

waterproof cap on the back of the remote control. Place the CR-2430 battery in the RF

Remote control and replace the water/dust proof cap.

POWER ON

Press the on/off button. Standby will be indicated by a red LED and ON by a blue LED.

For applications that require low current draw and where battery drain may occur, the power button

must be turned OFF. When the power button is in the OFF position the red LED will not be lit.

For applications where a 12V battery is not used, such as in a Spa, the power button can be left ON

and the remote control can then be used to power on/off accordingly.





If the pairing process is not effective, switch the locker off using the on/off button located

inside the door of the dock. Unplug the 12-pin Harness on the back of the Locker for 3minutes.

Reattach the Harness and repeat steps 1-6 above.

If the LCD displays “NO LINK” in either mode, this means the remote is out of reception

range. Move the remote closer to the Locker and try again.
