Connect Power

The receiver requires a 10-16 volts DC (VDC)
power input supporting 50 watts (4.2 amps @
12 VDC).
1. Before you connect the receiver's power
wires, turn off vessel power and test the
circuit to ensure no power is present.
2. Connect the receiver's individual power
wires to a dedicated 10-amp or 15-amp
circuit breaker. Connect the negative (black)
wire to ground (power return), and connect
the positive (red) wire to +12 VDC vessel
power.
3. Plug the other end of the power wires into
the "Vehicle Power" jack on the receiver's
rear panel. Do not remove the small ferrite coil
that is clamped onto the power wires. This coil
suppresses EMI (electromagnetic interference)
from the receiver.
