Important Safety Information
Failure to follow these warnings and cautions could result in
personal injury, damage to the vessel, or poor product
performance.
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
This device must be installed according to these instructions.
Disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning to install
this product.
Before applying power to this product, make sure it has been
correctly grounded, following the instructions in the guide.
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles,
ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or
sanding.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Do not use the stereo as a template when drilling the mounting
holes because this may damage the glass display and void the
warranty. You must only use the included template to correctly
drill the mounting holes.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the

WARNING
CAUTION
NOTICE
drop cable
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be
exposed to water, you must add a drip loop to the cable to
allow water to drip off of the cable and avoid damage to the
stereo.
• If you need to mount the stereo on the outside of the boat,
you must mount it in a location far above the waterline, where
it is not submerged, and where it cannot be damaged by
docks, pilings, or other pieces of equipment.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, you should
mount the stereo at least 15 cm (5.9 in.) away from a
compass.
Mounting the Stereo
Do not use the stereo as a template when drilling the mounting
holes because this may damage the glass display and void the
warranty. You must only use the included template to correctly
drill the mounting holes.
Be careful when cutting the hole to mount the stereo. There is
only a small amount of clearance between the case and the
mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could
compromise the stability of the stereo after it is mounted.
Be careful when installing the stereo in an aluminum boat or a
boat with a conductive hull, if you require the electrical system to
be isolated from the boat hull.
Do not apply grease or lubricant to the screws when fastening
the stereo to the mounting surface. Grease or other lubricants
can cause damage to the stereo housing.
Before you can mount the stereo in a new location on the
mounting surface, you must select a location in accordance with
the mounting considerations.
1
Adhere the template to the mounting surface.
2
Drill a hole inside the corner of the dashed line on the
template.
3
Cut the mounting surface
line on the template.
4
Ensure the mounting holes on the stereo line up with the pilot
holes on the template.
5
Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface
and screw type, drill the pilot holes.
6
Remove the template from the mounting surface.
7 Complete an action:
• If you are installing the stereo in a dry location, place the
included mounting gasket
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that is exposed
to water, apply silicone-based marine sealant on the
mounting surface around the cutout.
