Important Safety Information
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 vehicle's or vessel's power supply before
beginning to install this device.
To maintain ignition protection compliance in accordance with
SAE J1171, you must replace the fuse only with a J1171
compliant fuse.
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100 dBA
may cause permanent hearing loss. The volume is typically too
loud if you cannot hear people speaking around you. Limit the
amount of time you listen at high volume. If you experience
ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening and have
your hearing checked.
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.
This device is designed for a 12 Vdc power source. Connecting
to a 24 Vdc or larger power source may damage the device.
It is strongly recommended that you have your audio system
installed by a professional installer to ensure optimum
performance.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, go

Mounting Considerations
In high ambient temperatures and after extended use, the
device enclosure may reach temperatures deemed dangerous
to touch. Therefore the device must be installed in a location
where it will not be touched during operation.
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed
to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range
for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature
range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device
failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related
consequences are not covered by the warranty.
This device is designed for installation only in a dry location.
Installing this device in a location where it may come in contact
with water or become submerged may result in damage. Water
damage is not covered by the warranty.
• The device must be mounted in a location that does not
interfere with the fuel tank or electrical wiring.
• The device must be mounted in a location where it is not
exposed to water.
• The device must be mounted in a location with adequate
ventilation where it is not exposed to extreme temperatures.
• If the device is mounted in an enclosed space, you should
install a cooling fan with appropriate ducts to aid in airflow.
• The device should be mounted so that the cables can be
connected easily.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device
should be installed at least 50 cm (20 in.) away from a
compass.
• The device should not be mounted in close proximity to other
navigation-critical equipment, antennas, or radio-
communication equipment on the vessel.
Mounting the SG-DA82000 Signature Series Device
If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the
pilot holes, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a
clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This
will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws
are tightened.
NOTE: Screws are included with the device, but they may not
be suitable for the mounting surface.
Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting
location and determine what screws and other mounting
hardware are needed for the surface.
1
Place the device in the mounting location and mark the
location of the pilot holes.
2
Drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.
3
Loosely fasten the device to the mounting surface with one
corner and examine the other three pilot-hole marks.
4
Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary, and remove the
device from the mounting surface.
5
Drill the remaining pilot holes.
6
Secure the device to the mounting location.
