Getting Started
1.4. Mounting the Digital Media Locker
1. A mounting template 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 and flat 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. make sure
screws
arB snug and do not over tighten.
4. Review all outside surfaces of the Digi-
tal Media Locker
to ensure proper water/
dust seal. This is important for long term
environmental protection performance for
your digital media device.
1.5 Bluetooth Antenna Installation
1. Screw on the provided Bluetooth Antenna,
avoiding bending the cable
at a goo angle.
2. Install the Bluetooth antenna
as high as
possible, above the waterline of the spa if possible,
and making sure the arrow is pointing directly
upwards towards the sky to ensure the Bluetooth
range is maximized.
If there is no suitable surface
to screw
it in, we recommend using a good quality
double sided tape.
