1.2 Connections
Getting Started Digital Media Locker AQ-DM-5
3www.aquaticav.com

The AQ-DM-5 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.
1.3 12-pin Harness Connection
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 exter-
nal 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 per-
formance. Make sure screws are snug and do
not over tighten.
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.
