The AQ-DM-5BT 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.
1.4 Mounting the Digital Media Locker
No lower than a 2 Ohm load should be used
or damage may occur to the Digital Media
Locker.
Make sure the polarity of speakers are
connected correctly.
Power Antenna (7)
Fuse Box
No lower than a 2 Ohm load should be used
or damage may occur to the Digital Media
Locker.
Make sure the polarity of speakers are
connected correctly.

1.7 Remote Control Synchronizing for AQ-RFDM-5BT (optional)
1. Connect the RF Remote Receiever and 8-pin DIN Remote Receiver Cable together.
2. Turn the Digital Media Locker to OFF mode with the power button inside the door. The
LED should not be illuminated.
3. Press the red (POWER) button on the remote.
4. Press and hold the (MODE) button until the LCD reads PAIR.
5. Continue to press and hold the (MODE) button during step 5 below.
6. Turn the docking station to standby mode (within 10 seconds) with the on/off button
inside door (the red LED will illuminate and then turn blue).
7. The remote’s LCD should read WELCOME and then display mode position BT AUDIO or
AUX IN.
For any additional remote controls, you will also need to activate/synchronize those remote con-
trols by following the steps above.
If the pairing process is not effective, switch the locker off using the on/off button located inside the door of the dock.
Unplug the 12-pin Harness on the back of the Locker for 3 minutes. Reattach the Harness and repeat steps 1-6 above.
If the pairing process is not effective, check the battery voltage. If above 3V DC refer to section 1.5 above top make
sure the battery is installed correctly. If battery voltage is below 3V DC replace the battery.
If you lose your remote control and purchase another new remote control, please follow the above to start pairing before
normal usage.
Press the on/off button inside the dock.
Red Light: Power to the docking station is ON, but the unit is in standby mode.
Blue Light: The unit is powered ON and looking for an audio source.
For applications that require low current draw and where battery drain may occur, the power but-
ton must be turned OFF inside the unit. When the power button is in the OFF position the red
LED will not be lit.
For applications where a 12V battery is not used, such as in a Spa, the power button can be left
ON and the remote control or door controls can then be used to power on/off accordingly.
