12-PIN HARNESS
The AQ-DM-4 will require a 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.
MOUNTING THE UNIT
1. Mounting templates are included. Aquatic AV recommends
1. using the ‘measure twice, cut once’ method.
2. Once the mounting hole is complete, make sure the outside
2. surface is clean and clear of debris. The Digital Media
2.Locker™has an external water/dust proof gasket, but this
2. requires a clean surface for best performance.
3. The Digital Media Locker™has six(6) front screws. Drive
2.the 6 screws using a screw driver. During final mounting,
3.apply equal pressure to all points for the best water/dust
3..outer seal performance.
4. Review all outside surfaces of the Digital Media Locker™to
4. ensure proper water/dust seal. This is important for long
4.term environmental protection performance for iPod or MP3
4. devices.
