1.5 Power On
The AQ-BC-6UBT requires +12V dc to both the red and yellow wires. When both of these wires have power,
the AQ-BC-6UBT is always powered on and is indicated by a red LED coming out of the heatsink of the
stereo. Ground is connected to the Black wire.
In a SPA application, this requires the red and yellow wires to be jumped together and tehn connected to
+12V dc output of the power source. In this set up, the AQ-BC-6UBT will always be on, with a very low
current draw when idle.
In a bot, ATV or other application requiring power from a battery, the yellow wire (constant power) should be
connected to the battery, and the red wire connected to the ignition or a switch.

1.6 Handheld Remote Control Charging
The remote has a built-in Polymer Lithium rechargeable battery. It comes with a custom made charging
cable which is used. Connect one end to the blades of the remote control and another to any USB charger
(5V dc) for charging.
Make sure the remote has been charged before used.
1.7 Handheld Remote Control Synchronizing
The remote should already be paired from the factory, but if you need to synchronize the remote, follow
below steps.
1. Make sure BlueCube+ Media Player (AQ-BC-6UBT) is powered ON (red LED lit)
2. Put the remote close to the BlueCube+ Media Player (within 0.5 meter)
2. Press and hold MODE on remote control until the LCD shows "Pairing in Progress". Release the button.
3. WIthin 2 seconds, the LCD will show "Paired". If it fails to pair, the LCD will show "Retry again". If this
happens, wait 5 seconds and repeat the above procedures.
For any additional remote controls, you will also need to synchroize those remote controls to the BlueCube
Media Player (AQ-BC-6UBT).
If the pairing process is not successful, try again to put your remote close to the dongle.
Depending on the frequency of usage, the remote might drain its battery. Please charge the remote before
use. If the LCD shows nothing, it means that the battery has been drained.
If you have lost your remote control and buy a new remote control, please follow the above steps to pair the
remote control
