MOUNTING THE UNIT
1. Mounting templates 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 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.

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.

waterproof cap on the back of the remote control. Place the CR-2430 battery in the RF
Remote control and replace the water/dust proof cap.
POWER ON
Press the on/off button. Standby will be indicated by a red LED and ON by a blue LED.
For applications that require low current draw and where battery drain may occur, the power button
must be turned OFF. 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 can then be used to power on/off accordingly.
