The amplifier has an auto on/off system to help save power and has a protective thermal fuse device
to protect both amplifier and speakers from short circuiting. It is compatible with audio devices that
have an AUX-IN 3.5mm jack and the system is highly adapted to condition changes in the
environment, including humidity and temperature. Complete with waterproof accessories, the
amplifier and speakers carry IP 68 rating and IP 65 rating respectively.

The amplifier would be turned off automatically in the following situations:
1) While the music is still playing and the volume is adjusted to the minimal for more than 40 seconds, the amplifier
should turn off spontaneously.
2) If the music stops playing while the audio device is still connected to the amplifier, the amplifier would also turn off
automatically after 40 seconds.
3) Disconnecting the audio device from the amplifier would turn off the amplifier after 40 seconds.

1) Standard Flat Surface:
1. Mount plastic bracket F on the chosen flat surface with the screws
(4×12 mm) provided in the package.
2. Hold the speaker in position and secure the mount with a screw
(4×15 mm) and a nut.
3. Adjust the projecting angle of the speaker and tighten any loose
screws.
2) Handle bar:
1. Select mounting clamp G from the package.
2. Peel one side of twin adhesive stickers H and adhere it to the
surface of the speaker mount.
3. Place the speaker in the correct position so the screw hole of the
speaker in line with the mounting hole of the clamp and secure the
installation with a screw (4×15 mm) and a nut.
4. Clamp the speaker mount around the handle bar.
5. For one-inch handlebar, fold the C-ring gasket X (see parts list)
around the handlebar; for 7/8 inch handlebar, place an additional
C-ring gasket W inside C-ring X to achieve a tight mounting.
6. Slide the C-ring into the speaker mount. This will absorb
shockwaves from motorcycle.
7. Tighten the clamp around the handlebar with a screw (4×25 mm), a
nut and a nylon spacer in between. The nylon spacer is designed
to absorb vibration and shockwaves. It reduces the chance of the
clamp breaking.
8. Adjust the projecting angle of the speaker and tighten any loose
screws.
3) Mirror side:
1. Select mounting bracket I and J from the package and
disassemble the side mirror.
2. Select the appropriate mounting style of the bracket. To position
the speakers at a higher level see diagram A; to position the
speakers at a lower level see diagram B.
3. Hold the speaker in position and secure the mounting to the holder
with a screw (4×15 mm) and a nut.
4. Screw the holder to the stainless steel bracket with a 4×6 mm
screw and adjust the angle.
5. Reassemble the side mirror on the stainless steel bracket as
shown.
6. Secure a tight mount to prevent detachment of the bracket or the
mirror.
7. Adjust the final projecting angle of the speaker.
8. Check for an

9. Amplifier Functional Test
We suggest the following product testing procedures to test the amplifier for the first time. The
automatic on/off system could help to save electricity in various situations. The LED light indicates the
status of the amplifier. It is only switched on if the amplifier is turned on.
The amplifier would be turned on automatically in the following situations:
1) Connect the audio device (e.g. MP3 player) to the amplifier with the 3.5 mm Stereo Male to Male
cord. Turn the volume control towards 10 o’clock position and play any music. The LED light should be
switched on and the amplifier should come to life immediately.
2) If the music device is already playing, connecting it to the amplifier should also turn on the amplifier
automatically.

5. Parts List

6. Select the best location for mounting
Be aware that Moto series can adapt different mounting styles and each follows a separate set of
installation instructions. The high fidelity speakers are designed to stand on top of a strong surface.
All speakers are intended to be installed into a sturdy panel.
The surface/panel you select should have the appropriate strength to hold the unit firmly in place
after installation.Apart from the strength, consider the effects of shock, vibration, shear pressure and
movement in different directions have on the mounting surface/panel. If the surface is not sturdy
enough, the housing may be dislocated from its original position and it may be damaged. If you are
uncertain about the location of your choice, contact the local dealer for advice.
7. Amplifier Installation
Read the following instructions carefully before proceeding. If you are unfamiliar with wiring
electronic devices, consult your local dealer or contract professionals. False wiring could damage the
amplifier and the rest of audio system. Hook and Loop has been included for tight fitments when the
‘U’ mount bracket will not fit.
