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.
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.

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.
Figure 3. Amplifier and volume control installation quick guide.
Select a stable and sturdy surface before beginning the process. Mount the amplifier unit as illustrated in the diagram (left). For reference to
volume control installation, please see right diagram. Ensure the right parts are used during installation. For the parts list, please see Parts List.
Test the audio system by playing music from your audio device. If the green light comes on then rotate the volume control knob to adjust the
volume. Contact your local dealer if the system fails to function.

6. Select the best location for mounting
Be aware that our Waterproof Audio System 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 surface/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.
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.
