Important
· The Radio requires +12V DC voltage for the power input. If
your vehicle battery power is not 12V (e.g., 24V, 36V, or 48V),
you will need a DC-DC voltage converter with 12V output (e.g.
a 48V-to-12V converter). Connecting the Radio directly to
higher voltages will cause damage to the Radio and VOID THE
PRODUCT WARRANTY.
· The Radio’s power supply is controlled by your boat or land
vehicle’s ignition switch, or a rocker switch. So, with the combined
operation of the switch and the Power Button on the Radio, the
Radio may be in the On or Standby Powered State after you turn
on your switch, as described in the Installation Guide. So, if the
Radio is not turned on after you turn on your switch, press the
Power Button to turn it on.
· The Radio has an embedded microphone on the front panel for
smartphone speakerphone calls. The Speakerphone Function
is DISABLED as the factory default. If you want to use the
Speakerphone Function, you will need to enable it in the Radio’s
Menu BEFORE you pair your phone to the Radio. Enabling or
disabling the Speakerphone Function will erase the Bluetooth
paring records on your radio. So, if you pair your phone with the
Radio first, then enable the Speakerphone Function, the Radio will
lose the pairing records with your phone. In this case, you will have
to go to your phone’s Bluetooth setting menu to forget the Radio,
then pair your phone with the Radio, once again. Refer to Phone
Connection and Speakerphone Function – Speakerphone for
more details.
