FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits of
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment
does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the
receiving antenna.
- Increase separation between the
equipment and the receiver.
- Connect the equipment to an outlet
on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced
radio/TV technician for help.
Any changes or modifications
not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority
to operate this equipment.
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
• Only use this product in vehicles with
12 volt, negative-ground electrical
systems. This product is not certified or
approved for use in aircraft.
• Securely mount this product so that it
does not come loose in the event of a
collision, sudden jolt or as a result of
repeated vibrations during normal use.
• Do not replace the power wire fuse
with one of a different value.
Never bypass the fuse.
• Operate your audio system in a manner
that still allows you to hear necessary
noises to operate your vessel safely
(horns, sirens, etc.).
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
• Read this manual completely before
installation. Professional installation is
recommended.
• Install in a dry, well-ventilated location
that does not interfere with your
factory-installed systems. If a dry
environment is not available, a location
that is not exposed to heavy splashing
may be used.
• While this product is designed to be
water-resistant, it should never be
submerged under water or subjected to
high-pressure water spray.
• Before drilling, verify that you will not
be drilling into an exterior panel/hull,
fuel tank, gas/brake line, wiring harness,
or other vital system.
• Carefully route all system wiring away
moving parts and sharp edges; secure
with cable ties or wire clamps and use
grommets and loom where appropriate
to protect from sharp edges.
