Mounting the unit
Important! If any modification to the vessel is required, such as drilling holes, Velex
recommends that you consult with your boat dealer or manufacturer beforehand.
1.Create mounting hole for product and drill screw pilot holes. Refer to mounting
template included.
2.Fit mounting gasket.
3.Insert the unit into the mounting hole.
4.Use the supplied 4 x self tapping screws, to fix the unit into position.
5.Attach screw covers.
Note: Appropriate mounting is very important to ensure correct operation. Select a
location that allows both free/ open airflow around rear of chassis, whilst minimizing
exposure to moisture. Allow adequate room at the rear of the unit for the cable
looms (approx. 50mm or 2”)
The heatsink must not be mounted on more than a 45 degree angle from the
horizontal plain. Failure to following restrictions could void your warranty.

Caution! The VX565D is designed for vessel with 12V DC negative ground electrical system.
Ensure the marine vessel's +12V lead is removed from the battery before any equipment is
connected.
Investigate the marine vessel's fuel tanks and electrical wiring locations before you begin
installation.
Ensure all wiring is protected to avoid damage.
When wiring the VX565D, ensure that the wires are away from sharp objects and that rubber
grommets and insulated bungs are used when routing the wiring. Ensure that when
connecting the wires to the speakers and audio system. The terminals and connections are
protected from shorting to each other.
Note: Ensure the Aerial cable is routed away from any power cables, and is the minimal
length, as long cable runs will affect AM reception performance.
For optimum radio reception, please ensure you use an independent FM marine antenna
and a separate DAB+ antenna with SMB connector (FM and DAB+ antenna are not included).
Caution! These images are not to scale, Dimension are shown in millimeters(mm)
