Operating Instructions

Your SSV Works audio system integrates with your Polaris RZR Pro Ride Command system. The Phase EQ amplifier features a patented Rock 'N Ride switch for optimized audio profiles.

Initial Power-Up:

1. Turn the vehicle's ignition key to the "ON" position.
2. Access the audio settings through your Ride Command display.
3. Verify that the SSV Works audio system is recognized and functioning.

Rock 'N Ride Switch:

The Rock 'N Ride switch allows you to toggle between two distinct audio profiles:

• RIDE Mode: Optimized for in-cab listening while riding. This profile compensates for wind and engine noise, and boosts frequencies typically lost when wearing a helmet, providing an energized listening experience.
• ROCK Mode: Optimized for outdoor listening when the vehicle is stationary, such as at a campsite. This profile provides a fuller, more optimal sound experience outside the vehicle.

Locate the Rock 'N Ride switch in your standard rocker switch location and press to switch between modes.

Bluetooth Connectivity:

Your system supports Bluetooth connectivity for wireless audio streaming.

1. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your mobile device.
2. Navigate to the Bluetooth settings on your Ride Command display.
3. Select "SSV Works Audio" (or similar name) from the list of available devices.
4. Pair your device. Once paired, you can stream audio wirelessly.

Maintenance

The SSV Works RZ5-Q3ARC Audio Kit is designed for durability in off-road environments. Regular maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity.

• Cleaning: Clean speaker grilles and enclosures with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Do not spray water directly into speaker cones or amplifier vents.
• Inspections: Periodically check all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Ensure mounting hardware for speakers, subwoofer, and amplifier remains secure.
