Installation Instructions
Step 1: Install the Speakers
Before installation, connect the power cord or SAE connector to a 12V power source to test the speaker. Choose a suitable location on the handlebar to install the speakers, using the appropriate bushing and screws. The main speaker is installed on the left side of the motorcycle, and the slave speaker is installed on the right side.
Note: There are two screws in the base of the speaker. Use the Allen Wrench to loosen these screws to adjust the angle of the speaker, and then tighten them.
Step 2: Connect the Speakers
Plug the speaker connector of the main speaker into the slave speaker. Pay attention to the two arrows on each connector, which indicate the correct connection alignment.
Step 3: Connect to the Turn Signal Light
Peel off the insulated wrap of the red (right) and white (left) wires. Connect the red wire to the motorcycle's right turn signal to control the slave speaker's light. Connect the white wire to the motorcycle's left turn signal to control the main speaker's light.
Step 4: Connect SAE Power Source
Connect the red terminal of the power cord to the positive pole of the motorcycle battery and the black terminal to the negative pole. Plug the SAE connector into the main speaker's SAE connector. Tie the excess cables together and hide them.
Note: If the speaker does not power on normally, check the fuse. If the fuse is burned out, disconnect the power supply, replace the fuse, and reconnect the power supply.
Step 5: Install FM Radio Antenna
Connect the external radio antenna to the antenna connector on the main speaker. Find a suitable location on the motorcycle, secure the antenna with 3M tape, and extend it for optimal FM reception.

Maintenance and Care
Follow these suggestions for optimal maintenance and warranty protection:
- When cleaning the LEXIN Q3 external body, do not use a high-pressure water gun on the horn part to avoid damage.
- Ensure the power supply voltage is consistent with the Q3 device (12V) before use.
- Do not use the Q3 device for extended periods without the motorcycle's engine running, to prevent draining the motorcycle battery and causing starting issues.
- Do not install the power cord with wet hands to avoid electric shock.
- When replacing the fuse, use only fuses that meet the specified requirements.
- Do not store the device in high temperature, humid, or cold environments. Moisture can form inside the device in cold temperatures when it returns to normal temperature, potentially damaging electronic circuit boards.
- Do not drop or knock the device. Rough handling can damage internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.
- Do not let metal conductive materials (e.g., needles, hairpins, coins) fall into the Q3 device.
- Do not use the Q3 device under overload or short circuit conditions.
- Do not attempt to open the case of the LEXIN Q3 device.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents for cleaning.
- Do not use or store the device in dusty or dirty environments, as moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.
- Do not paint the device, as paint can clog moving parts and impede operation.
- Ensure wires are not stepped on or crushed by heavy objects.
