SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
· Install this product 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.
· Do not mount this product in an engine compartment or areas of extreme heat. Areas exposed to a heater or hot air should also be avoided.
· 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.
· Check before drilling to make sure that you will not be drilling into an exterior panel/hull, fuel tank, gas/brake line, wiring harness or other vital system.
· Do not run system wiring outside or underneath the vehicle/vessel. This is an extremely dangerous practice, which can result in severe damage/injury.
· Protect all system wires from sharp edges and wear by carefully routing them, tying them down and using grommets and loom where appropriate. Secure all wiring using cable ties or wire clamps, as needed.
· Do not replace the power wire fuse with one of a different value. Never bypass the fuse.
· Never make power connections with a “live” wire. Failure to make safe, tight, high-integrity connections can result in fire and extensive damage

MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION The diagram below shows a typical fiberglass panel. Always follow proper safety procedures. Wear eye-protection at all times with a dust mask and gloves when cutting. A mounting template is included to aid in measuring and marking the mounting surface before cutting or drilling. 1. Press along the perforation to remove the center section of the mounting template. (Discard the center section.) The template can be used to verify there is sufficient flat surface area for mounting and as a guide for cutting the opening. Tape the template to the mounting location and mark the surface for cutting the opening and drilling pilot holes. 2. Use a jigsaw or rotary tool to cut an opening in the mounting surface. If necessary, use a file or sandpaper to adjust the opening for proper fitment. 3. Place the source unit into the opening and check that the mounting holes remain aligned with the pilot hole marks taken from the template. If not, adjust and mark new holes as necessary. 4. Remove the source unit and drill four (4) pilot holes in the mounting surface at the pilot hole marks. 5. Peel the adhesive backing from the mounting gasket and Connect all wiring and place the source unit into the opening. 6. Secure source unit using the four (4) stainless steel screws. Press the trim ring onto the front of the source unit. Important: Before drilling or cutting, make sure there is adequate space behind the mounting surface to fit the source unit, including its wire harness.
