Mounting

Mounting on ATV or UTV

Always consult an expert when in doubt about the installation.
Use only the supplied accessory for mounting. Using other mounting methods may void the warranty.

To ensure safety of the mounted sound system, always check the mounting conditions (e.g. mounting straps) of the sound system before each vehicle ride.

Using the two supplied mounting straps and zip ties, secure the sound system on the rails or roll bars of your vehicle, as shown in the figure below. Make sure the sound system is securely attached to your vehicle.

No special tool is required when mounting the sound system on ATV or UTV. The illustration is for reference only. Your vehicle may vary.

Power Connection

Option 1: Using Power Port
If your vehicle has a 12V power port, directly connect the sound system to your vehicle for power connection.

Insert the 12V power port plug of the sound system into your vehicle power port. When the power supply is connected, the power LED indicator illuminates on the power port plug. Note: To avoid battery drain, unplug the power port cable after each use (if the port power is not switched off with the ignition key).

Option 2: Using Power Port Plug Adapter |
If your vehicle dose not have a 12V power port, use the supplied power port plug adapter for connection to your vehicle battery.

Important:
To avoid short circuits and any resulting damage to the sound system, the negative terminal of the vehicle’s battery must be disconnected first.

Connect the black/ground wire of the power port plug adapter to the vehicle’s metal frame or to the negative battery terminal. Fasten the ground wire with a bolt/screw on the metal surface. Make sure the metal surface is clean with no paint, rust or dirt.
Connect the red wire of the power port plug adapter to the positive battery terminal.
- If needed, use extension wires of 12-14 gauge for connection to the battery. Remember to install a 15A in-line fuse (not included) and an on-off switch (not included). An on/off switch is not needed if you unplug the power port cable after each use or if the vehicle power port is turned off with the ignition key. Refer to the illustration.
Insert the power port plug of the sound system into the power port plug adapter.
- When the power supply is connected, the power LED indicator illuminates on the power port plug.

Option 3: Direct connection to vehicle battery

Important:
To avoid short circuits and any resulting damage to the sound system, the negative terminal of the vehicle’s battery must be disconnected first.

Remove the plug from the supplied power port plug cable.

Connect the power port plug’s negative wire to the vehicle’s metal frame or to the negative battery terminal, and the power port plug’s positive wire to the positive battery terminal.
- To prevent electrical damage, you must install 1) a 15A fuse (not included) and 2) an on/off switch (not included) to be in line with the power wire which connects to the positive battery terminal.
- Fasten the ground wire with a bolt/screw on the metal surface. Make sure the metal surface is clean with no paint, rust or dirt.

Note:
To avoid current draw when the sound system is not used, disconnect the sound system from the battery by unplugging the power port cable or using the inline on/off switch (not included).

Bluetooth
Before you can stream music from your mobile device (iOS device or Android device) to this sound system through Bluetooth, pair the sound system with your mobile device.

Make sure the audio cable is not connected to the sound system. Then connect to power supply. The power LED indicator illuminates on the power port plug, and the sound system will automatically enter pairing mode.

On your mobile device, enable Bluetooth function and select the device name (“SSL BTB6L”) to pair the sound system with the mobile device. If prompted for password, input “0000”. Note: Only one device can be paired at a time.
When successfully paired/connected, confirmation tone can be heard. Play audio on your mobile device, and audio will be streamed to the sound system. Use the volume control on the connected device to adjust volume. After pairing, the sound system will be automatically connected to your mobile device each time the two are turned on. To change Bluetooth source, disconnect the current Bluetooth connection then manually connect another device through your mobile device.

To maximize audio performance, set the volume of the connected device to a minimum of 75%. Ideally, on the highest volume setting you can get without distortion.
Operating the sound system consumes the vehicle battery. To avoid battery exhaustion, be sure to run the vehicle engine when operating the sound system.
Operational range can be reduced by any obstacle between the sound system and the device.

If the connected device is out of the effective range from the sound system, the device will be automatically disconnected. The device will be automatically re-connected if it is back to the operational range within three minutes.

AUX
You can listen to an external audio device (e.g. MP3 player or a mobile phone) through this sound system.

Connect the 3.5mm audio input from the sound system to the audio output jack on your mobile phone, using the following audio cable.
- For a mobile phone with 3.5mm headphone jack, use the supplied 3.5mm audio cable.
- For a mobile phone with USB-C port, use USB-C to 3.5mm cable (not included).
- For an iPhone with lightning connector, use lightning to 3.5mm cable (not included).
- If the sound system is currently connected to a mobile device through Bluetooth, Bluetooth connection will be automatically disconnected.
Select and play audio files on your audio device. Audio from the connected device will be played on this sound system.
Use the controls on the connected device to control play (e.g. volume adjustment).

To maximize audio performance, set the volume of the connected device to a minimum of 75%. Ideally, on the highest volume setting you can get without distortion.

To resume Bluetooth connection, you must disconnect the audio cable from the sound system.
Operating the sound system consumes the vehicle battery. To avoid battery exhaustion, be sure to run the vehicle engine when operating the sound system.

Fuse Replacement

Fuse replacement of the vehicle power port plug
If the power LED indicator on the power port plug does not illuminate, this indicates the fuse inside the power port plug is blown. Replace the blown fuse with a new 10A AGC fuse (glass cartridge type).

Locate the screw cap on the front end of the power port plug. Turn counterclockwise the screw cap to open then access the fuse inside.
Replace with a new fuse (not included). Then replace the power port plug while ensuring the contact head sticks out.

Lighting Control

The sound system comes with a remote control. You can use the remote control to control the RGB LED lights which are integrated with the sound system.

The remote control ranges up to 25 feet (line of sight). Do not obstruct the remote control with metal.

Press to turn RGB LED lights on or off.

MODE +/- Switch from static to dynamic illumination and select a dynamic illumination pattern.
SPEED +/- For dynamic illumination, select a dynamic illumination speed.
COLOR +/-Switch from dynamic to static illumination and select an illumination color.

BRIGHT +/- For static illumination, change the illumination intensity.
DEMO Cycle red, green and blue illumination.

Important notes on battery

Observe correct polarity while inserting the battery. Replace only with the same type or equivalent type.
Do not leave the battery under direct sunlight. This may cause fire, explosion or excessive heat.

Remove the battery from the remote control if not used for a long period of time.
The remote control contains a coin/button type battery, which is a choke hazard. Keep the battery out of reach of children at all times! If swallowed, the battery can cause serious injury or death.
