Mounting Precautions 1. A mounting template is included. Aquatic AV recommends using the measure twice, cut once method!
2. Once the mounting hole is complete, make sure the outside surface is clean and clear of debris. The Media Player has an external water/dust proof gasket, but this requires a clean and flat surface for best performance. 3. The Media Player has four (4) front screws. Drive the screws using a screw driver. During final mounting apply equal pressure to all points for the best water/dust outer seal performance. Make sure screws are snug and do not over tighten. 4. Review all outside surfaces of the Media Player to ensure a proper water/dust seal. This is important for long-term environmental protection performance for your digital media device. m m 8 9 6

When both of these wires have power the AQ-MP-5BT is always powered on. Ground is connected to the black wire. Once all connections are made press the rotary knob and the stereo will turn ON. In a spa application this requires the red and yellow wires to be jumped together and then con-
nected to the +12VDC output of the power source. In this set up the AQ-MP-5BT will always be on, with a very low current draw when idle. In a boat, ATV or other application requiring power from a battery, the yellow wire (constant power) should be connected to the battery, and the red wire should be connected to the ignition or a switch.
