GETTING STARTED

Remove the Water/Dust Proof RF Wireless Remote control from the Digital

TM

Media Locker . Unscrew the waterproof cap on the back of the remote control , place the CR-2032 in the RF Remote control and replace the waterproof cap.

Always ensure to connect and disconnect your media player with dry hands.

Always activate the on-off button when operating the Digital Media

TM

Locker . By doing so, your battery life will be extended.

Important Notes on the Use of Remote Control

The remote control LCD will display " - -" whenever it is turned ON.

TM

This display will remain until Radio mode or iPod mode is selected.

The LCD will also display " - -" if it is out of its 20ft range.

This remote control use state-of-art technology and will inform you if the dock is receiving the command from the remote control. In any case, if the LCD display "- -" again in either mode, this means that your remote control is out of range of reception. Please try the feature again.

Power ON Button

TM

To activate the Digital Media Locker , press the on/off button. On will be indicated by a RED LED.

TM

For applications where normal Digital Media Locker operation requires an independent 12V battery (Boat, RV), power down the AQ-DM-2 via the RF remote control. This will insure against independent battery drain. Other applications using 12V power converters are compatible with the AQ-DM-2.

RF Wireless Remote Control Synchronizing

TM Each Digital Media Locker comes with a matching RF Wireless LCD Remote control to maximize wireless performance. For all newly purchased remote controls, you will need to activate/Synchroize those remote controls to the

AQ-DM-2 by following the steps below: a. Press and hold the button (Play/Pause) on the remote control and then

press the Power button simultaneously for 2 seconds.

The LCD will display "Pair".

TM b. Turn on the Digital Media Locker by pressing the power button on the

EXT

MHz

AQ-DM-2 within 10 seconds after the remote is paired.

(A Red LED light will turn on under the power button to indicate the unit is

turned on.) c. Once synchronizing is complete, the LCD will return to the

MHz

original screen setting.

If you loose your remote control and buy another new remote control, please follow the above to start pairing before normal usage.

Mounting the Unit

1. Mounting templates are included. Aquatic AV recommends to utilize the "measure twice, cut once" Method.

2. Once the mounting hole is complete, make sure the outside surface is clear of debris. The

AQ-DM-2 has an external water/dust proof gasket, but it needs a clean surface for best performance.

3. The AQ-DM-2 has ten (10) front wood screws.

Drive the 10 pcs of screws with a screw driver.

During final mounting, apply equal pressure to all points for best water/dust outer seal performance.

AQ-DM-2B

Keep Dry

4. Review all outside surfaces of the AQ-DM-2 to insure proper water/dust seal. This is important for the long term environmental protection performance for iPod or MP3 devices.

5. After the installation is complete, install the finishing covers over the stainless screws with silicone. We recommend a marine grade silicone as an adhesive.
