Mounting and Connection ConsiderationsWhen selecting a location for the remote control receiver and making the wiring connections, observe these considerations.
- The receiver housing is not weather proof, and the receiver must be installed in a location that is not exposed to the elements.
- You can connect a single receiver to up to 8 LED speakers (4 pair). You must use an additional receiver (sold separately) to connect to additional LED speakers.
- You can pair a remote control with up to three receivers.
Connecting the Remote Control Receiver
You can connect up to 8 (4 pair) of RGB LED speakers to one remote control receiver.
- Route a power wire (not included) from a 12 Vdc power source to the location of the receiver.
- Install the included 7.5 A fuse on the power wire.
- Route 4-conductor wire (not included) from the receiver to the speakers you want to control, joining the wire where needed to connect up to 8 speakers.
- Connect the 4-conductor wire to the RGB connectors on the speakers according to the installation instructions provided with the speakers.
- Loosen the wire terminal screws on the bottom of the receiver using a 3 mm flat screwdriver.
- Connect the power and RGB speaker wires to the wire terminals on the sides of the receiver.

- Secure the receiver to the mounting location using cable ties or adhesive (not included).
Installing the Remote Control Cradle
You can install the included remote cradle to store the remote when not in use. Mounting hardware for the cradle is not included.
NOTICE
This remote control is not weatherproof. Failure to install the cradle in a location that is not exposed to the elements could result in damage to the remote control.
- Using the cradle as a template, mark the two pilot holes.
- Remove the cradle from the mounting surface and drill the pilot holes. Do not drill through the cradle when drilling the pilot holes. This may damage the cradle.
- Secure the cradle to the mounting surface using two 4 gauge (3 mm) countersunk stainless-steel screws.
Installing the BatteriesYou must install AAA alkaline batteries (not included) in the remote control.
- Slide the battery door to the back of the remote, and pull up to open it.
- Insert two AAA batteries, observing polarity.
