Connect Power

8

The receiver requires a 10-16 volts DC (VDC) power
input supporting 50 watts (4.2 amps @ 12 VDC).

1. Before you connect the receiver’s power wires,

turn off vessel power and test the circuit to
ensure no power is present.

2. Connect the receiver’s individual power wires to

a dedicated 10-amp or 15-amp circuit breaker.
Connect the negative (black) wire to ground
(power return), and connect the positive (red)
wire to +12 VDC vessel power.

3. Plug the other end of the power wires into the

“Vehicle Power” jack on the receiver’s rear panel.
Do not remove the small ferrite coil that is clamped
onto the power wires. This coil suppresses EMI
(electromagnetic interference) from the receiver.

For your own safety, shut
down vessel power before
you connect the wires.
