Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for
product warnings and other important information.
WARNING
This device must be installed according to these instructions.
Disconnect the vehicle's or vessel's power supply before beginning to install
this device.
CAUTION
To maintain ignition protection compliance in accordance with SAE J1171, you
must replace the fuse only with a J1171 compliant fuse.
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100 dBA may cause
permanent hearing loss. The volume is typically too loud if you cannot hear
people speaking around you. Limit the amount of time you listen at high
volume. If you experience ringing in your ears or muffled speech, stop listening
and have your hearing checked.
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling,
cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the
surface.
This device is designed for a 12 Vdc power source. Connecting to a 24 Vdc or
larger power source may damage the device.
It is strongly recommended that you have your audio system installed by a
professional installer to ensure optimum performance.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the installation. If

Mounting Considerations
CAUTION
In high ambient temperatures and after extended use, the device enclosure
may reach temperatures deemed dangerous to touch. Therefore the device
must be installed in a location where it will not be touched during operation.
NOTICE
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme
temperatures or conditions. The temperature range for this device is listed in
the product specifications. Extended exposure to temperatures exceeding the
specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause
device failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related
consequences are not covered by the warranty.
This device is designed for installation only in a dry location. Installing this
device in a location where it may come in contact with water or become
submerged may result in damage. Water damage is not covered by the
warranty.
• The device must be mounted in a location that does not interfere with the
fuel tank or electrical wiring.
• The device must be mounted in a location where it is not exposed to water.
• The device must be mounted in a location with adequate ventilation where
it is not exposed to extreme temperatures.
• If the device is mounted in an enclosed space, you should install a cooling
fan with appropriate ducts to aid in airflow.
• The device should be mounted so that the cables can be connected easily.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should be
installed at least 50 cm (20 in.) away from a compass.
• The device should not be mounted in close proximity to other navigation-
critical equipment, antennas, or radio-communication equipment on the
vessel.
Mounting the SG-DA82000 Signature Series Device
NOTICE
If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the pilot holes, it is
recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through
only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer
when the screws are tightened.
NOTE: Screws are included with the device, but they may not be suitable for
the mounting surface.
Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting location and
determine what screws and other mounting hardware are needed for the
surface.
1
Place the device in the mounting location and mark the location of the pilot
holes.
2
Drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.
3
Loosely fasten the device to the mounting surface with one corner and
examine the other three pilot-hole marks.
4
Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary, and remove the device from the
mounting surface.
5
Drill the remaining pilot holes.
6
Secure the device to the mounting location.
Removing the Cover
You must remove the cover to reach the connectors and configuration controls
on the amplifier.
1
Using the included 3 mm hex key, remove the screws that secure the
cover to the amplifier.
2
Lift the cover off of the amplifier and set it aside until after you have
finished making all of the connections and configured the amplifier.
