Using this product in systems with positive ground and/or voltages other than 12 volts may result in damage to the product and will void the warranty. This product is not certified or approved for use in aircraft.Safety Considerations• Whenever possible, mount this product in a dry, well-ventilated location that does not interfere with other factory installed electronic devices. If a dry environment is not available, a location that is not exposed to heavy splashing may be used.• While this product is designed to be water-resistant, it should never be submerged under water or subjected to high-pressure water spray. • Do not mount in an engine compartment or in any areas of extreme heat.• Ensure this product is securely installed so that it does not come loose in the event of a collision/sudden jolt or as a result of repeated vibrations during normal operation.• Check before drilling to make sure that you will not be drilling into an exterior panel/hull, fuel tank, gas/brake line, wiring harness, or other vital system.• Do not run system wiring outside or underneath the vehicle/vessel. This is an extremely dangerous practice, which can result in severe damage/injury.• Protect all system wires from sharp edges (metal, fiberglass, etc.) by carefully routing them, tying them down and using grommets and loom where appropriate.• Secure all wiring as needed, using cable ties or wire clamps to protect them from moving parts and sharp edges.• Do not replace the power wire fuse with one of a different value. Never bypass the fuse.Mounting & InstallationThe design of the MBT-CRX requires just a single hole for installation. Its easy-to-use threaded-collar mounting system can accommodate installations in flat surfaces up to 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) thick. A front-mounted adaptor plate is included for installations in panels exceeding 1.75 inches (4.5 cm) thick, or where rear access is limited or not possible.

When successfully connected, the JL Audio logo on the MBT-CRX will stop blinking and remain lit. A single beep will be heard through the connected audio system.Note: If optional connection is made to a head unit’s remote turn-on output, the head unit will turn the MBT-CRX on/off and the MBT-CRX power button will no longer operate.Pairing Considerations cont’dWhen a connected streaming device is out of range for more than one minute, the MBT-CRX will automatically disconnect this streaming device and return to pairing mode (JL Audio logo will blink). When that same device comes back into range, it should be reconnected to the MBT-CRX manually.Controlling Audio PlaybackOnce connected, use the controls on the MBT-CRX to adjust volume up/down, track selection and play/pause. 2-Year Limited Warranty (U.S.A.)
