INITIAL TESTING
Confirm that everything is working as intended before final tuning, fitting and reassembly.
STEP 1 – RECONNECT THE BATTERY
First, ensure the battery is fully charged. Using a 10mm socket, then
reconnect the negative terminal of the negative battery cable as indicated.
STEP 2 – CONNECT SOURCE UNIT
Make any final connections to your chosen source unit so that it can power
up and output a music source for testing. MBQX-RAD-1 is specifically
designed for Can-Am X3 vehicles and is shown, but not included.
STEP 3 – INSERT MAIN FUSE AT BUS BAR
With the source unit connected, place the fuse in the fuse holder near the
bus bar main harness connection for the amplifier (recommended 30a).
STEP 4 – TURN ON IGNITION
Turn the ignition key to the ACC position.
STEP 5 – INITIAL CHECKS
Push the PWR button on the source unit and check the system for all of the
following:
●
POWER ON
- Source unit lights up and responds to button presses.
●
USB INPUT
(if available) responds when selected.
●
AUX 3.5mm INPUT
(if available) responds when selected.
●
BT MUSIC
- (if available) Follow the pairing instructions for source unit
and test a Bluetooth
®
source.
●
AM/FM RADIO
- (if available) responds when selected. Unless you have
installed an AM/FM antenna, you will only hear static.
●
SATELLITE RADIO
- (if available) responds when selected. Unless you have installed a satellite radio
antenna, you will only hear static.
●
SPEAKERS
- Confirm left and right channel speakers are playing the correct range of frequencies.
●
CORRECT LEFT/RIGHT BALANCE
- Make sure you are using the controls on the source unit to confirm
“LEFT” is the left-side channel and “RIGHT” is the right-side channel.
●
AMPLIFIER
- If the speakers are playing, the amplifier is on. Confirm settings are correct if something
doesn’t sound exactly right. CONFIRM ALL SPEAKERS ARE CONNECTED CORRECTLY TO THE
AMPLIFIER before making any further adjustments. Refer to page 8 and 11 for initial amplifier settings
during the amplifier installation.
If everything is working and producing sound, proceed to the next section - Fine Tuning.
