Mounting

Mounting on ATV or UTV

Always consult an expert when in doubt about the installation.

Use only the supplied accessory for mounting. Using other mounting methods may void the warranty.

To ensure security of the mounted sound system, always check the mounting conditions (e.g.

mounting straps) of the sound system before each vehicle ride.

1. Using the two supplied mounting straps and zip ties, secure the sound system on the rails or roll bars of

your vehicle, as shown in the gure below. Make sure the sound system is securely attached to your vehicle.

No special tool is required when mounting the sound system on ATV or UTV.

The illustration is for reference only. Your vehicle may vary.

Power Connection

Option1: Using Power Port

If your vehicle has a 12V power port, directly connect the sound system to your vehicle for power connection.

1. Insert the 12V power port plug of the sound system into your vehicle power port. When the power supply is

connected, the power LED indicator illuminates on the power port plug.

Note: To avoid battery drain, it is recommended to unplug after each use (if the vehicle power port is not

switched off with the ignition key).

Option 2: Using Power Port Plug Adapter

If your vehicle dose not have a 12V power port, use the supplied power port plug adapter for connection to

your vehicle battery.

Important:

• To avoid short circuits and any resulting damage to the sound system, the negative terminal of the vehicle

battery must be disconnected rst.

1. Connect the black/ground wire of the power port plug adapter to the vehicle’s metal frame or to the negative

battery terminal. Fasten the ground wire with a bolt/screw on the metal surface. Make sure the metal surface

is clean with no paint, rust or dirt.

2. Connect the red wire of the power port plug adapter to the positive battery terminal.

If needed, use extension wires of 12-14 gauge for connection to the battery. Remember to install a 15A

in-line fuse (not included) and an on/off switch (not included). An on/off switch is not needed if you

unplug the sound system after each use or if the vehicle power port is turned off with the ignition key. Refer

to the illustration.

3. Insert the power port plug of the sound system into the power port plug adapter.

When the power supply is connected, the power LED indicator illuminates on the power port plug.

battery must be disconnected rst.

1. Remove the plug from the supplied power port plug cable.

2. Connect the power port plug’s negative wire to the vehicle’s metal frame or to the negative battery terminal,

and the power port plug’s positive wire to the positive battery terminal.

• To prevent electrical damage, you must install 1) a 15A fuse (not included) and 2) an on/off switch (not

included) to be in line with the power wire which connects to the positive battery terminal.

• Fasten the ground wire with a bolt/screw on the metal surface. Make sure the metal surface is clean with no

paint, rust or dirt.

6Note:

To avoid battery drain when the sound system is not used, disconnect the sound system from the battery by

unplugging the power port plug or using the inline on/off switch (not included).

Bluetooth

Before you can stream music from your mobile device (iOS device or Android device) to this sound system

through Bluetooth, pair the sound system with your mobile device.

1. Make sure the AUX cable is not connected to the sound system. Then connect to power supply.

The power LED indicator illuminates on the power port plug, and the sound system will automatically enter

pairing mode.

2. On your mobile device, enable Bluetooth function and select the device name (“Boss Audio ATV6.5B”) to

pair the sound system with the mobile device.

If prompted for password input on your mobile device, input “0000”.

Note: Only one device can be paired at a time.

3. When successfully paired/connected, conrmation tone can be heard. Play audio on your mobile device,

and audio will be streamed to the sound system. Use the volume control on the connected device to adjust

volume.

After pairing, the sound system will be automatically connected to your mobile device each time the two are

turned on. To connect a second mobile device, disconnect the current Bluetooth connection then manually

connect another device through your mobile device.

To maximize audio performance, set the volume of the connected device to a minimum of 75%.

Ideally, on the highest volume setting you can get without distortion.

Operating the sound system consumes the vehicle battery. To avoid battery exhaustion, be sure to

run the vehicle engine when operating the sound system.

Operational range can be reduced by any obstacle between the sound system and the device.

If the connected device is out of the effective range from the sound system, the device will be

automatically disconnected. The device will be automatically re-connected if it is within the effective

range again. If Bluetooth has been disconnected for more than three minutes, you need to manually

reconnect Bluetooth through your mobile device.

AUX

You can listen to an external audio device (e.g. MP3 player or a mobile phone) through this sound system.

1. Using the supplied AUX cable, connect the AUX input jack (3.5 mm) on the sound system to the headphone

jack on your audio device.

If the sound system is currently connected to a mobile device through Bluetooth, Bluetooth will be

automatically disconnected.

2. Select and play audio les on your audio device. Audio from the connected device will be played on this

sound system.

Use the controls on the connected device to control play (e.g. volume adjustment).

AUX input

3.5 mm audio cable

To maximize audio performance, set the volume of the connected device to a minimum of 75% before

connection to the audio device.

To resume Bluetooth connection, you must disconnect the AUX cable from the sound system.

Operating the sound system consumes the vehicle battery. To avoid battery exhaustion, be sure to run

the vehicle engine when operating the sound system.

Fuse Replacement

7Fuse replacement of the vehicle power port plug

If the power LED indicator on the power port plug does not illuminate, this indicates the fuse inside the power port

plug is blown. Replace the blown fuse with a new 10A AGC fuse (glass cartridge type).

1. Locate the screw cap on the front end of the power port plug. Turn counterclockwise the screw cap to open

then access the fuse inside.

2. Replace with a new fuse (not included). Then replace the power port plug while ensuring the contact head

sticks out.
