Instruction Manual

Compass-Safe Distances
All speakers contain magnets which may cause interference with instruments on your boat. The size of the
magnet used in the speaker affects how much interference the speaker may cause.
Interference can cause deviations and variations in the readings of sensitive navigational equipment, such as
magnetic compasses. These deviations can cause inaccuracies or offsets in the readings, but will not harm the
equipment. To alleviate the deviations, adjust the compass for the deviation following the manufacturer's
instructions or move the speaker away from the navigational equipment. After moving a source of interference,
you may need to recalibrate the compass.
If you are navigating solely by a magnetic compass, use extreme caution to place the speaker far enough away
from the compass to avoid causing deviations in the readings.
To avoid deviations to navigational equipment, position the speakers so they are separated from the
navigational equipment by at least the distance listed in the table below.
