Securing the Theft Deterrent System (TDS)‑Premium
1. Rough the top of the antennas and mounting locations with a piece of sandpaper (not included). The top of the antenna will
be identified with a logo.
2. Clean the top of the antennas and the mounting location with the supplied preparation wipe. Allow the surfaces to dry.
3. Remove the adhesive pad cover and place onto the antenna.
4. Remove the adhesive pad cover and affix the antenna to the mounting location.
5. Slide the heat shrink tube over the GPS and satellite antenna connector on the MTU. Ensure the heat shrink tube covers
the antenna connector. Use a heat gun to shrink the tubing onto the antenna cable and connector.
a - Heat shrink tube
b - GPS antenna connection (J1)
c - Satellite antenna connection (J3)
6. Verify the serial number on the MTU is identical to the decal installed on the last page of this manual.
IMPORTANT: The serial number is required when registering the product on the website.
7. Turn the MTU so the label is not seen and secure the MTU to the bulkhead with the appropriate hardware. If possible,
camouflage the MTU by securing the vessel's harnesses over the MTU.
8. Mount the user interface in a location that is hidden from view.
9. Fasten and support all harnessing with clamps or cable ties along the routing path. A clamp or cable tie must be used
within 25.4 cm (10.0 in.) of any connection and every 45.8 cm (18.0 in.) along the routing path if not housed in a rig tube.
IMPORTANT: After the Mercury theft deterrent system has been installed and tested, and the registration form submitted
to Faria WatchDog Inc. with an acknowledgement return e‑mail, the Mercury theft deterrent system must be completely
disengaged from the battery. Faria WatchDog Inc. will not recognize the TDS registration activation unless the battery is
completely disengaged for more than 30 seconds and then reconnected.
