Important note: Please turn off the spa before following the steps below.

Step 1: Locate the Equipment Bay

Identify the location of the spa’s equipment bay. Depending on the model of your spa, the equipment bay is typically under the keypad. You may check the manual for your model's specific equipment location.

Your spa should have two pre-drilled holes with blanking caps for the kit. If not using the kit, leave the caps in.

Step 2: Remove Cabinet Panel to Access Black Box

Remove the cabinet panel to access the black box where the stereo and transformer will be mounted. This box already houses the Ozone generator.

Step 3: Mounting the Transformer & Stereo

Mount the transformer using two small screws and attach the amplifier with four small screws. Ensure you’re using the correct length screws to avoid piercing any pipes behind the black box.

Important: The Fisher™ WiFi and Audio Kit includes two sets of screws with different lengths: • Use the longer screws to secure the Sub Speaker in place. • Use the smaller screws for mounting the Stereo & Transformer into the black box.

Step 4: Attach the transformer.

Use two small screws to install the transformer.

Step 5: Attach the amplifier

Use four small screws to install the amplifier to the black box.

Once the cables are connected, the next step is to connect the power supply to the amplifier using white two-pin connectors.

Step 8: Connect Power Supply to the SpaNet™ Controller

Before connecting the power supply to the SpaNet™ Controller using the white two-pin connector, ensure that you plug it in with the two outer pins having flat sides. The same rule applies to the plug – there's only one way to connect it.

Step 9: Prepare Subwoofer Installation

Prepare the mounting plate for the subwoofer. Locate and remove the appropriate cabinet panel. Make sure to install the Audio WiFi Kit before fixing the spa into position.

Step 10: Mount the Subwoofer

Mount the subwoofer on the speaker base plate and secure it with the provided strap.

Step 11: Wire the Subwoofer to Amplifier

Wire the positive and negative connectors of the subwoofer to the amplifier, making sure the wires are properly seated.

Step 12: Install the SmartLink™ Module

Notice the two holes in the cabinet panel. Take off the caps and unscrew the panel.

• Push the SmartLink™ cable through a hole.
• Stick the SpaNet™ module to the cabinet using its adhesive.
• Put it vertically on the panel, covering the hole.

Remember: Keep the module vertical, wifi symbol on top for waterproofing and better signal.

Step 13: Install the On/Off Button

• Start by pressing the latch on the back of the ON/OFF button to remove the button plug.
• Take off the fastening nut from the back of the button, allowing it to go through the cabinet panel.
