1. Turn on source unit
and conrm the FiX™
86 and all aftermarket

will vary
depending on
the condition
of the input
signal.
Flashing amber
(new unit that
has never been
calibrated)
OEM source unit balance,
fader and tone controls
should be set to zero/
at or “centered”. Turn o
any source unit EQ or DSP
modes.
2. With the OEM source
unit volume set at
75%, insert the FiX™
Calibration CD and
play Track 01. (Note:
Track 01 begins with 20
seconds of silence.)
If your OEM source unit is
not equipped with a CD
player, you may transfer
the calibration track to a
portable media player or
thumb drive and connect
to your source unit’s auxil-
iary input. Make to sure to
disable any EQ/DSP modes
on your portable media
player during calibration.
3. Within 15 seconds of
starting Track 01, press
and hold the “Calibrate”
button for 5 seconds
until the “Calibration
Status” LEDs turn to
steady amber, then
release.
Two green ashes
Once the “Calibrate”
button is released, the
“Calibration Status”
LEDs may also light
amber, depending on
the progress of Track
01. This is normal.
4. After approximately
30 seconds, the “Cal-
ibration Status” LEDs
will indicate whether a
successful calibration
was achieved or not.

Calibration Reset
If desired, the calibration memory of your FiX™ 86 may be reset to its original
blank “factory” state. This may be useful during troubleshooting or when
transferring equipment from one vehicle to another. To reset the calibration
memory of your FiX™ 86: Press and hold the “Calibrate” button for 15 seconds
until the “Calibration Status” LEDs begin to alternate green, then release the
button. The “Calibration Status” LEDs will cycle through amber-red-green colors 3
times, then flash amber to confirm the reset status.
