PhatBox Overview
The PhatBox chassis is the “brain” of the PhatNoise Car Audio System.
It is a computer that you install permanently in your vehicle. The
PhatBox software and the music files themselves are contained on the
cartridge that is inserted into the PhatBox.

DMS Cartridge Overview
The DMS cartridge is what makes the PhatBox flexible. Just like a
computer hard drive, its huge storage capacity can accommodate
thousands of music files.
When inserting the DMS Cartridge into the PhatBox, make sure the
cartridge slides all the way in until the latches click. Press the release
button whenever pulling the drive out of the cradle or the PhatBox.
Do not open the DMS cartridge casing. Doing so will void your
warranty. Only use genuine DMS cartridges with your
PhatNoise Car Audio System —other cartridges with other
drives inside will not work with your system.

USB Cradle Overview
The USB cradle plugs into the USB port in the back of your computer.
Inserting the DMS cartridge into the USB cradle allows your computer
to download and store music files in your DMS cartridge. This cradle is
USB 2.0 compatible for fast transfer speeds. It is highly recommended
that you use your USB cradle with a high-speed USB 2.0 port in order
to achieve the fastest transfer rate. There are many brands of
inexpensive USB 2.0 PCI adapter cards available today.
Please be careful when the DMS cartridge is in the USB cradle. If
you bump or drop the USB cradle and DMS cartridge while in use,
you may damage the unit.
Important! Download and install the PhatNoise Music Manager
software in your computer before you connect the USB cradle to
your computer.
