CAUTION
Always disconnect your media player from the stereo when not
in use and do not leave it in your vessel. This helps reduce the
risk of theft and damage from extreme temperatures.
Do not remove the media player or use your stereo in a
distracting manner while operating the vessel. Check and obey
all marine laws in association with use.
The stereo accepts a variety of media players, including
smartphones and other mobile devices. You can connect a
compatible media player using a Bluetooth® wireless connection,
a USB connection to the USB port on the back of the stereo, or
to an optional UNI-Dock external media dock.
NOTE: If you connect an Apple® media player to the USB port
on the stereo, you must either disable Bluetooth on the media
player, or unpair the Bluetooth connection from the stereo to
avoid possible media-playback issues.

You can use the USB cable that came with your media player to
connect the media player to the USB connector on the back of
the stereo.
The stereo is compatible with Apple devices that use a
Lightning™ connector on the USB cable, such as the iPhone 6.
The stereo is compatible with media players and other USB
mass storage devices that contain music in MP3, M4A, and AAC

True-Marine™ Products
True-Marine products are subjected to rigorous environmental
testing under harsh marine conditions to surpass industry
guidelines for marine products.
Any product that bears the True-Marine stamp of assurance has
been designed for simplicity of use and combines advanced
marine technologies to deliver an industry leading entertainment
experience. All True-Marine products are supported by the
Fusion 3-year worldwide limited consumer warranty.
FUSION-Link
FUSION-Link technology allows you to fully control compatible
Fusion entertainment systems on compatible multi-function
displays installed at the helm, flybridge, or navigation station of
the vessel. This provides you with integrated entertainment
control and a less cluttered console.
The partnered multi-function display becomes the portal on
which all audio on the vessel is controlled, no matter where on
the vessel the stereo is installed. The FUSION-Link equipped
stereo can be installed out of sight if space is an issue and users
need to access the stereo only to replace removable media.
FUSION-Link technology offered on this device operates over
existing industry-standard NMEA 2000® networks.
For a list of FUSION-Link capable products from companies that
are partnering with Fusion, go to www.fusionentertainment.com .
Audio Control with NMEA 2000
NMEA 2000 is the most popular marine standard for data
communication within vessels. It has become the standard for
sending navigation and engine management data within
vessels. Fusion introduces an industry-first product by
incorporating NMEA 2000 functionality in its audio remote
control devices. This enables the user to monitor a series of
available NMEA® sentences.
Go to www.fusionentertainment.com for a full list of supported
NMEA sentences.
Optional Wired Remote Controls
The stereo can be controlled by compatible Fusion wired remote
controls installed in the audio zones throughout the vessel.
Operating the entertainment system from the remote control is
similar to operating it from the main stereo.
The wired remote controls operate over an existing NMEA 2000
network, so all remotes connected to the same NMEA 2000 as
the stereo can control the stereo.
The remote control can also serve as an NMEA display showing
NMEA navigation data or vessel performance data from other
NMEA devices on an existing NMEA 2000 network.
