StoreSM or the Google Play™ store.
FUSION-Link™ Network Technology
FUSION-Link network 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 integrated entertainment
control and a less cluttered console.
The partnered multi-function display becomes the portal on
which you can control all audio on the vessel, no matter where
on the vessel the connected 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 can
communicate using existing industry-standard NMEA 2000
networks.
For a list of FUSION-Link capable products from companies
partnered with FUSION, go to www.fusionentertainment.com.
NMEA 2000 Remote Control and Display
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.
FUSION wired remote controls operate over an existing NMEA
2000 network, so wiring the remote controls directly to the
stereo is not necessary. All remote controls connected to the
same NMEA 2000 network as the stereo can control the stereo.
The FUSION wired 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. See the instructions provided with your remote control
for information on supported NMEA 2000 PGN information.
NMEA 2000 Information
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
NMEA sentences available over the NMEA 2000 network on a
connected remote control.
Go to www.fusionentertainment.com for a full list of supported
NMEA sentences.

Failure to follow these warnings and cautions could result in
personal injury, damage to the vessel, or poor product
performance.
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
This device must be installed according to these instructions.
Disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning to install
this product.
Before applying power to this product, make sure it has been
correctly grounded, following the instructions in the guide.
CAUTION
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation,
contact FUSION® Product Support.
What's In the Box
• Mounting gasket
• Four 6-gauge, self-tapping screws
• Two screw covers
• Power and speaker wiring harness
• Auxiliary-in, line-out, and subwoofer-out wiring harnesses
Tools Needed
• Phillips screwdriver
• Electric drill
• Drill bit (size varies based on surface material and screws
used)
• Rotary cutting tool or jigsaw
• Silicone-based marine sealant (optional)
Mounting Considerations
• You must mount the stereo on a flat surface that provides
open airflow around the rear of the stereo for heat ventilation.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be
exposed to water, you must mount it within 45 degrees of the
horizontal plane.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be
exposed to water, add a drip loop to the cable to allow water
to drip off of the cable and avoid damage to the stereo.
• If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, you must
mount it in a location far above the waterline, where it is not
submerged, and where it cannot be damaged by docks,
pilings, or other pieces of equipment.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, you must
install the stereo at least 15 cm (5.9 in.) away from a
compass.
Mounting the Stereo
NOTICE
Do not use the stereo as a template when drilling the mounting
holes because this may damage the glass display and void the
warranty. You must only use the included template to correctly
drill the mounting holes.
Be careful when cutting the hole to mount the stereo. There is
only a small amount of clearance between the case and the
mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could
compromise the stability of the stereo after it is mounted.
Do not apply grease or lubricant to the screws when fastening
the stereo to the mounting surface. Grease or other lubricants
can cause damage to the stereo housing.
Before you can mount the stereo in a new location on the
mounting surface, you must select a location in accordance with
the mounting considerations.
1Adhere the template to the mounting surface.
2Drill a hole inside the corner of the dashed line on the
template.
3Cut the mounting surface along the inside of the dashed
line on the template.
4Ensure the mounting holes on the stereo line up with the pilot
holes on the template.
5Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface
and screw type, drill the pilot holes.
6Remove the template from the mounting surface.
7Complete an action:
• If you are installing the stereo in a dry location, place the
included mounting gasket on the back of the stereo.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that is exposed
to water, apply silicone-based marine sealant on the
mounting surface around the cutout.
NOTICE
Do not install the included mounting gasket if you applied
sealant to the mounting surface. Using sealant and the
mounting gasket may reduce water resistance.
8If you will not have access to the back of the stereo after
installation, make the necessary wiring connections.
9Secure the stereo to the mounting surface using the included
screws .
You should hand-tighten the screws when securing the
stereo to the mounting surface to avoid over tightening them.
10Snap the screw covers in place .
Connection Considerations
The stereo must be connected to power, either through the boat
ignition or an external switch, speakers, and media input
sources to function correctly. You should carefully plan the

Connecting to Power
When connecting the stereo to power, you must connect both
power wires. You should connect the yellow power wire directly
to the battery. This provides power to the stereo and a constant
trickle-power standby feed.
You should connect the red ignition wire to the same battery
through the ignition or another manual switch to turn the stereo
on and off. If you are not routing the red wire through the ignition
or another manual switch, you can connect the red wire to the
yellow wire, and connect them both to the positive (+) battery
terminal.
You must connect the power wires to the battery through a 15 A
fuse or a 15 A circuit breaker.
If it is necessary to extend the yellow power and black ground
wires, use 14 AWG (2.08 mm2) wire. For extensions longer than
1 m (3 ft.), use 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) wire. If it is necessary to
extend the red wire, use 22 AWG (0.33 mm2) wire.
2 MS-RA210 Installation Instructions

1Route the yellow power , red ignition , and black ground
wires to the battery, and route the wiring-harness plug to
the stereo.
Do not connect the wiring harness to the stereo until all of the
bare wire connections have been made.
2Connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3If you are routing the red wire through the ignition or another
manual switch , connect the red ignition wire to the ignition
or switch.
4Connect the red wire to the yellow wire, install a 15 A fuse
as close to the battery as possible, and connect both wires to
the positive (+) battery terminal.
NOTE: If you are running the red wire through a fused switch,
it is not necessary to connect the red wire to the yellow wire
or to add an another fuse to the red wire.
Speaker Zones
You can group speakers in one area into a speaker zone. This
enables you to control the audio level of the zones individually.
For example, you could make the audio quieter in the cabin and
louder on deck.
You can connect one 4 Ohm speaker per channel of each zone.
One zone can support no more than two 4 Ohm speakers using
the on-board amplifier. To use the RCA line outputs and the
RCA subwoofer outputs, you must connect an external amplifier.
You can set the balance, volume limit, tone, subwoofer level,
subwoofer frequency, and name for each zone, and configure
other zone-specific settings.
