If
any
modification
to
the
vessel
is
required,
such
as
drilling
holes
etc
FUSION
recommends
consultation
with
your
boat
dealer
or
manufacturer
beforehand.
MOUNTING
CONSIDERATIONS
This
device
should
be
mounted
in a
location
that
is
not
exposed to
extreme
temperatures
or
conditions.
Extended
exposure
to high
temperatures,
in
storage
or
operating
conditions,
may
cause device
failure.
Extreme-temperature-induced
damage
and
related
consequences
are
not
covered by
the
warranty.
The device
must
be
mounted
in a
location
where
it is
not
submerged.
The device
must
be
mounted
in a
location
with
adequate
ventilation
where
it
is
not
exposed to
extreme
temperatures.
"
The device
should
be
mounted
so
that
the
cables
can be
connected
easily.
To
achieve IPX3
water
ingress
protection
and
optimal
heat
sink
cooling,
the
device
must
be
mounted
on a
vertical
surface
with
the
connectors
pointing
downward.
The device
may
be
mounted
on a
horizontal
surface,
but
such
positioning
might
not
achieve IPX3
water
ingress
protection.
To
avoid
interference
with
a
magnetic
compass,
the
device
should
be
installed
at
least
203
mm
(8
in.)
away
from
a
compass.
MOUNTING
THE
DEVICE
1.
Place
the
device in
the
mounting
location
and
mark
the
location
of
the
pilot
holes.
2.
Drill
the
appropriate
pilot
hole
for
one
corner
of
the
device.
3.
Loosely
fasten
the
device to
the
mounting
surface
with
one
corner
and
examine
the
other
three
pilot-hole
marks.
4.
Mark
new
pilot-hole
locations
if
necessary,
and
remove
the
device
from
the
mounting
surface.
5.
Drill
the
appropriate
pilot
holes
for
the
other
three
marks.
6.
Secure
the
device to
the
mounting
location.

ELECTRICAL
\NIRING
Caution:
The
MS-88300
is designed forvessels with a
12V
DC
Negative ground electrical system
INSTALLATION
\NARNING
•
Ensure
the
marine
vessels
+12V
lead
is
removed
from
the
battery
before
any
equipment
is
connected
•
Investigate
the
marine
vessel's
fuel
tanks
and
electrical
wiring
locations
before
you begin
installation
•
Ensure
all
wiring
is
protected
to avoid
damage
When
wiring
the
MS-88300,
ensure
that
the
wires
are
away
from
sharp
objects
and
that
rubber
grommets
and
insulated
bungs are used
when
routing
the
wiring.
Ensure
that
when
connecting
the
wires
to
the
speakers
and audio
system,
the
terminals
and
connections
are
protected
from
shorting
to each
other
or
ground.
Note:
Ensure the antenna cable
is
routed away from any power cables, and
is
the minimal
length,
as
long cable
runs
will affect
AM
reception performance.
For
optimum
radio
reception
please
ensure
you use a dedicated
AMIFM
ground
independent
marine
antenna.
Please

ELECTRICAL ISOLATION
OF
THE
MS-88300
The
MS-88300
stereo
has a
metal
chassis
which
is
connected
to
the
Ground
I
Negative
I
Black
wire
(like
most
other
stereos).
Extra
care
should
be
taken
when
installing
this
type
of
stereo
in an
aluminium
boat
(or
boats
with
a
conductive
hull)
if
you
require
the
electrical
system
to be
isolated
from
the
boat
hull.

ANTENNA
CONNECTION-
Connect
an
AM/FM
marine
antenna.
There
are
two
main
types
of
Antenna
supplied
for
FM/AM
reception
in a
marine
environment.
The
first
is a
"Ground
Dependant"
Antenna.
This
is
designed
to be used
where
the
antenna
base
is in
contact
with
a
metal
surface
such as
steel
or
aluminium
that
has a
surface
area of 0.5m
2
or
greater.
This is a
ground
plane
and
the
antenna
depends
on
it
for
reception
signal
strength,
if
fitted
on a
vessel
without
this
you
will
get
very
poor
reception.
The second is a
"Ground
Independent"
antenna.
This is
suitable
for
non
metal
vessels
and a
ground
plane
is
not
required.
Ensuring
you have
the
correct
type
of
antenna
for
your
vessel
is
something
that
is
missed
sometimes
as
it
is
not
well
advertised.
VHF
splitters
are
another
option
but
we do
not
recommend
them
for
optimum
reception,
as you
are
relying
on the
short
wire
run
from
the ·stereo to
the
splitter
and
this
is-
generally
inside the
vessel
or
behind a dash so
reception
is
limited.
