INSTALLATION
VVARNING
Caution! The
MS-RA50
is
designed
for
vessels with a 1
2V
DC
Negative ground
electrical
system.
•
Ensure the marine vessel's
+
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-RA50,
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.
Note:
Ensure
the
Aerial
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
an
independent
AMIFM
marine antenna
(ground independent). Please
