• 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

• The stereo must be mounted on a flat surface.

• The stereo must be mounted in a location that allows 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, it must be mounted within 45 degrees below or 15 degrees above the horizontal plane.

• If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be exposed to water, you should install any connected cables with a drip loop to allow water to drip down off the cable and avoid damage to the stereo.

• If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, it must be mounted in a location far above the waterline, where it is not submerged.

• If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, it should be mounted in a location where it cannot be damaged by docks, pilings, or other pieces of equipment.

• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the stereo should be installed at least 15 cm (5.9 in.)

away from a

compass.

Mounting the Stereo

NOTICE

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.

Be careful when installing the stereo in an aluminum boat or a boat with a conductive hull, if you require the electrical system to be isolated from the boat hull.

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.

Trim the template and make sure it fits at the mounting location.

Adhere the template to the mounting surface.

Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill a hole inside the corner of the dashed line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.

Using a rotary-cutting tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the dashed line on the template.

Place the stereo in the cutout À to test the fit.

If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the cutout.

After the stereo fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the mounting holes on the stereo line up with the pilot holes on the template.

If the mounting holes on the stereo do not line up, mark the new pilot-hole locations.

Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface and screw type, drill the pilot holes.

Remove the template from the mounting surface.

Make the necessary wiring connections (Connection

Considerations,

page 2).

Select an option:

• If you are installing the stereo in a dry location, place the included mounting gasket Á 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.

Place the stereo into the cutout.

Secure the stereo to the mounting surface using the included screws Â.

You should hand-tighten the screws when securing the stereo to the mounting surface to avoid overtightening them.

Snap the screw covers in place Ã.

Connection Considerations

For the stereo to function correctly, you must connect it to power, to speakers, and to input sources. You should carefully plan the layout of the stereo, speakers, input sources, optional NMEA 2000

network, and optional

FUSION PartyBus™ devices

or network before making any connections.

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 signal 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 wire 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.

Route the yellow power À, red signal Á, 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.

Connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.

Complete an action:

• If you are routing the red wire through the ignition or another manual switch Ã, connect the red signal wire to the ignition or switch, install a 15 A fuse Ä on the yellow wire as close to the battery as possible, and connect the yellow wire to the positive (+) battery terminal.

• If you are not routing the red wire through the ignition or switch, connect 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.

Speaker Zones

You can group speakers in one area into speaker zones. 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.

Up to two pairs of speakers can be connected per channel of each zone, in parallel. A zone can support no more than four speakers using the on-board amplifier.

Zones 1 and 2 are powered by the on-board amplifier. To use the RCA line outputs and the RCA subwoofer outputs for zones 1 and 2, you must connect external amplifiers.

Zones 3 and 4 are available as line-level outputs only. To use the RCA line outputs and the RCA subwoofer outputs for zones 3 and 4, you must connect external amplifiers.

You can set the balance, volume limit, tone, subwoofer level, subwoofer frequency, and name for each zone.

Configuring an Optional Wired Remote

NOTICE

The stereo is configured by default to work with a NMEA 2000 network, and the

NRX POWER option should be enabled only when an optional remote is connected directly to the stereo. Enabling this option when the stereo is connected to a NMEA 2000 network may damage other devices on the NMEA 2000 network.

If you connect an optional wired NRX remote directly to the stereo, and not through a NMEA 2000

network , additional

configuration is needed.

Select > >

NMEA

Select an option:

• If you connected both your stereo and your optional wired remote to a NMEA 2000 network, make sure the NRX

POWER

option is not selected. This enables the optional

remote to receive power from the NMEA 2000 network.

• If you connected the optional wired remote directly to the stereo through the NMEA 2000

connector, select the NRX POWER option. This enables the stereo to supply power to the optional remote.

FUSION PartyBus Networking

The FUSION PartyBus networking feature allows you to connect multiple compatible stereos and zone stereos together on a network, using a combination of wired or wireless connections.

A FUSION PartyBus device connected to the network can stream sources from and control media playback on another FUSION PartyBus device connected to the network.

You can connect up to eight FUSION PartyBus devices on a network.

In the image above, a Apollo

RA770 stereo À connects to a

wireless router Á and to two

Apollo SRX400 zone stereos Â. You can connect a FUSION PartyBus zone stereo to a single speaker zone Ã. You can connect a FUSION PartyBus stereo to multiple speaker zones Ä to cover a larger area.

FUSION PartyBus devices connected to the network can stream media from and control media playback on other devices on the network, but cannot control the volume of other devices on the network. You can adjust the volume of speakers or speaker zones connected to the stereo only.

Wired Networking Considerations

When you are planning your network installation, observe the following considerations for all wired connections.

• Wired connections are more reliable than wireless

connections. When planning your network, you should use network cables to connect FUSION PartyBus devices to the network when possible.

• You must connect devices using standard Cat5e or Cat6

network cables with RJ45 connectors.

• You can use one network cable to directly connect two

compatible devices.

• You may need to use wired network switches and wired or

wireless network routers when you connect more than two compatible stereos to a network.

• If you install a router on the network, it should be configured

to be the DHCP server by default. See your router instructions for more information.

• If you do not install a router on the network, you must

configure one FUSION PartyBus device to be the DHCP server.

Wired Network Example for Direct Connections

You must configure one FUSION PartyBus device as a DCHP server when connecting two devices together directly.

Wireless Networking Considerations

When you are planning your network, observe the following considerations for all wireless connections.

• Wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections. You should plan your network to use network cables, but if it is not possible, FUSION PartyBus devices are Wi‑Fi® compatible. You can connect them to wireless routers or access points.

• You can configure a FUSION PartyBus device as a wireless access point, so you can connect devices within wireless range.

• If you install a wireless router on the network, it should be configured to be the DHCP server by default. See your wireless router instructions for more information.

• If you do not install a router or wireless router on the network, you must configure one FUSION PartyBus device to be the DHCP server.

• You can configure any FUSION PartyBus device on the wired network to be a wireless access point, even if you install a wireless router or additional wireless access points on the network. This would be useful to allow access to devices in range of the stereo but not in range of the other wireless access points.

• If you connect a FUSION PartyBus device to the network wirelessly, you cannot connect any additional wired FUSION PartyBus devices to that device.

• You can connect a smartphone to the wireless network to control any stereo on the network using the FUSION-Link

™

app.

Constructing a Network

You should have a basic understanding of networking when building a network for FUSION PartyBus devices.

These instructions guide you through the basics of building and configuring a network, and should apply to most situations. If you need to perform advanced networking tasks, such as assigning static IP addresses to devices on the network or configuring advanced settings on a connected router, you may need to consult a networking professional.

Determine the installation location of the FUSION PartyBus devices you want to connect to the network.

NOTE:

Wired connections are more reliable than wireless connections. When planning your network, you should run network cables instead of using wireless connections when possible.

Determine the installation location of any needed network routers or switches.

Route Cat5e or Cat6 network cable to the installation locations of the stereos, switches, and router.

Connect the network cables to the stereos, switches, and router.

NOTICE

Do not completely install the stereos yet. You should test the network before you install the stereos.

Turn on all devices connected to the network, including wireless devices.

Select an option:

• If you are not using a network router (wired or wireless),

configure one FUSION PartyBus device to be the DHCP

server (Setting the FUSION PartyBus Device as the

DHCP Server

, page 6). All other stereos should use

their default configuration (automatic IP).

• If you are using a network router (wired or wireless), consult the documentation provided with your router to configure the router as the DHCP server, if necessary. All stereos should use their default configuration (automatic IP).

Configure a stereo as a wireless access point, if necessary (Setting the FUSION PartyBus Device as a Wireless Access

Point

, page 6).

Configure a FUSION PartyBus stereo or zone stereo to connect to a wireless access point or router, if necessary (Connecting the FUSION PartyBus Device to a Wireless

Access Point, page 6)

Test the network by viewing the list of FUSION PartyBus devices from each device on the network and select an option:

• If any FUSION PartyBus devices are not available to the network, troubleshoot the network (Network

Troubleshooting, page 7)

• If all FUSION PartyBus devices are available to the network, complete the installation for each stereo, if necessary.
