Handling CD or DVD disc’s (MS-AV700i model only)

•Avoid touching the surface of the disc.

•Avoid exposing the disc to direct sunlight.

Care and Maintenance

As with all products exposed to the harsh marine environment, a little care will help preserve the finish. FUSION recommends that you clean any salt water and/ or salt residue from the stereo with a damp cloth soaked in fresh water.

Most marine Stereo’s have small vents in their cases to allow a way out for moisture that finds its way in. In some limited instances it is possible for moist air to be drawn into the vents when the air inside the Stereo cools down after it is turned off. Direct sunlight on the front can draw this moisture up against the Window, causing fogging. Turning on the Stereo will speed up moisture removal. Fogging is not abnormal, nor will it harm your Stereo, which is built to withstand the harsh marine environment.
