Instructions
Important Safety Information
WARNING
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.
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.
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 8-gauge, self-tapping screws
• Two screw covers
• Power and speaker wiring harness
• Auxiliary-in, line-out, and subwoofer-out wiring harnesses
• Dust cover
• 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 20 cm (7.87 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.
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
1
location.
Adhere the template to the mounting surface.
2
Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill a
3
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
4
the inside of the dashed line on the template.
Place the stereo in the cutout to test the fit.
5
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
• 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 of
the horizontal plane.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that may be
exposed to water, the cable should have a drip loop to allow
water to drip down off the cable and avoid damage to the
stereo.
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
6
the cutout.
After the stereo fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the
7
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
8
new pilot-hole locations.
Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface
9
and screw type, drill the pilot holes.
Remove the template from the mounting surface.

Make the necessary wiring connections (Connection

• 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.
Place the stereo into the cutout.
13
Secure the stereo to the mounting surface using the included
14
screws .
You should hand-tighten the screws when securing the
stereo to the mounting surface to avoid overtightening them.
Snap the screw covers in place .

Wiring Harness Wire and Connector Identification
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.

If you are installing the stereo on a boat with a metal
hull, you must use a ground-dependent antenna. If
you are installing the stereo on a boat with a nonmetal hull, you must use a ground-independent
antenna. See the installation instructions provided
