INSTALLATION WARNING

Caution! The MS-RA50 is designed for vessels with a 12V 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 AM/FM marine antenna (ground independent). Please refer to the following site for further info: www.pacificaerials.co.nz
