IMPORTANT! Before mounting be sure there is sufficient room to accommodate the unit and that there is sufficient ventilation.

Before installing the unit, connect the wiring temporarily making sure the system works properly.

Only use the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation.

Receiver should be mounted within 30 (+ or 15) from Horizontal. If installation angle exceeds 30 from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum performance.

Avoid installing the unit where it would be subject to high temperatures such as direct sunlight or hot air from heaters or the engine or where it would be subject to dust, dirt or excessive vibration.

Use the template provided to make the cutout.

Be sure to mount the unit to a strong, solid surface which will not give way under the stress of waves pounding the hull.

Step 1) Remove the mounting sleeve

B U T T O N D E S C R I P T I O N

Blue Wire - This wire outputs a 12V signal when the MR45 turns on. It is used to remotely turn on external amplifiers. Notes:

Use the included plug/wire bundle to connect to the power source and speakers.

The Yellow, Red and Black power wires should be 14AWG or larger depending on the length to the battery. NEVER operate the unit without the proper power and ground wire.

NEVER ground the speaker leads and NEVER allow the speaker leads to come in contact with each other. The speaker wire should be at least 16 gauge or larger. Be sure to observe the correct polarity on the speaker connections

Use quality crimp connectors to connect wires together. Seal the connection well with electrical tape.

NEVER operate the unit without proper fusing. Fuse holder must be located within 2 feet from the battery. This fuse is to protect the vessel, not the electronics. In case of a short, the fuse will blow instead of the wire burning up. Using other than the recommended fuse ratings at the battery and at the unit may cause damage to the unit and will void your warranty.

Whenever possible, use cable ties, mounting clamps and similar wiring aids. Adding stress relief loop to wiring is also advisable to prevent straining or breakage.

If after reading the directions you feel uncomfortable about installing the unit, or not equipped or competent to do so, you should have this installed by an authorized installer
