Installation Precautions
•
This unit operates on an automotive 12-volt negative
ground power source and requires additional mobile audio
and video components for proper operation.
•
Before installation, disconnect the (–) negative lead from
the vehicle’s battery.
•
Use only supplied screws and hardware. Make sure all
connections and components are fastened securely.
•
At the proposed installation sites, make sure there is ade-
quate space to accommodate both MSS430 and the
Control Station dimensions.
•
Use extreme caution when drilling around electrical
wiring, brake lines, and fuel lines. Check clearances on
both sides of a planned installation surface before drilling
any holes or installing any screws.
•
Always wear protective eyewear when using tools.
•
Use only high-quality RCA cables that are no longer than
necessary for direct connections to other components in
the system. Extra-length audio and video cables can
cause signal loss and act as an “antenna” for noise.
•
When routing RCA cables, keep them away from power
cables and output speaker wires.
Operation Precautions
•
Do not allow liquids or foreign objects to enter the
MSS430 Multistation A/V Selector or Control Station(s).
•
If any unit should become wet, turn off all power and let
your authorized Clarion dealer clean or service the equip-
ment.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR SERVICE THE
MSS430 OR CONTROL STATIONS. THE INTER-
NAL PARTS ARE NOT USER-SERVICEABLE.
DOING SO WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
•
Do not place heavy objects on the MSS430 Multistation
A/V Selector or Control Station(s).
