4 Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface and screw type, drill the pilot holes.
5 Remove the template from the mounting surface.
6 Complete an action:
• If you are installing the remote control in a dry location, place the included mounting gasket on the
back of the remote control.
• If you are installing the remote control 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.
7 If you are using the spacer accessory, install the gasket or sealant on the back of the spacer.
8 If you will not have access to the back of the remote control after installation, connect the network/power
cable to the back of the remote control, and tighten the locking ring.
9 If you are using the spacer accessory, install the spacer and gasket or sealant between the mounting surface
and the remote control.
Refer to the diagram that came with the spacer.
10 Secure the remote control to the mounting surface using the included screws .
11 Snap the screw covers in place .
Power and Network Considerations
If you must extend the power and ground wires, you must use the appropriate gauge of wires. 18 AWG
(0.82 mm
2
) wires are suitable for most installations.
If you must extend the network cable, extension cables and couplers are available. See your Garmin
®
dealer for
details.
This remote control can either connect to a single stereo, such as an MS-RA770, or it can connect to the Fusion
PartyBus
™
network to view and control all of the stereos on the network.
You can use this example to help plan a basic Fusion PartyBus network. If you need information about
creating a more advanced network with additional stereos and devices, see the installation instructions for
your compatible stereo.
