CONTROLLING IPOD PLAYBACK

INSTALLATION WARNING

Selecting tracks from a playlist

Caution! The MS-RA50 is designed for vessels with a 12V DC Negative ground electrical

system.

There can be thousands of tracks stored on an iPod, so you need to select the tracks you wish

to play from one of the groupings available (such as Playlists, Artists, Albums). For example, to

select tracks by artist:

•

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.

Press Menu

Press Menu to

exit. See “Menu

Key Operation”

on page 5.

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.

Controlling Playback

Note: Ensure the Aerial cable is routed away from any power cables, and is the minimal
