MA400 3 SAFETY INFORMATION When Boating Keep the volume level low enough to be aware of your surroundings. Protect from Water Do not submerge or expose the product directly to water, as this can cause electrical shorts, fire or other damage Protect from High Temperatures Exposure to direct sunlight for an extended period of time can produce very high temperatures inside your vessel. Give the interior a chance to cool down before starting playback. Do not mount radio with close proximity of engine compartment. Use the Proper Power Supply This product is designed to operate with a 12 volt DC negative ground battery system. WARNING:  DO NOT OPEN, DISASSEMBLE OR ALTER THE UNIT IN ANYWAY. Doing so may result in fire, electric shock or product damage.  USE THE CORRECT AMPERE RATING WHEN REPLACING FUSE. Failure to do so may result in fire, electric shock or product damage.  DO NOT INSTALL IN LOCATIONS THAT MIGHT HINDER VEHICLE OPERATION. Doing so may obstruct vision or hamper movement which can result in a serious accident.  INSTALL THE WIRING SO THAT IT IS NOT CRIMPED OR PINCHED BY SCREWS OR SHARP METAL EDGES. Route the cables away from moving parts or sharp pointed edges. This will prevent crimping and damage to the wiring. If the wiring must pass through a metal hole, be sure to use a rubber grommet to prevent the wire’s insulation from being cut by the metal edge of the hole. It is also recommended to apply sealing caulk to any opening that may potentially allow water to enter.  Be sure to choose a location that is flat and has clearance above the unit to prevent any damage, as well as allow for ventilation  Before drilling any holes, carefully inspect the area underneath and behind the mounting surface where the devices will be mounted to make sure it will not interfere with existing wires, fuel lines, the fuel tank or any other objects that could be damaged.  Always disconnect the vehicle negative battery terminal to prevent accidental shorting during installation.
MA400 4 INSTALLATION Before you Begin Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal. Important Notes  Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected properly and the system works.  Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.  Consult with your nearest dealer prior if installation required the drilling of holes or other modifications to your vessel.  Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers if there is a sudden or emergency stop.  Avoid installing the unit where it will be subject to high temperatures from direct sunlight, hot air, or from a heater, or where it would be subject to excessive dust, dirt or vibration.

MA400 10 Weather Band Operation What is the NOAA Weather Radio/Weatheradio Canada? NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is a nationwide system that broadcasts local weather emergency information 24 hours a day via the National Weather Service (NWS) network. The U.S. network has more than 530 stations covering the 50 states as well as the adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacific Territories. Each local area has its own transmitting station and there are a total of seven broadcasting frequencies used. A similar system is available in Canada under the Weatheradio Canada service administered by Environment Canada. Tuning to Weatherband Press and hold the BAND/WB button (9) to access the Weatherband. The indication "WB" will appear on the display panel, along with the current number and channel indication: "WB-1", WB-2", "WB-3", "WB-4", "WB-5", "WB-6" or "WB-7". The seven frequencies are shown in the following table: Table 1: WB Frequencies Frequency (MHz) Preset 162.400 2 162.425 4 162.450 5 162.475 3 162.500 6 162.525 - 162.550 1 The above table also shows which preset button will access the frequency. Note that one frequency cannot be accessed using a preset button. The frequency can only be reached using the tuning controls. Use the ►►/ ◄◄ buttons (15, 13) or the preset buttons to tune to each of the seven channels until you find the weatherband station broadcasting in your area. How many stations can I expect to receive? Since the broadcasts are local weather and information, the transmission power is usually very low (much less than standard AM or FM stations) so you will usually receive only one station unless you are on the edge of two or more broadcast signals. The most you will receive will be two or three, and that is rare. Is it possible I won't receive any stations? Depending on where you are located, there is a possibility you will receive only a very weak signal or none at all. Also, similar to AM and FM signals, weatherband signals are subject to surrounding conditions, weather, obstructions of the signal by hills or mountains, etc.

MA400 19 CARE AND MAINTENANCE  Keep the product dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.  Keep the product away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.  Handle the product gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases, and can cause the product to work improperly.  Wipe the product with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the product.  Use and store the product only in normal temperature environments. High temperature can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts. Ignition The most common source of noise in reception is the ignition system. This is a result of the radio being placed close to the ignition system (engine). This type of noise can be easily detected because it will vary in intensity of pitch with the speed of the engine. Usually, the ignition noise can be suppressed considerably by using a radio suppression type high voltage ignition wire and suppressor resistor in the ignition system. (Most vessels employ this wire and resistor but it may be necessary to check them for correct operation.) Another method of suppression is the use of additional noise suppressors. These can be obtained from most CB/A radio or electronic supply shops. Interference Radio reception in a moving environment is very different from reception in a stationary environment (home). It is very important to understand the difference. AM reception will deteriorate when passing under a bridge or when passing under high voltage lines. Although AM is subject to environmental noise, it has the ability to receive at great distance. This is because broadcasting signals follow the curvature of the earth and are reflected back by the upper atmosphere. TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom Cause Solution No power The vessel’s accessory switch is not on If the power supply is properly connected to the vessel’s accessory terminal, switch the ignition key to “ACC” Fuse is blown Replace the fuse No sound Volume too low Adjust volume to audible level Wiring is not properly connected Check wiring connections The operation keys do not work The built-in microcomputer is not operating properly due to noise Press the RESET button Cannot tune to radio station, auto-seek does not work The antenna cable is not connected Insert the antenna cable firmly Signals are too weak.
