INSTALLATION AND OPERATION PRECAUTIONS

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).
