Item
Description
ANT
Connects the stereo to a typical AM/FM antenna using an RF coaxial
connector.
If you are installing the stereo on a boat with a metal hull, you must use
a ground-dependent antenna, and if you are installing the stereo on a
boat with a non-metal hull, you must use a ground-independent antenna.
See the installation instructions provided with your antenna for more
information.
SXM
Connects to a SiriusXM
tuner to receive SiriusXM channels where

available (not included).
NMEA
Connects the stereo to a NMEA 2000 network (NMEA 2000 System
Wiring Diagram, page 4).
USB
Connects the stereo to a USB source.
FUSE
Contains the fuse for the device.
See the device specifications for replacement fuse information.

Black
Connects to the negative terminal of a 12 Vdc
power source capable of supplying 15 A. This
wire should be connected before connecting
the red (or yellow) wire. All accessories
connected to the stereo must share a common
ground location.
Blue
Connects to an optional external amplifier to
turn it on when the stereo turns on.
Brown
Activates when connected to ground.
For example, when connected to a compatible
hands-free mobile kit, the audio mutes or the
input switches to AUX when a call is received
and the kit connects this wire to ground. This
functionality can be configured from the
settings menu.
Orange
Connects to the boat's illumination wire to dim
the stereo screen when the lights are on.
The gauge of the illumination wire must be
suitable for the fuse supplying the circuit it is
connected to.
