What's In the Box
• Two mounting plates
• Four M4 Phillips screws
• Two screw covers
• Template
Tools Needed
• Rotary cutting tool, utility knife, or file
• Phillips screwdriver
• Silicone-based marine sealant (optional)
Mounting Considerations
You can use this kit to install a FUSION
Apollo RA770 stereo in a single-DIN opening
or if you are replacing a previous FUSION
stereo, such as a MS-UD/AV650/755 stereo.
The metal brackets in this kit hold the stereo
in place from behind the mounting surface.
To allow for clearance of the screws from the
stereo to the mounting plates, you may need
to remove some existing material from the
dashboard by following these installation
instructions.
NOTE: The dust cover included with the
Apollo RA770 is not compatible when using
larger screw covers included in this kit.
Installing the Stereo Using the
Mounting Kit
1
If necessary, remove the existing stereo
from the dashboard, and clean the
surface of any existing gaskets or marine
sealant.
2
2
Place the included template over the
opening and observe the location of the
Apollo RA770 stereo mounting holes in
relation to the existing opening on the
dashboard.
3
Select an option:
• If the existing opening allows
clearance for the stereo mounting
holes, remove the template and
proceed to step 7.
• If the existing opening does not allow
clearance for the stereo mounting
holes, proceed to the next step.
4
Using the template as a guide, remove
material from the dashboard around the
screw locations with a rotary cutting
tool, utility knife, or a file.
NOTICE
Make sure you remove only enough
material to allow the screws clearance,
because there is not significant space
between the screws and the edge of the
stereo. Removing excess dashboard
material may be visible after installation,
and could allow for unwanted water
ingress.
5
Place the stereo in the opening to test the
screw clearance.
When you can look through all four
mounting holes on the stereo and not see
any dashboard material, you have
prepared the dashboard correctly.
6
If necessary, use a file to refine the
shape or size of the screw clearance
area.
7
Select an option:
• If you are installing the stereo in a dry
location, place the mounting gasket
(included in the stereo box) on the
back of the stereo.
• If you are installing the stereo 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 mounting gasket if
you applied sealant to the mounting
surface. Using sealant and the
mounting gasket may reduce water
resistance.
