Why is my Fusion MS-RA60 Bluetooth audio interrupted?
If your Fusion Boating Equipment's Bluetooth audio is cutting out, try these steps: * Make sure that there are no obstructions between your media player and the stereo, as Bluetooth works best with a clear line of sight. * Keep your media player within 10 meters (33 feet) of the stereo. * After pairing, disable the DISCOVERABLE setting on the stereo.
What to do if my Fusion MS-RA60 stereo does not respond to key presses?
If your Fusion Boating Equipment stereo isn't responding when you press the keys, you can try to reset it. You can either hold the power button until the stereo turns off and then turn it back on, or you can disconnect the power to the stereo for two minutes before reconnecting it.
How to fix Fusion Boating Equipment if it does not receive DAB stations?
If your Fusion Boating Equipment stereo isn't picking up DAB stations, make sure that the stereo is set to a tuner region where DAB stations are broadcast. To improve DAB reception, you can connect a third-party powered DAB antenna.

This document describes the Fusion MS-RA60 marine stereo, an audio system designed for marine environments. It provides comprehensive instructions for operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting the device, ensuring users can maximize its features for an enhanced audio experience on the water.
The Fusion MS-RA60 serves as a central audio hub, offering multiple source options for playback. Users can enjoy music from various sources, including AM/FM radio, DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) radio, auxiliary devices, and Bluetooth-connected media players. The stereo is equipped with an on-board Class D amplifier, providing robust audio output for multiple speaker zones. Its design emphasizes ease of use, with intuitive controls and a clear display screen that presents essential information such as track details, elapsed time, and source selection.
One of the primary functions of the MS-RA60 is its ability to play audio from a variety of sources. For traditional radio listening, the stereo supports both AM and FM bands. Users can tune into their preferred stations, save them as presets for quick access, and adjust the tuner region to ensure optimal reception in their specific location. The device also supports DAB radio, offering access to digital radio stations where available. Similar to AM/FM, DAB stations can be scanned, selected from lists or categories, and saved as presets. The stereo's ability to automatically switch between ensembles when reaching the end of a current one enhances the DAB listening experience.
Bluetooth connectivity is a key feature of the MS-RA60, allowing users to wirelessly stream audio from compatible mobile devices. The stereo can pair with up to eight Bluetooth media devices, enabling playback control directly from the stereo's interface. While track browsing is typically managed on the connected media device, the stereo provides controls for skipping tracks, pausing, and resuming playback. The device also supports displaying song information such as title, artist, and track duration, depending on the capabilities of the media player and application. For optimal Bluetooth performance, a clear line of sight between the stereo and the connected device within a 10-meter (33 ft.) range is recommended. The "DISCOVERABLE" setting, which makes the stereo visible for pairing, automatically disables after two minutes to prevent unintended interruptions.
Beyond wireless streaming, the MS-RA60 includes an auxiliary input, allowing for wired connections to various audio devices. This feature accommodates devices with RCA connectors, line outputs, or headphone output jacks, providing flexibility for connecting older or non-Bluetooth compatible equipment. Users simply connect their auxiliary device to the AUX IN 1 RCA connectors on the wiring harness and select the AUX source on the stereo. The stereo also offers gain adjustment for the connected auxiliary source, allowing users to balance audio levels.
The stereo's control interface is designed for straightforward operation. A central dial is used for adjusting volume, switching between speaker zones, navigating menus, and selecting options. Dedicated buttons provide quick access to essential functions such as opening menus, returning to previous screens, changing sources, and controlling playback (previous/next track, play/pause). The power button also serves to mute/unmute the stereo with a short press and to turn it off with a long press. Text entry for settings like device naming is facilitated through the dial, allowing users to select characters and save their input.
Audio customization is another significant aspect of the MS-RA60. Users can adjust the volume for individual zones or all zones simultaneously. The subwoofer level can also be fine-tuned from the source screen, providing control over bass output. The stereo offers tone adjustments for bass, mid, and treble, allowing users to personalize their sound profile. Additionally, the "PHONE VOLUME SYNC" feature enables synchronization of volume control with a connected Bluetooth device for selected zones.
The MS-RA60 integrates with the Fusion-Link ecosystem, offering enhanced control options. Users can connect the stereo to compatible Garmin watches via the Fusion-Link Lite app, allowing for remote control of audio playback. Similarly, the stereo can be controlled by an ARX70 remote control, providing convenient access to functions from a distance. For more comprehensive control, the Fusion-Link Wireless Remote Control App, available for Apple and Android devices, allows users to adjust volume, change sources, manage radio presets, and even update stereo software via a Bluetooth connection.
Maintenance of the MS-RA60 is simple, primarily involving routine cleaning. The device should be wiped gently with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth dampened with fresh water. This helps preserve its appearance and functionality in the marine environment.
Troubleshooting guidance is provided for common issues. If the stereo is unresponsive, users can try holding the power button to turn it off and on again, or disconnect power for two minutes to reset it. For Bluetooth audio interruptions, ensuring the media player is unobstructed, within range, and disabling the "DISCOVERABLE" setting after pairing are recommended steps. If song information is not fully displayed, it's noted that this depends on the media player's capabilities. To reduce unexpected noise from electrical interference, adding clip-on ferrite beads to cables, disconnecting unused AUX input cables, and contacting tech support are suggested. For DAB reception issues, verifying the tuner region setting and connecting a powered DAB antenna are key recommendations.
The MS-RA60 also offers various general settings for customization. These include managing speaker zones, adjusting LCD backlight brightness and contrast, enabling a power-save mode, setting a custom device name, changing the language, and performing a factory reset. The "ABOUT" section provides information on the stereo's software version.
