ARX70 remote control, press and hold
until the status LED starts alternating green and red.
The remote control searches for the stereo. When the remote control pairs successfully, the status LED turns on green briefly and then turns off.
If the remote control cannot find the stereo, the status LED turns on red briefly and then turns off.
Fusion Audio Wireless Remote Control App
You can use the Fusion Audio remote control app on your compatible Apple® or Android™ device to adjust the stereo volume, change the source, control playback, select and manage radio presets, and adjust some stereo settings.You can use the app to set up and configure DSP profiles on the stereo.You can use the app to update the stereo software.
The app communicates with the stereo using a wireless connection to the mobile device. You must connect your compatible device to the stereo using Bluetooth® or Wi‑Fi® technology to use the app.
If the stereo is connected to a network with a Wi‑Fi access point, the app can communicate with the stereo using the network for greater range than a Bluetooth connection.
For information about the Fusion Audio remote control app for compatible Apple or Android devices, go to the Apple App Store℠ or the Google Play™ store.
Fusion Stereo Network Connection and Control
When connected using a supported networking method, you can fully control compatible Fusion entertainment systems on compatible multi-function displays installed at the helm, flybridge, or navigation station of the vessel. This provides integrated entertainment control and a less cluttered console.
The connected multi-function display becomes the portal on which you can control all audio on the vessel, no matter where on the vessel the connected stereo is installed. The compatible Fusion stereo can be installed out of sight if space is an issue and users need to access the stereo only to replace removable media.
This device can communicate with a compatible multi-function display using existing industry-standard NMEA 2000® networks.
NMEA 2000 Remote Control and Display
The stereo can be controlled by compatible Fusion wired remote controls installed in the audio zones throughout the vessel. Operating the entertainment system from the remote control is similar to operating it from the main stereo.
Fusion wired remote controls operate over an existing NMEA 2000 network, so wiring the remote controls directly to the stereo is not necessary. All remote controls connected to the same NMEA 2000 network as the stereo can control the stereo.
The Fusion wired remote control can also serve as an NMEA® display showing NMEA navigation data or vessel performance data from other NMEA devices on an existing NMEA 2000 network. See the instructions provided with your remote control for information on supported NMEA 2000 PGN information.
NMEA 2000 Information
NMEA 2000 is the most popular marine standard for data communication within vessels. It has become the standard for sending navigation and engine management data within vessels. Fusion introduces an industry-first product by incorporating NMEA 2000 functionality in its audio remote control devices. This enables the user to monitor relevant NMEA 2000 Parameter Group Number (PGN) data available over the NMEA 2000 network on a connected NRX series remote control.
