Model: MS-21 In-wall Streaming A/V Receiver
The MS-21 has been designed to be used in residential, commercial, and the RV environments. The MS-21 is built on an
automotive platform with its associated ruggedness and reliability. It uses the Android GO operating system for efciency.
Due to the automotive platform, many automotive features are present in the device. You will occasionally see references
to automotive applications, especially in the setup menus. However, unlike other automotive systems, the MS-21 utilizes
WiFi to connect to the internet and local area networks.
Full operation of this device requires a reliable 2.4GHz WiFi network connection and internet service through an
internet service provider (ISP). No Ethernet port connectivity is provided. You may connect to a mobile Hot Spot.
Due to the limited bandwidth of 2.4GHz WiFi, it is recommended that the user installs a reliable WiFi network,
with multiple access points if necessary, and that a wireless access point (AP) be located within a relatively short
distance of the unit. If no cabling is available for multiple APs then a Triband Mesh Network may be the best option.
WiFi “range extenders” are not recommended. Most WiFi related problems are due to network congestion and an
insufcient number of APs to handle the network trafc.
Note: If you are controlling devices on your network, such as thermostats, lights, etc., ensure that they are all on the
same 2.4GHz network. Download and install the appropriate Apps for your devices.
Without an internet connection, this device will provide AM/FM radio and local playback of digital les, either
internal or through the Micro SD and USB inputs, and Bluetooth playback of whatever content the user can stream
from their personal devices.

»Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system
is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code. ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. (See Figure 1)
Notes
a. Use No. 10 AWG copper or No. 8 AWG aluminum or No. 17 AWG copperplate steel or bronze wire, or larger as
ground wires for both mast and lead-in.
b. Secure lead-in wire from antenna to antenna discharge unit and mast ground wire to house with stand-off
insulators, space from 4 feet (1.22 meters) to 6 feet (1.83 meters) apart
c. Mount antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters house.
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
»Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be
taken so that objects do not fall and liquids
are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.
»Damage Requiring Service - The appliance
should be serviced by qualied service
personnel when:
a) The power supply cord or the plug has been
damaged; or
b) Objects have fallen, or liquid has been
spilled into the appliance; or
c) The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
d) The appliance has been dropped, or the
enclosure damaged.
“CAUTION - Use of controls or adjustments
or performance of procedures other than
specied herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure”

Using the Installation Kit (MS-21-IK)
The MS-21 can be connected and operated from any 12-15V DC power source. For in-wall installations
using 110-250V AC, where the power supply will be installed in the wall, the MS-21-IK must be used since it
contains an installation frame and power supply with 4.2mm mini connector that is safety rated for in-wall
installations. No other power supply is designed for this application.
Follow the instructions that come with the MS-21-IK or download them from www.oemsystems.com.

Connections
Almost all connections are made using multipin connectors. These speed up the nal installation.
All connectors are unique in size so that they cannot be interchanged. For reference, the chart below
shows the connector assignments.
There is a zip tie provided with the MS-21 installation kit. This zip tie can be
used to support all the wiring coming into or leaving the MS-21.
INSTALLATION
Antennas
The AM/FM and GPS antenna are connected at the rear panel. The AM/FM antenna can be dangled or attached
within the interior of the wall. For improved performance, an attic-mounted or external antenna can be used. It
may be necessary to purchase a Motorola to F-connector adapter when using a supplemental antenna.
The GPS antenna has a magnetic attachment or an adhesive backing. If adhesive, peel the protective lm and
attach the antenna to the interior of the wall, either above or below the cut-out opening. Either attachment
method may also be used to attach antenna next to the power input connector on the rear panel of the MS-21.
Miscellaneous Connections
Make any accessory connections such as Auxiliary A/V inputs and outputs, subwoofer, cameras, USB, etc. The
short pigtails can be disconnected from the rear panel to make connection easier. There is a tab on each of the
connectors that must be pressed to release each of the pigtail adapters.

Power Connector
Showing Polarity.
Power
Insert Mini power connector from MS-21-IK power supply into the Rear Panel.
The connector is polarized so that it cannot be installed incorrectly. This will be
the last connection you make as you install the MS-21 into the wall.

Follow the instructions supplied with the MS-21-IK (Installation Kit).
The hole is cut to the width of the studs, but not greater than 15.5" (394mm) or less than 14" (355mm),
since this is the acceptable range in which the unit will t.
The required height of the opening is 6.5" (165mm).

It is recommended that you predrill the mounting holes using a 3/32" (2.5mm) bit. Use the MS-21
as a template to mark the holes, ensuring the unit is level.

Press the supplied caps (x4) into the holes to cover the screws. Extra caps
are provided.
The caps can be removed by placing a sticky piece of tape or similar onto
the cap and pulling slowly outward. Alternatively, driving a sharp screw
into the cap and pulling outward is a method that works, but this damages
the screw cap.
After making all the necessary connections, use the 4 supplied Torx®screws
and supplied Torx driver to secure the unit to the wall. It is recommended that
you predrill the holes using a 3/32" (2.5mm) bit. Use care to keep the tip of the
driver from slipping out of the screw. Use of other screw types could lead to
damage of the MS-21 if the driver slips out.
