1.2.1Connection of Power Cable
First of all, please check whether there is a hole for the power
cable on the insulating board. If no, please bore the board with
the suitable drill bit and fix a rubber grommet on it.
Afterwards, please have the cable pass through the insulating
board and lead from the car into the car engine. Connect the red
conductor to the positive terminal of the accumulator and the black
conductor to the negative terminal.
At last, ring the remained conductor and fix it.
Note: Please maintain the sufficient relaxation of the power
cable to make it convenient to dismantle the radio in the
state of power connection.
1.2.2Radio Installing
Warning: For passengers' safety, please fix the radio firmly
on the fixed bracket so that the radio will not be loosened in
case of collision.
The fixed bracket is taken as an example. Draw the position
and drill a hole on the instrument panel first, and then install
the fixed bracket with 4 M5*16 self-tapping screws. (Note:
please fix the radio at the position convenient for
operation and control, and leave an enough space for
fixation and connection of the cable.)
Slide the radio into the fixed bracket and fix it with 4 M4*10
combination screws (plus plain washer and spring
washer).
(Different combinations of fixing holes are selectable to
adjust the radio to the proper height and visual angle.)
