Note: The following preparation instructions are for use by your KENWOOD dealer, an authorized
KENWOOD service facility, or the factory.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Note: Before installing the terminal, always check how far the mounting screws will extend below the
mounting surface. When drilling mounting holes, be careful not to damage vehicle wiring or parts.
The following tools are required for installing the terminal:
• 6 mm (1/4 inch) or larger electric drill
• 4.2 mm (5/32 inch) drill bit for the self-tapping screws
INSTALLING THE TERMINAL
For passenger safety, install the terminal securely, using the supplied mounting brackets, so the
terminal will not break loose in the event of a collision.
1Mark the position of the holes in the dash by using the base mounting bracket
as a template. Drill the holes, then attach the base mounting bracket using
the supplied self-tapping screws.
• Be sure to mount the terminal in a location where the controls are within easy
reach of the user.
2Connect the rear mounting bracket to the back of the terminal using the
supplied screws.
3Connect the terminal cable to the mobile unit.
• The mobile unit must have the optional KCT-34 or KCT-35
cable installed. The appropriate cable depends on the
transceiver type.
• An optional KCT-36 extension cable (12 feet/ 3 m)
is also avaible.
4Secure the terminal to the mounting bracket
using the supplied rear adjustment screws.
• Adjust the angle of the terminal before
tightening the screws, so that you
can easily view the display and
panel keys.
