INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks, and vans with an existing radio opening. In many cases, a special
installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics supply
stores and car stereo specialist shops. Always check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit
works with your vehicle. If you need a kit but cannot find it available, call our toll-free “HELP” line at
1-800-645-4994.
UNIVERSALINSTALLATIONPROCEDUREUSINGMOUNTINGSLEEVE
1. Removethedetachablefrontpanelifitisattachedtothechassis bypushingthe “Release”button.Slide themount-
ing sleeve off of the chassis. If it is locked into position, use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.
2.Checkthedashboardopeningsizebyslidingthemountingsleeveintoit.Iftheopeningisnotlargeenough,carefully
cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the open-
ingorcause it to bend or bow. Checkthatthere will be sufficient space behind thedashboardfor the radio chassis.
3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom, and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully
inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary so that the sleeve is
firmly secured to the dashboard.
4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so that the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.
Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections of the wiring harness are secure and
insulated with wire nuts or electrical tape to insure proper operation of the unit. After completing the wiring
connections, attach the front panel and turn the unit on to confirm operation (ignition switch must be “on”).
If unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn
off the ignition switch and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.
5. Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is fully seated and the
spring clips lock it into place.
6. Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis using
the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the perforated strap to a secure part of the dashboard either
above or below the radio using the screw and hex nut provided. Bend the strap to position it as necessary.
CAUTION: The rear of the radio must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the dashboard from
the weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration.
7. Re-attach the front panel to the chassis and test radio operation by referring to the Operating Instructions for
the unit.
INSTALLATIONUSINGKITS
1. If your vehicle requires the use of an installation kit to mount this radio, follow the instructions included with
the installation kit to attach the radio to the mounting plate supplied with the kit.
2. Wire and test the radio as described in Step 4 above.
3. Install the radio/mounting plate assembly to the sub-dashboard according to the instructions of the installation kit.
4. Attach the support strap to the radio and dashboard as described in Step 6 above.
