PLEASE OBSERVE THESE PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
THIS UN IT:
This user’s manual does not cover the installation process. Please review
the Installation and Assembly Manual included in your Radio Motor box
carefully before attempting installation.
Retro Manufacturing, LLC is not liable for any problems resulting
from improper installation of the unit.
If you have questions about installing your radio, visit our support website
at help.retromanufacturing.com, contact us via email at tech@
retromanufacturing.com or chat with us online.
• This unit is designed for operation with a negative ground 12-volt
DC battery system. Do not operate this unit with other battery
systems, especially an 18-volt or 24-volt DC or a positive ground
system. If you have a 6-volt system, you need to either convert to
12-volt DC or purchase a separate inverter that will increase the
voltage to 12-volts. NOTE: The inverter needs to be rated at 10
amps or higher for the radio to operate properly.

not use the unit where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive
dust. Exposure to moisture will damage the unit and void your

• Keep the volume of your radio at a level that allows you to hear
outside noises, such as emergency sirens and train crossing
warnings. Prolonged exposure to high volume levels may also
result in hearing loss.

IMPORTANT: Control Setup & Reset
By default, RetroSound® Radio Motors are configured to function with the
standard Radio Faces listed above. Some Radio Faces, like the Redondo-

for approximately 15 seconds to reboot the radio into the SEL PANEL
menu. Once in the SEL PANEL menu, press and release the power
button until the correct panel/control mode is displayed (select "Normal"
for standard 2-shaft/push-button controls). Let the unit time out to
accept the changes. The display will flash five times and reboot with the
selected control mode activated.
These instructions are for all Radio Faces with 2 control shafts and push-
buttons including: Dallas, Daytona, Denver, Detroit, Europa, Huntington,
Monterey, Redondo-RS, RetroRadio, Wonder Bar I, and Wonder Bar III.
For radios with alternate control layouts please see links at the bottom of
