INSTALLATION
Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.
Universal Installation Using Mounting Sleeve
1.
Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis if it has not already been removed. If it is locked
into position, use the removal keys (supplied) to disengage it.
2.
Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is not
large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening.
Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check that there will be
sufficient space behind the dashboard for 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 to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.
4.
Place the unit in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the
mounting sleeve.
5.
Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and
insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.
6.
After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle ignition
switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the problem is
corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn the ignition switch off and proceed with
final mounting of the chassis.
7.
Carefully slide the unit into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is fully
seated and the spring clips lock it into place.
8.
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, as necessary, to position it.
CAUTION: The rear of the unit must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the
dashboard from the weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration.
9.
Test operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.
