9. With the handle assembly in the UNLOCKED position (out in front of
the control unit), insert the radio into the cassette assembly. Slide the
radio into the cassette assembly until the back of the radio meets the back
of the cassette assembly.
NOTE
Caution should be used while engaging the radio in the
cassette the first few times until the cabling in the cassette
mount assembly has settled into its permanent location. To
insure proper first time engagement, the following procedure
should be followed:
Insert radio into cassette mount opening and slide in until
some spring resistance is felt. Holding the handle, move the
radio gently from side to side until the unit locates the
necessary connectors. Engage the radio handle in the sheet
metal hooks, which protrude from the lower corners of the
cassette mount casing. Rotate the handle upward to fully
engage the radio. See Figure 37. DO NOT FORCE THE
CONNECTOR ENGAGEMENT.
If the radio does not engage using the above method, a large
flat blade screwdriver may be used to slightly re-position the
37-pin connector.
10. Recheck all connections and cables before inserting fuse into transmit
fuse assembly.
