INSTALLATION
RUNNING CABLES
To assure the feasibility of cable routes you plan to use, it is suggested that
you run these cables before installing the radio. Be sure to leave some slack in
each cable so that the radio may be pulled out for servicing with the power
applied.
Route the cables away from locations where they will be exposed to heat
(exhaust pipes, mufflers, tailpipes, etc.), battery acid, sharp edges, or
mechanical damage, or where they will be a nuisance to automobile mechanics,
the driver, or passengers. Keep wiring away from ignition circuits to help
prevent noise pickup on the radio equipment.
In addition, try to utilize existing holes in the fire wall and trunk wall and
the channels above or beneath the doors. You may also use the channels through
door and window columns, where they are convenient, unless you plan to
install rigid or flexible conduit in which to run the cables.
RUNNING THE POWER CABLE
The power cable consists of a red lead, and a black lead, a 2 pin systems
plug, and an in-line fuseholder. A 10 ampere 32 volt fuse is included.
To install the power cable, start with the plug end of the cable at the
location of the radio and run the two leads to the fire wall drill 1/2 inch hole
