INSTALLATION
Before You Begin
Before you begin, always disconnect the negative battery terminal.
Important Notes
•
Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is
connected properly and the system works.
•
Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The
use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.
•
Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or
other modifications to your vessel.
•
Install the unit where it does not interfere with operating the vessel and
cannot injure passengers if there is a sudden or emergency stop.
•
Avoid installing the unit where it will be subject to high temperatures from
direct sunlight, hot air, or from a heater, or where it would be subject to
excessive dust, dirt or vibration.
Front Mount
1.
Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the radio into it. If the opening
is not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the radio slides
into the opening. Check that there will be sufficient space behind the
dashboard for the radio chassis.
CAUTION: The rear of the radio must be supported with the strap to prevent
damage to the radio and supporting structures.
2.
Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be
brought through the opening.
3.
Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are
secure to ensure proper operation.
4.
After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation
(vessel accessory 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 accessory switch off and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.
5.
Carefully slide the radio into the opening, making sure it is right-side-up.
6.
Secure the radio to the dashboard using the M5 x 25mm screws provided.
7.
Replace the covers on either side of the radio.
8.
Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud
on the rear of the chassis using the hex nut and spring washer 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 plain washer
provided. Bend the strap, as necessary, to position it.
9.
Test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.
Removing the Unit
To remove the radio after installation, remove the covers, unscrew the installation
screws and
pull the radio out.
Removing Battery
When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal.
