It’s a good idea to read all of the instructions before beginning the installation. We recommend
having your JENSEN AWM968 installed by a reputable RV dealership.
Tools and Supplies
You will need these tools and supplies to install your AWM968:
•
Phillips screwdriver
•
Wire cutters and strippers
•
Tools to remove existing radio (screwdriver, socket wrench set or other tools)
•
Electrical tape
•
Crimping tool
•
Volt meter/test light

Disconnecting the Battery
To prevent a short circuit, be sure to turn off the ignition and remove the negative (-) battery
cable prior to installation.
NOTE: If the AWM968 is to be installed in a vehicle equipped with an on-board drive or
navigation computer, do not disconnect the battery cable. If the cable is disconnected,
the computer memory may be lost. Under these conditions, use extra caution during
installation to avoid causing a short circuit.
Selecting the Mounting Location
Select a mounting location, taking care to avoid the following:
•
Places exposed to heat-radiating appliances such as electric heaters
•
Adjacent to other equipment that radiates heat
•
Poorly-ventilated or dusty places
•
Moist or humid locations
Preparing the Opening
Use the mounting hole diagram (below) to measure and cut a mounting hole, then mount the
unit using four M3x20mm screws.
NOTE: Before cutting the mounting hole, make sure the area behind the mounting
location is clear of wires, fuel and vacuum or brake lines.
Mounting the Radio
Route power, speaker and antenna cables through the hole, and connect them to the unit as
outlined in the wiring diagram. After ensuring correct connections, test operation.
