Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.

2.

Remove Transport Screws

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 vehicle.

Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers if

there is a sudden or emergency stop.

If the installation angle exceeds 30º from horizontal, the unit might not give optimum

performance.

This unit is not waterproof and is intended for interior mounting applications only.

Exterior mounting of the unit requires use of an ASA approved marine housing.

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.

Be sure to remove the control panel before installing the unit.

DIN Front/Rear Mount

This unit can be property installed with either a “Front” (conventional DIN front mount) or “Rear”

(DIN rear mount installation, utilizing threaded screw holes at the sides of the unit chassis)

mount. For details, refer to installation methods A and B.
DIN Front Mount (Method A)
1.

Remove the detachable front panel, if it is

attached to the chassis, by pushing the
REL

button.

2.

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. The

removal keys are depicted in “Removing

the Unit” on page 3.

3.

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.

4.

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.

5.

Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the

mounting sleeve.

6.

Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and

insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.

7.

After completing the wiring connections, attach the front panel and 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.

8.

Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is

fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.

9.

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. CAUTION: The rear of the

radio must be supported with

the strap to prevent damage to

the dashboard from the weight

of the radio or improper operation due to vibration.

10. Re-attach the front panel to the chassis and test radio operation by referring to the

operating instructions for the unit.

Removing the Unit
To remove the radio after installation:
1.

Insert fingers into the groove in the front of

frame and pull out to remove the frame.

(When re-attaching the frame, point the

side with a groove downwards and re-

attach.)

2.

Insert the removal keys straight back until

they click, and then pull the radio out. If

removal keys are inserted at an angle,

they will not lock properly to release the

unit.

Trim Plate Installation
Push the trim plate against the chassis until it is

fitted. You must do this before you install the
control panel, otherwise it can't be attached.
