UNIVERSAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE USING MOUNTING SLEEVE

1. Open, fold down and remove the detachable front panel, if it is attached to the chassis, by grasping the grooved center portion and pulling the panel assembly straight out. Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis. If it is locked into position, use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it.

2. 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

3. 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 so that the sleeve is

firmly secured to the dashboard.

“on”). If unit does not operate, re-check all wiring until problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn off the ignition switch and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.

5. 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.

6. Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis using the hex nut 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 hex nut provided. Bend the strap to position it as necessary.

CAUTION: The rear of the radio must be supported with the strap to prevent damage to the dashboard

7. Re-attach the front panel to the chassis and test radio operation by referring to the Operating Instructions for the unit.
