wiring connections, attach the front panel and turn the unit on to confirm operation (ignition switch must be
“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.
