INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS- DIN RADIO
This unit is designed for installation in vehicle cabs with an existing radio
opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to
mount the radio to the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics
supply stores and car stereo specialist shops. Always check the kit
application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your
vehicle.
UNIVERSAL INSTALLATION PROCEDURE USING
MOUNTING SLEEVE
1) Remove endcaps and 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 slides easily 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. Connect wires prior to actually installing the sleeve. Pigtail
wiring should take place after hole size is confirmed. Mount sleeve
after wiring.
3) Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections
of the wiring harness are properly secured and insulated to insure
proper operation of this unit. After completing the wiring
connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (ignition switch
must be “on”). If unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the
problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn off
ignition switch and proceed with final mounting of the 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 dash
opening, bend tabs outward so that the sleeve is firmly secured to
the dashboard.
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 mounting strap (supplied) to the
screw stud on the rear of the chassis using the flange 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
flange nut provided, bend the strap to position as necessary.

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.

CONFIGURATION- con’t.
CONFIGURATION OF TUNER SEEK SENSIVITY SETTING
The scan sensitivity feature is designed to give flexibility during the tuner
seek function. The tuner can be configured such that during seek, it will
stop on strong stations, ignoring weaker signals. The tuner can also be
configured to stop at all weak signals.
To configure the seek sensitivity setting, hold down the AUDIO ADJUST
button for longer than 3 seconds. The unit will then enter the general
configuration menu. While in the general configuration menu, press
preset 4 and then preset 2. The unit is now in the tuner configuration
menu. Press the manual “tune down/track down” button until you see
“SC--**” on the display (where ** can equal 00-15). The numbers are set
such that at the setting “SC-00”, the unit is more sensitive to weaker
signals. This means that the seek function will stop at most or all weak
signals. At “SC-15”, the seek function will stop only at the strong
stations. Use the manual “tune up/track forward” button to adjust the
seek sensitivity of the tuner to a setting that will suit the application. To
exit the tuner configuration menu, press AUDIO ADJUST or let the menu
timeout, within about 5 seconds. For reference the factory setting is 08.
CONFIGURATION OF THE MECHANICAL CASSETTE MODULE
Hold down the AUDIO ADJUST button for longer than 3 seconds. The
unit will enter the general configuration menu. Press manual “tune
down/track down” button until you see “IN--**”. For logic cassette, scroll
through the menu options until “IN--**” (where ** can equal NA, LT, CD,
or CG) is displayed. For proper mechanical cassette operation, this
setting should be set to “IN-NA”. If this button setting is not “IN-NA”,
press the manual “tune up/track forward” button until this appears on the
display. To exit configuration, press the AUDIO ADJUST or let the menu
timeout, within about 5 seconds.

WIRING DIAGRAM – con’t.
CAUTION- Connect all speakers before turning the radio on. This radio
is designed to operate with a minimum of two speakers.
CHART A-
Green/White Wire
This wire maintains the pre-set memories and clock time.
CHART B-
Orange/White Wire
This wire is connected to the “Accessory “ or “On” position of the key
switch. The radio will then only operate when the switch is “On” and will
automatically shut-off when the key is turned off. If a key switched
connection is not possible, this wire may be connected to a constant
+12V source. If this is the case, the radio must be manually turned “Off”
after use to prevent excessive battery drain.
CHART C-
Pink Wire
This wire provides a source of +12 volts only when the radio is turned
on. It may be used to turn on an optional power amplifier (See
instructions provided with the amplifier) or activate an automatic power
antenna to extend when the radio is turned on, if the vehicle is so
equipped. Maximum current draw from the pink wire is 0.1 Ampere, so
do not connect it to accessories that require more than this. Improper
operation or damage may result.
