1) Choose an appropriate mounting location underneath a cabinet or shelf. Close proximity to an electrical

outlet, TV antenna or cable connection and telephone jack will facilitate a neat, easy installation. Do not

mount the VE926 above a range or oven. Be sure that the location chosen will provide adequate access

to the electrical connections on the rear of the unit before continuing.

2) If the location chosen has a bottom edge molding it may be necessary to use the mounting spacers

provided to effectively lower the VE926 below or even with the molding. Measure the distance between

the edge molding and the bottom of the cabinet. The spacers and mounting holes are stepped to

achieve different mounting heights from .5” to 1”. Adjusting the mounting height is done by lifting and

rotating the spacer in the mounting hole. Choose a spacer height, which will allow the VE926 to clear

the edge molding.

3) Measure the thickness of the bottom of the cabinet or shelf and the spacer height chosen. Select the

shortest screw length, which will secure the VE926 to the bottom of the cabinet.

4) Cut out the template supplied and tape it in place onto the cabinet surface to be drilled. Center punch

the four holes indicated on the template and remove the template.

5) Carefully drill four 1/8″ holes at the locations marked above.

6) Connect your TV antenna or cable system to the antenna connector on the rear of the VE926.

7) Attach the FM Dipole Antenna and position the antenna for the best reception.

8) Attach the AM Antenna and position the antenna for the best reception.

9) Position the VE926 and mount it in place using the selected screws.

10) Plug the AC power cable into the wall outlet. Route the wires safely away from heat and moisture

sources.

UNDER CABINET INSTALLATION

NOTE: Do not over-tighten.

COUNTERTOP/DESKTOP INSTALLATION

NOTE: Use caution to avoid damaging the LCD screen and the main unit when converting this unit from an under-counter unit to a countertop unit. Leave the protective plastic on the screen until this procedure is completed.

1) Place the unit (with the screen facing up) on a soft padded surface.

2) Pivot the screen so that it is perpendicular to the front of the unit and then turn it sideways.

3) Remove the hinge guide covers (#1) using a flat blade screwdriver inserted into the removal

slots. Unscrew the mounting screws (#2). Remove the connector from the unit (#3), be

careful not to damage the screen (#5) or wires.

4) Turn the unit over and remove the blank cover (#4)

5) Connect the plug of the LCD monitor into the connector (#3). NOTE: Align the “L” and “R” stamped on the screen-mounting bracket with the “L” and “R” molded into the connector housing.

6) Replace the screws and slide the hinge guide covers onto the unit, be careful to not damage

the wires. NOTE: Do not over-tighten.

7) Insert the rubber pieces (#6) (Foot, Mounting Cap - please refer to the illustration above) into

the unit. Install the blank cover on the unused port.
