technician.

• For secure mounting, the screws must go into the radio to a depth of at least 3/8”. If the

overall length from the bottom of the cabinet shelf to the bottom of the over hand is

more the 1-3/4”. Then a wood shim will be necessary. A shim can be made from a sheet of plywood, using the Template to located the central lines for drilling the 1/4” mounting

holes; the shim can be located between the cabinet shelf bottom and spacers. Make sure

the wood is at least as thick as the exces over 1-3/4” if a shim is necessary, longer screws are required. Longer screws (Type#10-32) are available at most local hardware stores

Cut out the template on the line indicated. The template size and the screw hold positions are identical to the top of the Clock radio.

Step 1 If your cabinet does not have a overhang : a) Position template in desired location on underside of cabinet, flush with front edge. b) Then tape template in pace and go to step 2.

If your cabinet has overhang:

a) Measure the thickness of the overhang. b) Fold front of the template downward along the printed guideline that is closet to the

thickness of your cabinet.

c) Tape fold-down portion to backside of overhand, tape template to cabinet underside.

Note: If your cabinet has glue blocks or other obstructions, cut out corresponding areas on the template to clear them. Do not cut or cut through the screw holes indicated on the template.

CAUTION: It is recommended that safety glasses be worn while drilling screw holes to prevent the possibility of eye injury.

Step 2

Drill 1/4” inches diameter holes through the underside of the cabinet bottom shelf using

the three points marked on the template.

Step 3 Remove template and clean drill shavings from inside and underside of cabinet.

Step 4 If your cabinet has an overhang. Select the spacer or combination of spacers that is equal to or longer
