Parts Packed with your Unit

Spacers 3 — 1/4" 3 — 1/2"

3 — 1"

USE:

3 — 2 3/4" Phillips head screws

3 — 1 5/8" Phillips head screws

3 — Washers

Before Mounting

Empty contents of the selected cabinet under which the unit will be mounted and thoroughly clean the underside of the cabinet to remove any grease residue which might be present.

We recommend the unit be mounted at the front edge of the cabinet.

Important: For secure mounting, the screws must go into the radio to a depth of at least If the overall length from the bottom of the cabinet shelf to the bottom of the overhang is more than 1 3/4", then a wood shim will be necessary. A shim can be made from a sheet of plywood, using the Template to locate 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 excess 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 screw hole positions are identical to the top of the clock radio.

First Things First

Mounting Procedure

1. If your cabinet does not have an overhang:

(a) Position Template in desired location on

underside of cabinet, flush with front edge.

(b) Then tape Template in place, and go to

Step 2.

FRONT EDGE

OF CABINET

If your cabinet has an overhang:

(a) Measure the thickness of the overhang. (b) Fold front of Template downward along

the printed guideline that is closest to the thickness of your cabinet.

Note:

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

Note:

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

2. Drill 1/4 -inch diameter holes through the underside of the cabinet bottom shelf using the 3 points marked on the Template.

Tips:

On wooden cabinets you may want to mark and start the drill holes with a nail or an awl.

Be sure to hold the drill very firmly against the cabinet to reduce “walking” of the drill bit from the markings.

Use masking tape above the hole locations on inside of wooden cabinet shelf to help reduce splintering.

If installing the unit under a wood cabinet, you may wish to countersink the drilled hole from the INSIDE of the cabinet if a countersink attachment for your drill is available. This will eliminate the use of washers and allow the screw heads to be flush with the floor of your cabinet. If you cannot countersink the holes, use the supplied washers.

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

4. If your cabinet does not have an

overhang, go to Step 5. If your cabinet has an overhang, select

the spacer or combination of spacers that is equal to or longer than the cabinet overhang.
