INSTALLATION
Before finally installing the unit, carry out a sound check. If high distortion or intermittent sound
is experienced, it is possible that the wiring to the car's electric is poor, or that the battery needs
recharging.
Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure a safe and secure installation.
Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other
modifications to the vehicle.
Choose a mounting location carefully so that the unit will not interfere with the normal driving
functions of the vehicle.
If installation angle exceeds 30° from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum
performance.
Avoid installing the unit where it would be subject to high temperature, such as from direct
sunlight, or from hot air, from heater, or where it would be subject to dust dirt or excessive
vibration.
Be sure to remove the front panel before installing the unit.
DIN FRONT/REAR-MOUNT
This unit can be installed either from “Front” (conventional DIN Front-mount) or “Rear”(DIN

OVERVIEW OF THE RDS FUNCTION
Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service that allows FM stations to send additional
digital information along with the regular radio program signal. Your car stereo offers you a variety
of services. Here are just a few:
- PI (Program identification)
It is a code that identifies RDS stations; it is unique for each station.
- PS (PROGRAM Service Name)
The name of current station.
- AF (Alternative Frequencies List)
The list(s) of Alternative Frequencies give information on the various transmitters broadcasting
the same program in the same or adjacent reception area. If the main frequency should get
worse, the radio will tune automatically to the strongest Alternative frequency.
- TP (Traffic Program)
If the tuned program broadcasts traffic announcements, the TP indicator will turn on.
- TA (Traffic Announcement)
When an actual traffic bulletin is on air, the TA indicator will also turn on.
- PTY (Program Type Codes)
This code is used to designate the current program material being broadcast. With this feature,
you can search the programs that match the selected program type, which is chosen from a
specific list of types.
- EON (Enhanced Other Networks Information)
It is a supplementary service enabling the radio to obtain information not only from the current
station but also from other networks.
Notes
RDS may not work properly if the signal strength is weak or if the station you are tuned to is not
transmitting RDS data.
