Welcome!

What you're holding in your hands is no ordinary owner's manual. We've tried to make the instructions in this book clear and easy to follow.

For your Jensen stereo to work right, it must be installed correctly. This manual will show you how to install your new stereo like a pro. It's a good idea to read all of these instructions before you begin the installation. Most installations are straightforward and can be handled by a do-it-yourselfer with the right tools, patience, and the ability to follow instructions. But, do-it-yourself installation isn't for everyone. If you still don't feel confident after reading this book, consider turning the installation job over to someone better suited to it.

Warranty Service

If your Jensen stereo should ever require service, you will need to have the original dated receipt. If you ever need to return the unit for any reason, always include the receipt with the product.

Technical Assistance

For technical assistance with the installation of the CM715K, call 1-800-323-0221.

Installation

Before You Begin Installation

Before you begin, you will need tools, supplies and adapters. It is best to make sure you have everything you need before you take your dashboard apart.

CM715K

Tools and Supplies Needed

Basic Installation:

• Flat and Phillips screwdrivers

• Wire cutters

• Wire strippers

• Tools to remove existing radio (screwdriver, socket wrench set or other tools)

• Electrical tape

Advanced Installation:

• Soldering iron

• Crimping tool

• 12 volt test light / Digital Meter

• Solder

• Crimp connectors

• 18 gauge wire for power connections

• Speaker wire

Speaker Requirements

Only connect the CM715K to speakers rated in the load impedance range of 4 to 8 ohms. Speakers with a load impedance less than 4 ohms could damage the CM715K.

Prepare Radio for Installation

Remove transport screws (you cannot insert a CD until the screws are removed)

Adapters for Easier Installation

Electrical and dashboard adapters make installation easier. Purchase adapters from your local Jensen retailer, electronics store or car stereo specialty store.

Wiring Harness Adapter

For a basic installation, you can purchase a wiring harness adapter for your car's existing radio connectors. This makes installation easy.

Untitled-3 4/10/99, 7:38 PM2

Antenna Adapter (GM cars)

1990 and newer GM cars have a small antenna connector. You will need an adapter when installing this radio in a newer GM car.

Professional Tip

Connections

Good wire connections are very important for best sound and long-term reliability. Here are two methods:

Splice

1. Strip 1/2 inch (12 mm) of insulation from both wires.

2. Wrap wires together.

3. Fold wires over.

4. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice.

Splice

Strip Wire

Solder

Solder is the best way to connect wires, but it takes skill and practice. Splice the wires (as shown above). Before taping, heat the wires (not the solder). When the wires are warm enough, touch the solder to the splice. The solder will flow over the wires. Stretch electrical tape tightly over splice.

Professional Tip

Crimp Connections

Purchase crimp connectors and crimping tool. Connectors are color coded. This Jensen radio uses BLUE connectors (14-16 gauge wire).

1. Strip 1/4 inch (6mm) of insulation from both wires.

2. Insert into connector.

3. Crimp tightly.

You can make permanent splices (using butt connectors) or select connectors that can be removed and reinstalled.

Professional Tip

Upgrading Your System

Jensen makes a wide range of car stereo products that will make your car system sound better, great or INCREDIBLE!

Better Sound

Install a Jensen tape deck or CD player like you’re doing now. High power units can make your existing speakers sound better and play louder.

Untitled-3 4/10/99, 7:38 PM3

Great Sound

Replace your existing speakers with Jensen speakers. Many of our speakers will fit into your car without cutting or drilling. You can also add an amplified graphic equalizer to tailor the sound to your liking.

INCREDIBLE Sound

Jensen offers a full line of amplifiers, highpower speakers and subwoofers that can turn your car into audio dynamite. You can go loud, louder and loudest by selecting Jensen components from your retailer.

Disconnect Battery

Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.

–

Remove Old Radio

1. Remove dash trim to expose radio chassis.

2. Remove the screws from the mounting bracket and remove radio.

3. Disconnect wiring harness.

4. Unscrew factory mounting brackets. (Most GM cars only.)

Wiring

Important

If wiring connections are made wrong, the unit will not operate properly and it could be damaged. Follow the installation instructions carefully, or have the installation handled by an experienced technician.

Professional Tip

Fuse Adapters

No convenient power wire? Install a fuse adapter having a spade connector.

Fuse

Adapter

Crimp on a matching connector and attach:

• Yellow wire–Fuse marked MAIN, BAT or PWR

• Red wire–Fuse marked ACCY (accessory), or RADIO

Wiring with a Wiring Adapter

This is the easiest wiring method, because it replaces your existing radio. You will have to buy a wire harness adapter from your dealer, a car stereo installation shop or electronics store. If you use a wiring adapter, you can connect all wires to the radio before you even start to take your old radio out.

Connect Wires

Splice, crimp or solder the wires from the Jensen connector to the wiring adapter. Match the wires according to the chart (below) and the wiring adapter instructions.

You can make all these connections without even being in the car

Fuses

When replacing a fuse, make sure new fuse is correct type and amperage. Using an incorrect fuse could damage radio. The CM715K uses one 10 amp (in the filter box) and two 2 amp fast blow AGC fuses as part of rear wiring harness.
