INSTALLATION

This unit is designed for installation in vehicle cabs with an existing 1-DIN radio opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. See the dealer where the radio was purchased for kit availability. Always check the kit application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle.

Before you Begin

1. Disconnect Battery Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.

2. Remove Transport Screws

Important Notes

 Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected

properly and the system works.

 Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of

unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.

 Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other

modifications to your vehicle.

 Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers during

a sudden or emergency stop.

 If the installation angle exceeds 30° from horizontal, the unit might not give optimum

performance.

 Avoid installing the unit where it will be subjected to high temperatures from direct sunlight,

hot air, or from a heater, or subject to excessive dust, dirt or vibration.

DIN Front Mount

1. Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chassis if it has not already been removed. If it is locked into position, use the removal keys (supplied) to disengage it. The removal keys are depicted in “Removing the Unit” on page 3 .

2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is not large enough, carefully cut or files as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check that there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.

3. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening, bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary to firmly secure the sleeve to the dashboard.

4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.

5. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.

6. After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle accessory switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn the accessory switch off and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.

7. Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve making sure it is right-side-up until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place.

8. Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis using the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the dashboard either above or below the radio using the screw and plain washer provided. Bend the strap, as necessary, to position it. Some vehicle installations provide cavity for rear support. In these applications, place the rubber bushing over the screw stud and insert.

CAUTION: The perforated rear support strap or rear rubber mounting bushing must be used in the installation of the radio. Installation without either may result in damage to the radio or the mounting surface and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

9. Test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.

Removing the Unit

To remove the radio after installation, remove the plastic end caps, insert the removal keys straight back until they click, and then pull the radio out. If removal keys are inserted at an angle, they will not lock properly to release the unit.

Reconnect Battery

When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal.
