sudden or emergency stop.
• If the installation angle exceeds 30º from horizontal, the unit might not give optimum
performance.
• Avoid installing the unit where it will be subject to high temperatures from direct sunlight, hot

2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is not
large enough, carefully cut or file 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.
