Installation
Space Requirements:
To mount your new Magnadyne unit, you will need a rectangle hole
in the mounting location 183mm (width) x 53mm (height), (7
1
⁄8” x
2
1
⁄8”) and a full 7” of unobstructed space behind the mounting
location.
Step 1:
After obtaining the required space and mounting hold dimensions
required, release the mounting sleeve from the unit by pressing
inward on the sides of the unit and sliding the mounting sleeve off
the unit.
Insert the mounting sleeve into the hole on the dashboard. Secure
it by bending the tabs inward as shown in fig 1. Select the
appropriate tab according to the thickness of the dashboard.
Step 2:
Bring the power, ground, antenna and speaker wires through the
center of the mounting sleeve. Make all the speaker and power
connections to the main harness supplied with the unit. Refer to the
“wiring” section of this unit for proper connection. After all the
connections have been made and are correct, plug the harness and
the antenna cable into the mating plugs located on the rear of the
unit.
Step 3:
Turn on the ignition key and do a pre-installation check of all the
functions with the unit out of the dashboard to make sure that
everything is operating properly before final installation.
Step 4:
Securely attach the rear support strap provided to the rear of the
unit with the fasteners provided. Bend the strap to allow the unit to
slide into it’s mounting sleeve. Reach up behind the unit and grab
the strap while sliding the unit into the mounting sleeve until it
snaps into place. Secure the end of the strap to a solid portion of
the dashboard structure or the fire wall.
Removing the Unit:
In the event that the unit requires removal from it’s mounting
location, repeat the following procedures.
Step 1: Release the rear support strap.
Step 2: Remove the end caps.
Step 3: Insert the keys on the left and right side.
Step 4: Slide the key up at an angle.
Step 5: Slowly pull the key out approximately 3/8” of an inch. This
presses the two stopers down and releases the unit.
Step 6: Slide the unit from the metal housing.
Step 7: Disconnect the wire harness and the antenna.

The tape head should be cleaned regularly, especially when the
playback sound begins to deteriorate. Insert a special head cleaning
cassette into the tape mechanism and allow it to run for a few minutes.
If you are playing pre-recorded tape, your tape head should be cleaned
every 10-15 hours of playing time. If you record your own tapes and are
using good quality high bias tape, (chrome or metal type) cleaning
should be performed once a month as high quality tape will not
deteriorate and leave deposits on the tape head as will pour quality
pre-recorded tapes.
Your M2080 will play C-30, C-48, C-60 and C-90 tapes. Avoid playing C120 or larger length tapes. These longer tapes create unwanted loads
on the tape motor and belts causing pre-mature wear. Also, C-120 tape
is thinner and prone to tangle inside the cassette mechanism, no
matter how clean you keep your heads.
Before inserting a cassette into the unit, look through the cassette
window to make sure there is no excess slack, loose turns, and if
necessary, insert a pencil or similar object into the hub reel as shown
below and rotate to take up the slack.
Fuse Replacement
Replace the fuse with only the specified size indicated below.
