Specialty Features

Reset Button

The radio panel or LCD display may fail to func­tion normally due to the vehicle’s battery condi­tion, and may require resetting the radio micro­processor if:

• The vehicle has been “jump started” from a dead
battery condition

• The vehicle battery becomes very low and is
quick-charged

• The vehicle battery is removed and replaced

Should this condition occur, simply press and
release the RESET button on the radio panel
using the tip of a ball point pen. This will reset the
radio microprocessor to the original factory set­tings. After pressing the RESET button you
should recheck to see if the radio functions nor­mally. All station programming should remain,
but you will have to reset the clock. Should the
LCD display area show any abnormal error code,
please refer to the trouble shooting guide and
solution chart below.

Installation Procedures

Remove Transportation
Screws Before
Installation

S

tep 1: The radio chassis is designed to be “Sleeve

Mounted” through a opening in the dashboard panel.
The required opening size is 182mm (7-3/16") x
84mm (3-5/16"). Cut or enlarged an opening in the
dashboard to accommodate the mounting sleeve.

Step 2: If you are replacing an existing factory

installed radio, an adapter harness might be avail­able for your vehicle to eliminate the need for cut­ting your factory wiring. Contact Radio Shack or
other car stereo installation centers for the availabil­ity of a harness for your vehicle.

Step 3: Insert the mounting sleeve into the hole in

the dashboard. Bend the metal tabs on the sleeve to
secure the mounting sleeve to the dashboard.

Step 4: Bring all wiring for the connection of the unit

(including the antenna) through the center of the
mounting sleeve. Connect the wiring as follows:

Yellow Wire: Connect this wire to a constant +12
volt power source (a power source that is not con­trolled by the ignition key).

Red Wire (w/Fuse): Connect this wire to a switched
+12 volt power source (a power source turned on
and off by the ignition key).

Blue Wire: Connect this wire to the (+) power
antenna activation circuit. If no power antenna
exists, tape-off the end of this wire to prevent short­ing out the unit.

Black Wire: Connect this wire to the frame of the
vehicle (ground). This wire is the chassis grounding
wire for the unit.

White Wire: Connect this wire to the Left Front
Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.

White Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the
Left Front Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.

Gre

en Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the

Left Rear Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.
Green Wire: Connect this wire to the Left Rear

Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.
Gray Wire: Connect this wire to the Right Front

Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.

Gra

y Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the

Right Front Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.

Purple

Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the

Right Rear Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.
Purple Wire: Connect this wire to the Right Rear

Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.

Gray Cable with Red/White RCA Connectors:

Provides Left and Right Channel audio signal output
for input to an additional amplifier.

Note 1: This unit is designed to connect to (4) four
speakers. If the installation only requires (2) two
speakers, use the White and Gray wire sets to con­nect the speakers.

Note 2: If installation angle exceeds 30 degrees
from horizontal, the unit might not give its optimum
performance.

Note 3: Avoid installing the unit where it would be
subject to high temperature, such as from direct sun­light, or from hot air, from the heater, or where is
would be subject to dust, dirt or excessive vibration.

Remove Transportation Screws: Before installing
the unit, please remove the two screws shown in the
illustration below.

WARNING!

Any wires left unconnected must be taped-off
or capped-off to prevent shorting.

DO NOT connect speaker ground wires together.
DO NOT connect speaker ground wires to the

chassis of the vehicle.
DO NOT connect front and rear speaker wires
together.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THESE WARN­INGS WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THIS
UNIT AND VOIDS THE WARRANTY.
