and only fits into AC power outlets
one way. If the plug won’t go into
the outlet completely, turn the
plug over and try to insert it the other way. If it
still won’t fit, contact a qualified electrician to
change the outlet, or use a different one. Do not

attempt to bypass this safety feature.

CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT,
FULLY INSERT.

Main plug is used as the disconnect device, it shall
remain readily operable and should not be

Before mounting

Empty contents of the selected cabinet under
which the unit will be mounted and thoroughly
clean the underside of the cabinet to remove any
grease residue which might be present.
We recommend the unit be mounted at the front
edge of the cabinet.

Important: For secure mounting, the screws must
go into the radio to a depth of at least
overall length from the bottom of the cabinet shelf
to the bottom of the overhang is more than 1
then a wood shim will be necessary. A shim can be
made from a sheet of plywood, using the Template
to locate the central lines for drilling the
mounting holes. The shim can be located between
the cabinet shelf bottom and spacers. Make sure
the wood is at least as thick as the excess over 1
If a shim is necessary, longer screws are required.
Longer screws (Type #10-32) are available at most
local hardware stores.
Cut out the Template on the line indicated. The
Template size and screw hole positions are identical
to the top of the clock radio.

First Things First

Note:

If your cabinet has glue blocks or other
obstructions, cut out corresponding areas on
the Template to clear them. Do not cut out or
cut through the screw holes indicated on the
Template.

It is recommended that safety glasses be worn
while drilling screw holes to prevent the
possibility of eye injury.

overhang, go to Step 5.
If your cabinet has an overhang, select the

spacer or combination of spacers that is equal
to or longer than the cabinet overhang.

Tips:

On wooden cabinets you may want to
mark and start the drill holes with a nail or an
awl.
Be sure to hold the drill very firmly against the
cabinet to reduce “walking” of the drill bit
from the markings.
Use masking tape above the hole locations on
inside of wooden cabinet shelf to help reduce
splintering.
If installing the unit under a wood cabinet,
you may wish to countersink the drilled hole
from the INSIDE of the cabinet if a countersink
attachment for your drill is available. This will
eliminate the use of washers and allow the
screw heads to be flush with the floor of your
cabinet. If you cannot countersink the holes,
use the supplied washers.

EN

If your cabinet has an overhang:
(a) Measure the thickness of the overhang.
(b) Fold front of Template downward along

the printed guideline that is closest to
the thickness of your cabinet.

(c) Tape fold-down portion to backside of

overhang, Tape Template to cabinet
underside.
