Installation
This unit is designed for installation in cars, trucks and vans with an existing
radio opening. In many cases, a special installation kit will be required to
mount the radio into the dashboard. These kits are available at electronics
supply stores and car stereo specialty shops. Always check the kit
application before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle.
If you have trouble locating a kit
or
need installation assistance, contact
Technical Support at 1-800-323-4815 from 9:00am to 6:00pm EST Monday
through Friday.

1.
Remove the detachable front panel,
if
it is attached to the chassis, by
pushing the "Release" button.
2. 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 on page
6.
3.
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.
4.
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.
