SD14113 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 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 to 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. Pre-installation 1. Disconnect Battery
Before you begin, always disconnect the battery
negative terminal.
2.Remove Transport Screws
Universal Installation Using
Mounting Sleeve 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 5.
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.
5. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought
through the mounting sleeve. 6. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and
make certain all connections are secure
and insulated with crimp connectors or
electrical tape to ensure proper operation.
7. After completing the wiring connections, attach the front panel and turn the unit on
to confirm operation (vehicle ignition
switch must be on). If the unit does not
operate, recheck all wiring until the
problem is corrected. Once proper
operation is achieved, turn the ignition
switch off and proceed with final mounting
of the chassis.
8. Carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve, making sure it is right-side-up, until
it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it
into place.
