   Before you begin, always disconnect the battery negative terminal.

2. Remove Transport Screws

Important Notes

• Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected properly and the system works.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications to your vehicle.
• Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers during a sudden or emergency stop.
• If the installation angle exceeds 30° from horizontal, the unit might not give optimum performance.
• Avoid installing the unit where it will be subjected to high temperatures from direct sunlight, hot air, or from a heater, or subject to excessive dust, dirt or vibration.

DIN Front Mount

1. 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 in “Removing the Unit” on page 6 .

2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is not large enough, carefully cut or files 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.

3. 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.

4. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.

5. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.

6. After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle accessory 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 accessory switch off and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.

7. 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.

8. Attach one end of the perforated support strap (supplied) to the screw stud on the rear of the chassis using the hex nut provided. Fasten the other end of the dashboard either above or below the radio using the screw and plain washer provided. Bend the strap, as necessary, to position it. Some vehicle installations provide cavity for rear support. In these applications, place the rubber bushing over the screw stud and insert.
   CAUTION: The perforated rear support strap or rear rubber mounting bushing must be used in the installation of the radio. Installation without either may result in damage to the radio or the mounting surface and void the manufacturer’s warranty.

9. Test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.

Removing the Unit

To remove the radio after installation, remove the plastic end caps, insert the removal keys straight back until they click, and then pull the radio out. If removal keys are inserted at an angle, they will not lock properly to release the unit.

Weather Band Operation
What is the NOAA Weather Radio/Weatheradio Canada? NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is a nationwide system that broadcasts local weather emergency information 24 hours a day via the National Weather Service (NWS) network. The U.S. network has more than 530 stations covering the 50 states as well as the adjacent coastal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacific Territories. Each local area has its own transmitting station and there are a total of seven broadcasting frequencies used. A similar system is available in Canada under the Weatheradio Canada service administered by Environment Canada.

Tuning to Weatherband
Press the MODE button (2) repeatedly to reach the Weatherband. The indication “WB” will appear on the display panel, along with the current number and channel indication: “WB-1″, WB-2”, “WB-3”, “WB-4”, “WB-5”, “WB-6” or “WB-7”. The seven frequencies are shown in the following table:

WB Frequencies

The above table also shows which preset button will access the frequency. Note that one frequency cannot be accessed using a preset button. The frequency can only be reached  using the tuning controls.
Use the or buttons (6, 7) or the preset buttons to tune to each of the seven channels until you find the weatherband station broadcasting in your area.

How many stations can I expect to receive?
Since the broadcasts are local weather and information, the transmission power is usually very low (much less than standard AM or FM stations) so you will usually receive only one station unless you are on the edge of two or more broadcast signals. The most you will receive will be two or three, and that is rare.

Is it possible I won’t receive any stations?
Depending on where you are located, there is a possibility you will receive only a very weak signal or none at all. Also, similar to AM and FM signals, weatherband signals are subject to surrounding conditions, weather, obstructions of the signal by hills or mountains, etc.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Keep the product dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
• Keep the product away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.
• Handle the product gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and cases, and can cause the product to work improperly.
• Wipe the product with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the product.
• Use and store the product only in normal temperature environments. High temperature can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic parts.

Ignition
The most common source of noise in reception is the ignition system. This is a result of the radio being placed close to the ignition system (engine). This type of noise can be easily detected because it will vary in intensity of pitch with the speed of the engine.
Usually, the ignition noise can be suppressed considerably by using a radio suppression type high voltage ignition wire and suppressor resistor in the ignition system. (Most vehicles employ this wire and resistor but it may be necessary to check them for correct operation.) Another method of suppression is the use of additional noise suppressors. These can be obtained from most CB radio or electronic supply shops.

Interference
Radio reception in a moving environment is very different from reception in a stationary environment (home). It is very important to understand the difference.
AM reception will deteriorate when passing under a bridge or when passing under high voltage lines. Although AM is subject to environmental noise, it has the ability to be received at great distance. This is because broadcasting signals follow the curvature of the earth and are reflected back by the upper atmosphere.
