Regular Mounting:

1. Drill mounting holes to 7/32 inch.
2. Ensure the area behind the panel where the holes are desired is clear of wires and fuel, vacuum, or brake lines.
3. Attach the bracket to the vehicle mounting surface using self-tapping screws or machine screws with nuts.

Overhead Mounting:

Attaching the Radio
Once the bracket is securely mounted, use the four included M4 machine screws to fasten the bracket to the back of the radio. Alternatively, if access to the rear of the instrument panel is available, the radio can be mounted directly to the instrument panel.

CAUTION:
Do not over-tighten the 4 mounting screws. Hand tighten only.

Wiring

    Weather Band Operation

14. Accessing the Weather Band
    Press WB (14) to directly access the weather band mode from any other function mode.

    • What is the NOAA Weather Radio?
      This is a nationwide system that broadcasts local weather emergency information 24 hours a day. 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 transmitting station and there are a total of seven broadcasting frequencies used: 162.400MHz (CH1), 162.425MHz (CH2), 162.450MHz (CH3), 162.475MHz (CH4), 162.500MHz (CH5), 162.525MHz (CH6) and 162.550MHz (CH7).

    • 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 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 location, you may receive a very weak signal or none at all. Also, similar to AM and FM signals, weather band signals are subject to surrounding conditions, weather, obstructions of the signal by hills or mountains, etc. If no NOAA signals are found/received, the “NO SIG” icon will flash in the display and the tuner will scan all seven NOAA frequencies every 30 seconds.

    • How will I know I am tuned to the weather band?
      When you select the weather band, the “WB” icon will appear on the display panel, along with the current channel indication. Press TUN+ (11b) or TUN- (11a) to tune into each of the seven channels until you find the weather band station broadcasting in your area.

    • NOAA Weather Alert
      The Weather Alert function adds a level of user safety by automatically switching from the current function mode to weather band mode for a minimum of 60 seconds if a NOAA warning tone (1050 Hz) is received/detected.

    • If no additional warning tone is received for 60 seconds, the unit will switch back to the last known function mode.

    • The Weather Alert function can be turned “on” or “off” by the Audio/Menu key, as described on page three. When “ON” (default), the Weather Alert icon appears in the display and the weather tuner remains active, even when the radio is turned off (as long as the power is still applied to the radio). If a weather alert is issued, the radio will turn on and play the announcement for 60 seconds, then turn it back off and revert to weather alert monitor mode.

    • If the Weather Alert function is set to “OFF”, no Weather Alert icon appears in the display. The radio will not respond to any weather alerts when it is off and will not automatically switch to the weather band if an alert is issued.

NOTE:
If the unit is programmed for European operation, the WB function will be disabled.

Troubleshooting

connected to the vehicle accessory circuits but the engine is not moving, switch the ignition key to “ACC”
The 3A fuse is blown| Replace the 3A fuse
No reception| Volume turned down too low| Adjust the volume until the sound is heard
The wiring is not connected properly| Check wiring connections
The radio does not work| The antenna cable is not connected| Insert antenna cable firmly
Volume too high or too low when the radio is turned on| The preset volume is set incorrectly| Use the Menu adjustment to change the preset volume to the desired level
LCD is dark and difficult to read| Radio too hot| Turn the radio off and allow it to cool down
No WB function| Programmed to “European”| Program to “USA” (setup menu)
