Installation

Instructions
Before installing the radio in a vehicle, read the following instructions carefully:

•  Before installation, check the ground polarity and voltage of the vehicle power. The radio must work with a 13.6 V±15% negative ground electrical system.

•  Before installation, check how long the screws will extend from the bottom surface of the radio. Drill the mounting hole cautiously to avoid damage to the vehicle wiring and other parts.

•  Before you install the radio in the mounting bracket, connect the antenna and power cord to the radio. Use the dedicated antenna and power cord provided by the Company for digital radios.

•  Install the radio with the mounting bracket supplied by the Company, to avoid accidental radio looseness. The loose radio may cause bodily injury.
  Install the radio in a location where you can reach the front panel conveniently.

•  Keep sufficient clearance at the back of the radio for wiring.

•  Use the fuse with the same specification for DC power cord upon replacement.

•  If any other devices are in the vicinity of the radio, keep the antenna of these devices at least 10 m away from that of the radio.

Tools

• Electric drill
• Phillips screwdriver
• T20 torx screwdriver
