Mounting the Radio

1. Choose a mounting location on the dashboard or instrument panel that will allow room behind to run radio cables to the power source. Consider how you will use the AUX IN, LINE OUT and USB connectors and route the appropriate extension cables to an accessible area.

   IMPORTANT! Do not mount this unit where it can be submerged in water.

3. Attach the included screw posts (A) to the back of the radio.

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

5. After completing the wiring connections(page 2), turn the radio on to confirm operation (vehicle accessory switch must be on). If the radio does not operate.
   Recheck all wiring until the problem is corrected. Once the proper operation is achieved, turn the accessory switch off and proceed with the final mounting of the radio. Refer to the wiring diagram.
   NOTE: Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected properly and the system works.

6. Insert the radio into the mounting hole.
