Installing the Radio in an Automotive Dashboard
Procedure:
1 Open out the radio cut-out (DIN Slot) in the dashboard.
2 Remove the top plastic cover off the radio.
3 Insert the mounting frame into the cut-out and retain it by bending back the relevant fixing tabs, using all 6 where
possible, to hold it in place.
Note:
The tabs are easily bent back by twisting a large flat-bladed screwdriver into the slot behind the tabs.
For more secure installation, the top and rear of the frame should also be secured with screws.
The demount tool can be used as an aid to mounting as well as demounting.
Mounting the Radio in the Frame
Procedure:
1 Provide the electrical connections to the radio for power, antenna, and accessories.
2 Plug in all the connectors and push the radio with its Remote Head Enhanced, or alternatively the Data Expansion
Head Enhanced, firmly onto the mounting frame until the two springs snap into place.
Note: The fixing tabs should be checked for tightness each time the radio is removed. The tabs are
easily tightened by twisting a large flat-bladed screwdriver in the slot behind the tabs. The frame is not
designed for daily mounting and demounting.
