PCD161 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Installation Using a Mounting Sleeve 1. Slide the mounting sleeve off the chassis. If it is locked into position, use the removal tools (supplied) to disengage it. 2. Check the dashboard opening size by slid- ing the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is too small, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve easily slides into the open- ing. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check for suffi- cient 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 dash- board 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. Follow the wir- ing diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and insulated with wire nuts or electrical tape. After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle ignition must be on). If the unit does not operate, re-check all wiring until the problem is corrected. 5. Make sure the radio is right-side up, then carefully slide the radio into the mounting sleeve until it is fully seated and the spring clips lock it into place. 6. 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 perforated strap to a secure part of the dashboard either above or below the radio using the screw provided. Bend the strap to position it as necessary. 7. Test the radio using the Operating Instruc- tions that follow. DE BA D E RD O M E VS M O D ETE R E R CH PM P I CD /M P RE EI ER CAUTION: The support strap must be used to prevent damage to the dashboard from the weight of the radio or improper operation due to vibration. CAUTION: For proper operation of the CD player, the chassis must be mounted within 20° of horizontal. Make sure the unit is mounted within this limitation. BEND TABS INSTALLATION
