Disconnecting the Battery
To prevent a short circuit, be sure to turn off the ignition and
remove the negative (-) battery cable prior to installation.
NOTE: If the VM9312HD is to be installed in a car
equipped with an on-board drive or navigation computer,
do not disconnect the battery cable. If the cable is
disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under
these conditions, use extra caution during installation to
avoid causing a short circuit.
Pre-installation
1. Press the metal levers on both sides to remove the half-
sleeve from the radio.
2. Install the half-sleeve.
a. Install adapter if necessary (optional).
b. Install half-sleeve into adapter or dashboard (use
only the supplied screws). Do not force the sleeve
into the opening or cause it to bend or bow.
c. Locate the series of bend-tabs along the top,
bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the
sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening,
bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary so
that the sleeve is firmly secured to the dashboard.
d. Install support strap to make the unit more stable.
CAUTION! Be careful not to damage the car wiring.
3. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the
wiring can be brought through the mounting sleeve.
Wiring
Complete wiring as illustrated in the wiring diagram on page
3. Once the wiring is complete, reconnect the battery
negative terminal. If there is no ACC available, connect the
ACC lead to the power supply with a switch.
NOTE: When replacing a fuse, be sure to use correct
type and amperage to avoid damaging the radio. The
VM9312HD uses one 15 amp mini-ATM fuse, located in
the black filter box in-line with the main wire harness.
