Installation Procedure
Removing the Unit:

A. Release the rear support strap.
B. Insert the keys provided into the slot on both sides of the chassis until locked. (snapped into place)
C. Pull on the keys with equal pres- sure to release and remove the unit from the mounting sleeve.

Wiring:
Note 1: If you are installing a com- pletely new system, install all of the speakers and antenna first, then run the wires up to the radio mounting location and bring them through the radio mounting hole.
Note 2: Your new AM/ FM cassette unit has been designed to operate properly when connected to a “12 Volt Negative Ground” electrical sys- tem. Any other power supply may not be acceptable. Connecting your new unit to other than the specified power source will damage the unit and will void the warranty. If you are not sure that your vehicle uses a “12 Volt Negative Ground” electrical sys- tem, contact your local car stereo installation center and find out before making any connections.
Red Wire:
Connect the red wire to a source of 12 volts that is controlled by the igni- tion key. Use a test light or volt meter to locate a connection point at the fuse block.
Black Wire:
Connect the black wire to the frame of the vehicle. It is strongly recom- mended that the black wire be con- nected to a part of the vehicles frame, floorboard or sub structure to insure a good ground. It is Not advisable to connect the black wire to a factory provided ground wire. It is possible that many other electrical items will be connected to this wire and electri- cal noises such as pops and clicks could be present in your speakers. In addition, shared grounds tend to amplify engine noise into the unit and you will hear the noise in your speakers.
Orange Wire: (with fuse holder)
Connect the orange wire to a con- stant source of 12 volts. The battery
(+)post or the battery portion of the fuse block is a good location for this wire. Use a test light or volt meter to locate a connection point at the fuse block.
