The design of the PRO501XLMounting Bracket
allows you to mount the radio in one of three angles for easy viewing of the front panel.
Note: The speaker is located on the bottom of the radio. Be sure the mounting location does not obstruct this area.
Note: Mount the radio to the bracket only after the wiring has been connected to the
rear panel and the microphone hanger has been installed

2.Remove the mounting bracket from the radio and use it as a template for marking
the location of the mounting screws. (Note: If there are screws already holding the dashboard, you can use the same screw holes to mount the bracket in its place.)
3.Drill the necessary holes and secure the mounting bracket in place using the screws
provided.
