Lead Connections
Connect all wires, making sure that each connection is
insulated and secure. Bundle all loose wires and fasten
them with tape so they will not fall down later. Now insert
the stereo unit into the mounting collar.
Congratulations! After making a few final checks, you’re
ready to enjoy your new auto stereo system.
□ Final Checks
1. Make sure that all wires are properly connected and
insulated.
2. Make sure that the stereo unit is securely held in the
mounting collar.

tion.

• When bending the mounting tabs of the mounting
collar with a screwdriver, be careful not to injure your
hands and fingers.
• Disconnect the cable from the negative © battery ter­
minal (see caution below).

care with installing the unit to prevent shorts.
