INSTALLATION
The TX2720 is supplied with a DIN mounting
bracket for mounting into a standard DIN sized
cavity in the vehicle’s console or dashboard.
Before installing the radio, ensure the DC cable
and antenna have been installed correctly (as
described further below) and the connectors are
accessible through the DIN cavity.
INSTALLING THE DIN MOUNT
To install the DIN mount you will need access to
the rear of the vehicle’s console.
1. Remove the four small front mounting bolts
from the front edges of the DIN mount
and separate the front frame from the DIN
surround.
2. Slide the DIN surround into the DIN slot in the
vehicle’s console and secure it in the desired
position by bending the folding tabs.
3. Slide the TX2720 radio into the front frame so
that the threaded holes in the chassis line up
with the holes in the front frame.
4. Secure the radio using the four 8 mm bolts
and washers provided.
5. Connect the DC connector and PL259 antenna
(and rear microphone extension lead if used)
to the sockets on the radio’s rear panel.
6. Slide the front frame back into the DIN
surround and secure it using the four small
front mounting bolts.
You can now refit the console to the vehicle.
