High-Power In-Dash AM/FM Stereo Cassette
(120-2115) Installation Faxback Doc. # 47542
BEFORE YOU BEGIN THE INSTALLATION
Before you install your stereo, read all the instructions in this owner's
manual. You should be able to answer these questions about your vehicle's
electrical system:
Which terminal in the vehicle's fuse box supplies power even when the
ignition is off?
Which terminal in my vehicle's fuse box is for accessories?
How do I connect a wire to the fuse box?
Also, be aware that installation in your vehicle might require cutting or
modifying your vehicle.
Place the stereo as close as possible to the selected mounting location.
We recommend that you install the stereo by temporarily connecting it to
ground and power, optional components, and your speakers. Then test the
connections, disconnect the stereo, mount it in your vehicle and reconnect
it. The instructions in this manual are arranged in this order.
CAUTIONS: For added safety and to protect your stereo, disconnect the
cable from your vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal before
you begin.
Be sure your speakers can handle 20 watts of power output per
channel. Each speaker must have an impedance of at least 4 Ohms.
Your local RadioShack store carries a full line of speakers.
Preparing the Mounting Area
Before you mount the stereo, make sure you have all the necessary
materials. Then confirm that the stereo fits your vehicle's mounting area.
This stereo is a DIN-E size unit that requires a 2-1/16 inch high by
7-3/16 wide by 6-11/16 deep (53 x 182 x 170 mm) mounting area.
CAUTION: Be sure to avoid obstructions behind the mounting surface.
Note: If the mounting area is larger than the stereo requires, you might
be able to mount the stereo with an in-dash installation kit,
available at your local RadioShack store. Follow the installation
