kit's instructions to mount the stereo.
Routing Speaker Wires
If you install speakers, avoid routing the speaker wires near moving parts
or sharp edges. You can usually route wires along the wiring channel
beneath the vehicle's door facings by carefully removing the molding that
holds the carpet in place. After you route the wires, replace the molding.
Using an Adapter Harness
If you are replacing an existing stereo, or if your vehicle has been
factory-wired for autosound components, you can use an adapter harness to
connect the power and speakers. RadioShack stores sell adapter harnesses
for most vehicles.
Follow the directions that come with the adapter harness to temporarily
connect the power and speakers.
After you connect the adapter harness to your vehicle, you can skip to
"Testing the Connections" in Faxback Doc. # 47543.
REMOVING THE SHIPPING SCREW
The shipping screw helps protect the stereo's cassette player from being
damaged during shipment.
Before you mount the stereo, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the
screw, spacer, and rubber washer from the top of the stereo. This will
allow you to remove the mounting sleeve from the stereo when you mount it.
Note: Save the screw, spacer, and rubber washer, and replace them if you
ship the stereo. You can store them by taping them to the back of
the stereo.
MOUNTING THE STEREO
Once you verify that the stereo is connected properly, follow these steps
to mount the stereo.
1. Disconnect the cable from the vehicle's negative (-) battery terminal.
2. Disconnect the wiring harness and the antenna.
3. Press REL on the right side of the control panel to remove it (see
"Removing the control Panel" in Faxback Doc. # 47544).
