					2. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the mounting sleeve into it. If the opening is   
					not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the sleeve slides easily into the   
					opening. Do not force the sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend or bow. Check that   
					there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis. Connect wires   
					prior to actually installing the sleeve. Pigtail wiring should take place after hole size is   
					confirmed. Mount sleeve after wiring.   
					4. Attach the support strap to the radio and dashboard as described above.   
					5. Replace the dashboard trim panel.   
					3. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections of the wiring harness   
					are properly secured and insulated to insure proper operation of this unit. After completing   
					the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (ignition switch must be “on”).   
					If unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the problem is corrected. Once proper   
					operation is achieved, turn off ignition switch and proceed with final mounting of the   
					chassis.   
					4. Locate the series of bend tabs along the top, bottom, and sides of the mounting sleeve.

					Symptom   
					Cause   
					Solution   
					• 
					• 
					Keep the product away from dust and dirt, which can cause premature wear of parts.   
					Handle the product gently and carefully. Dropping it can damage circuit boards and   
					cases, and can cause the product to work improperly.   
					Wipe the product with a dampened cloth occasionally to keep it looking new. Do not use   
					harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the product.   
					Use and store the product only in normal temperature environments. High temperature   
					can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and distort or melt plastic   
					parts.   
					No power   
					The vehicle’s accessory

					The most common source of noise in reception is the ignition system. This is a result of the   
					radio being placed too close to the ignition system (engine). This type of noise can be easily   
					detected because it will vary in intensity of pitch with the speed of the engine.   
					Compact disc is extremely   
					dirty or disc is defective   
					Clean the disc or try to play a new   
					one.   
					Condensation   
					Leave the player off for an hour or   
					so, then try again.   
					Usually, the ignition noise can be suppressed considerably by using a radio suppression type   
					high voltage ignition wire and suppressor resistor in the ignition system. (Most vehicles employ   
					this wire and resistor but it may be necessary to check them for correct operation.) Another   
					method of suppression is the use of additional noise suppressors. These can be obtained from   
					most professional mobile electronics retailers.

					The built-in microcomputer   
					is not operating properly

					Press the RESET button.   
					AM reception will deteriorate when passing under a bridge or when passing under high voltage   
					lines. Although AM is subject to environmental noise, it has the ability to be received at great   
					distance. This is because broadcasting signals follow the curvature of the earth and are   
					reflected back by the upper atmosphere.
