INSTALLATION  
This unit is designed for installation in vehicle cabs with an existing 1-DIN radio opening. In  
many cases, a special installation kit will be required to mount the radio to the dashboard. See  
the dealer where the radio was purchased for kit availability. Always check the kit application  
before purchasing to make sure the kit works with your vehicle.

Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected  
properly and the system works.  
Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of  
unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.  
Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other  
modifications to your vehicle.  
Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers during  
a sudden or emergency stop.  
If the installation angle exceeds 30º from horizontal, the unit might not give optimum  
performance.  
Avoid installing the unit where it will be subject to high temperatures from direct sunlight,  
hot air, or from a heater, or subject to excessive dust, dirt or vibration.  
Rubber Bushing  
Hex Nut (5mm)  
vehicle installations  
provide cavity for rear  
support. In these applications, place the rubber bushing over the screw stud and insert  
the radio.  
CAUTION: The perforated rear support strap or rear rubber mounting bushing must  
be used in the installation of the radio. Installation without either may result in  
damage to the radio or the mounting surface and void the manufacturer’s warranty.  
9. Test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.  
DIN Front Mount  
1. Slide the mounting sleeve off of the chas-  
sis if it has not already been removed. If it  
is locked into position, use the removal  
keys (supplied) to disengage it. The  
removal keys are depicted in “Removing  
the Unit” on page 3.  
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 easily  
slides into the opening. Do not force the  
sleeve into the opening or cause it to bend  
or bow. Check that there will be sufficient

Weather Band Operation  
What is the NOAA Weather Radio/Weatheradio Canada?  
This is a nationwide system that broadcasts local weather emergency information 24 hours a  
day. The U.S. network has more than 530 stations covering the 50 states as well as the  
adjacent costal waters, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and the U.S. Pacific Territories.  
Each local area has its own transmitting station and there are a total of seven broadcasting  
frequencies used. A similar system is available in Canada under the Weatheradio Canada  
service administered by Environment Canada.  
Tuning to Weatherband  
Press and hold the BAND/WB button (15) to access the Weatherband. The indication "WB"  
will appear on the display panel, along with the current number and channel indication:  
"CH01", CH02", "CH03", "CH04", "CH05", "CH06" or "CH07". Use the TUNE/SEEK >>| or |<<  
buttons (19, 18) to tune to each of the seven channels until you find the weatherband station  
broadcasting in your area.  
How many stations can I expect to receive?  
Since the broadcasts are local weather and information, the transmission power is usually very  
low (much less than standard AM or FM stations) so you will usually receive only one station  
unless you are on the edge of two or more broadcast signals. The most you will receive will be  
two or three, and that is rare.  
Is it possible I won't receive any stations?  
Depending on where you are located, there is a possibility you will receive only a very weak  
signal or none at all. Also, similar to AM and FM signals, weatherband signals are subject to  
surrounding conditions, weather, obstructions of the signal by hills or mountains, etc.  
NOAA Weather Alert  
The Weather Alert function adds an additional level of user safety by automatically switching  
from any of the available function modes (Tuner, SAT, iPod, AUX) to weather band for a  
minimum of 60 seconds if a NOAA warning tone (1050 Hz) is received/detected. If no  
additional warning tone is received for 60 seconds, the unit will switch back to the last known  
function mode. See “System Menu” on page 6 to learn how to turn the WB Alert feature on.

Ignition  
The most common source of noise in reception is the ignition system. This is a result of the  
radio being placed 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.

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.

Interference  
Radio reception in a moving environment is very different from reception in a stationary  
environment (home). It is very important to understand the difference.  
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 received at great  
distance. This is because broadcasting signals follow the curvature of the earth and are  
reflected back by the upper atmosphere.
