Wiring  
Complete wiring as illustrated in the wiring diagram on page  
3. Once the wiring is complete, reconnect the battery  
negative terminal. If there is no ACC available, connect the  
ACC lead to the power supply with a switch.

NOTE: When replacing a fuse, be sure to use correct  
type and amperage to avoid damaging the radio. The  
UV8 uses one 10 amp mini-ATM fuse, located in the black  
filter box in-line with the main wire harness.

Final Installation  
Final ISO-DIN Installation  
1. Remove trim ring.  
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 problem is corrected. Once  
proper operation is achieved, turn off the ignition switch and  
proceed with final mounting of the chassis.  
2. Install the half-sleeve.  
a. Install adapter if necessary (optional).  
2. Mount factory brackets on new radio using existing  
screws from old radio.  
b. Install half-sleeve into adapter or dashboard (use  
only the supplied screws). Do not force the sleeve  
into the opening or cause it to bend or bow.  
c. Locate the series of bend-tabs along the top,  
bottom and sides of the mounting sleeve. With the  
sleeve fully inserted into the dashboard opening,  
bend as many of the tabs outward as necessary so  
that the sleeve is firmly secured to the dashboard.  
d. Install support strap to make the unit more stable.  
3. Slide radio chassis into dash opening and secure.  
4. Reinstall dash panel.  
1. Connect wiring adapter to existing wiring harness.  
2. Connect antenna lead.  
3. Carefully slide the radio into the half-sleeve, making  
sure it is right-side-up, until it is fully seated and the  
spring clips lock it into place.  
FINAL ISO-DIN INSTALLATION

music navigation. Select the "Disc at Once" option and  
close your disc.

1. Use only a clean silicone cloth and neutral detergent to  
clean the front panel or monitor. A rough cloth and non-  
neutral detergent (such as alcohol) may result in  
scratching or discoloration.  
2. Do not get water or cleaning fluids on the unit.  
3. If the temperature inside the player gets too hot, a  
protective circuit automatically stops play of the disc. If  
this occurs, allow the unit to cool before operating the

7. When the vehicle warms up during cold weather or  
under damp conditions, condensation may appear on  
the LCD panel. Should this occur, the screen will not  
operate properly until the moisture has evaporated.  
8. We suggest you use a cleaning disc in this unit more  
frequently than in the unit in your home due to the  
environmental conditions of the vehicle.
