Mounting Using Iso Technique - Uniden BCD436HP User Manual

Mounting Using ISO Technique

Some vehicles can take advantage of another approach to mounting a radio in a
vehicle, called the ISO technique. However, this technique requires a very
detailed and thorough knowledge of the technique. Therefore, we strongly
suggest that if you have any doubt about your experience and abilities, please
consult with a professional installer who is familiar with the ISO approach to radio
installation.
To begin the process, it is first necessary to remove the scanners outer metal
sleeve from the inner chassis. Unthread the four screws in the rear of the unit.
Slide the cover toward the rear and off. Once the sleeve is removed, you will see
threaded, metric machine screw holes on either side of the chassis cabinet.
Uniden does not supply these screws. Their diameter, length, and screw type
should be chosen by a qualified installer based on the internal vehicle bracket
which will be used in securing the scanner chassis.
Once the original radio is removed from the vehicle dash and the fit of the
scanner is correct, be sure to connect all the power, audio, antenna, and any
other cables or wires, to the scanner before the scanner is secured.
The following illustration is a typical example of the ISO technique and the
general side mounting screw holes often encountered. It does not actually
represent the Uniden scanner or your vehicles mounting bracket. Only a
professional installer will be able to determine the best and correct approach.
