Caution
When you install this unit in your car, do not remove
the Detachable Front Panel.
If the Detachable Front Panel is removed during
installation, you might press too hard and warp the
metal plate that holds it in place.
Caution
Do not block the unit's fan or heat sink, thus
preventing air circulation. If blocked, heat will
accumulate inside the unit and may cause a fire.

Slide the CDA-7878 into the dashboard. When the
unit is in place, make sure the locking pins are fully
seated in the down position. This can be done by
pressing firmly in on the unit while pushing the
locking pin down with a small screwdriver. This
ensures that the unit is properly locked and will not
accidentally come out from the dashboard. Install the
Detachable Front Panel.
Removal
1 Remove the DETACHABLE FRONT PANEL.
2 Use a small screwdriver (or similar tool) to push
the locking pins to the "up" position (see above
drawing). As each pin is unlocked, gently pull out
on the unit to make sure it does not re-lock before
unlocking the second pin.
3 Pull the unit out, keeping it unlocked as you do
so.
