or negative) is grounded to the engine block or chassis. Most of today's automobiles
are negative ground.
2. Connect the RED wire of the DC power cord to the accessory contact in your
vehicle's +13.8 VDC fuse box.
3. Connect the
BLACKwire of the DC power cord to the negative side of the automobile
(usually the chassis).

Mounting the Radio Bracket
The design of the PRO501XLMounting Bracket
allows you to mount the radio in one of three angles for easy viewing of the front panel.
Note:
The speaker is located on the bottom of the radio. Be sure the mounting
location does not obstruct this area.
Note:
Mount the radio to the bracket only after the wiring has been connected to the
rear panel and the microphone hanger has been installed
1. First select an ideal location in yo~r vehicle to mount the PRO501XL. Make sure the
location will not interfere with your driving. In a passenger car, the ideal installation
is underneath the dashboard on the passenger side.
2. Remove the mounting bracket from the radio and use it as a template for marking
the location of the mounting screws. (Note: If there are screws already holding the
dashboard, you can use the same screw holes to mount the bracket in its place.)
3. Drill the necessary holes and secure the mounting bracket in place using the screws
provided.
