To ensure a proper water seal, the jackscrews on the radio

cable connector must be tight. If the accessory port on a
remote mounted radio is not used, the cover gasket
assembly (HLN6233_) must be installed and torqued to 6 to
C a u t i o n
8 inch-pounds.
DO NOT mount the radio on a plastic dashboard without first

reinforcing the dashboard; the weight of the radio may crack
or break the dashboard.

DO NOT mount the radio on a flat or concave surface where
the radio could be partially submersed in water. This is
especially important if the cab area of the vehicle is cleaned
by spraying with water. If the radio sits in water for a length
of time, moisture will seep inside the radio and damage the
electronic components.
DO NOT allow water to stand in recessed areas of vertically
mounted radios. Remove any moisture immediately to
prevent it from seeping down into the radio.
The mounting location must be accessible and visible. Select a location
that will permit routing the RF antenna cable as directly as possible. See
Figures 4 and 6 for typical dash mount radio installations.
NOTE:
For optimum radio performance, orient the mounting
trunnion as shown in Figures 4 and 6.
Use the radio's mounting trunnion as a template to mark the mounting hole
locations. Fasten the trunnion to the dash (or on the transmission hump)
using the self-drilling screws provided.
If a locking kit is used (shown in Figures 5 and 7) position the lock bottom
housing on the trunnion before installing the radio mounting screws. Then
slip the top lock housing on and remove the key. You can install the lock
on either side of the radio, and by rotating it 180°, you can also install it on
dash installations.
Complete the installation by mounting the radio in its trunnion, connecting
the speaker and power wires, and plugging in the microphone cable/
handheld control unit.
