Before installing the unit, remove the protection collar ③ and the bracket ① from the unit.

1 Pinch both edges of the protection collar ③, then pull it out.

2 Insert both release keys ② until they click, and pull down the bracket ①, then pull up the unit to separate.

Mounting the unit in the dashboard

Before installing, make sure the catches on both sides of the bracket ① are bent inwards 2 mm (3/32 in).

1 Position the bracket ① inside the dashboard, then bend the claws outward for a tight fit.

2 Mount the unit onto the bracket ①, then attach the protection collar ③.

Notes

• If the catches are straight or bent outwards, the unit will not be installed securely and may spring out.
