INSTALLATION

The unit can be installed horizontally, vertically or at a 45?? angle. The position of the built-in anti-vibration springs (lef t and right side), must correspond to the mounting position chosen. If the springs are not set correctly for the type of installation chosen, the anti-vibration compensation will not be effective and vibration may cause the disc to skip.

HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

Set the anti-vibration springs to position "H".

NOTE: Make sure anti-vibration springs are set to position "H".

2 Determine the mounting location, and drill four mounting holes.

NOTE: If mounting surface is carpeted, use caution when drilling holes to prevent drill bit from catching on carpet. Cut holes in carpet before drilling into sub-surface.

Never mount the unit near the fuel tank.

3 Secure the unit in place, using four large self-tapping Phillips head screws.

Use RTV (silicone sealer) on screw threads or around the holes to prevent moisture intrusion.

ADJUSTMENT OF FM MODULATOR OUTPUT FREQUENCY

lIf there is interference from a local station or a clear signal cannot be obtained on 89.1 MHz., change the position of the frequency select switch on the side of the FM Modulator and tune the radio to 88.7 MHz. when using the CD changer.

lSelect the frequency before mounting the FM Modulator.

lRadio sensitivity may be slightly reduced when the FM Modulator is connected.

ADJUSTMENT OF FM MODULATOR AUDIO LEVEL

The audio level from the modulator is factory-set to provide the correct volume balance between radio and CD changer in the majority of installations and usually will not require any adjustment. If, however, a large difference in volume level is noted when switching between CD changer and FM radio operation, the audio level from the CD changer may be adjusted as follows:

1.With the CD changer off, tune to an FM station and adjust the volume control on the radio to a normal listening level.

2.Leaving the volume control at the setting, turn on the CD changer and tune the radio to the modulator output frequency (89.1 or 88.7 MHz.).

3.Select a LOUD section of the CD. If the volume level is comparable to that of the FM station in step 1, no adjustment is necessary. If it is noticeably louder or more quiet than that of the radio station, use a # 0 Phillips screwdriver to adjust the "AUDIO LEVEL" control on the modulator so that the CD changer volume is comparable to that of the radio station.

IMPORTANT: If the modulator audio level is adjusted too high, it may result in unacceptable levels of distortion during loud sections of CD's. If set too low, it may result in poor signal/noise levels during CD changer operation.

VEHICLE WIRING

IMPORTANT - Some import cars use a special dual antenna ???Diversity" system. If your car has this type of antenna system, you will find the antenna cable will not fit the socket on the FM modulator. Use of the ACC-40 with ???Diversity" systems is not recommended. You may also find some GM cars and others have an antenna plug that is too small to mate with the socket on the FM modulator. If this is found, call Audiovox???s Toll-Free

Assistance for a special adaptor. This adaptor can also be purchased at most car stereo installation center.

+12V Accessory / Switched (ORANGE w/WHITE STRIPE)

Connect this wire to a terminal which is energized when the ignition switch is turned to the "ON" or "ACCESSORY" position.

+12V Constant (GREEN w/WHITE STRIPE)

Connect this wire to a terminal which is always energized.
