l This unit cannot be installed on its side, end, or upside down. Installation in such positions will cause malfunctioning

of the mechanism.

Installation and Wiring Precautions

To prevent a short-circuit,

l Be sure to turn off the ignition and remove the negative (-) battery cable, prior to installation.

l Connect power wires last.

BEFORE INSTALLING THE UNIT

Transport Lock Screws

The mechanism in the CD changer is "locked" into place during shipment by the 4

transport screws. Be sure to remove the screws prior to installation.

Retain these screws for future use when transporting the unit for service/maintenance.

After removing the transport lock screws, place the supplied seals over the screw

holes. These seals are used to keep dust out of the unit, which could cause a

malfunction.

l Caution l

Note

If the changer is to be installed in a car that is equipped with an on-board drive or navigation computer, do not disconnect

the battery cable. If the cable is disconnected, the computer memory may be lost. Under these conditions, use extra

caution during installation, not to cause a short circuit.

Do not install the unit in the following locations.

l Locations exposed to direct sunlight.

l Where hot air is discharged from the car heater.

l In areas subject to extreme temperatures.

Incorrect installation can cause the sound to "skip" when playing a disc.

Mount the unit firmly in place, using the supplied brackets and screws.

Be careful not to damage the car wiring.

l Be sure to use the supplied screws.

l Be careful not to snag any wires when tightening screws.

l Do not use any of the screws that are part of the brake or steering system, to install the unit.

Drill holes 1/8" (4mm) in diameter.

PROCEDURE FOR HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION

Bracket

Attach a mounting bracket to each side of the unit, using the

4 hex head bolts with washer base.

Determine the mounting location, and drill four mounting

holes.

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.

INSTALLATION

Self-tapping Phillips head screw

(large)

Never mount the unit near the fuel tank.

The unit can be installed horizontally, vertically or at a 45° angle. The position of the built-in anti-vibration springs (left 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.

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.

ADJUSTMENT OF FM MODULATOR OUTPUT FREQUENCY

l If 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.

l Select the frequency before mounting the FM Modulator.

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

IMPORTANT IMPORTANT

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.
