tion key. Use a test light or volt meter  
to locate a connection point at the  
fuse block.  
A. Release the rear support strap.  
B. Insert the keys provided into the  
slot on both sides of the chassis  
until locked. (snapped into place)  
Black Wire:  
Connect the black wire to the frame  
of the vehicle. It is strongly recom-  
mended that the black wire be con-  
nected to a part of the vehicles frame,  
floorboard or sub structure to insure  
a good ground. It is Not advisable to  
connect the black wire to a factory  
provided ground wire. It is possible  
that many other electrical items will  
be connected to this wire and electri-  
cal noises such as pops and clicks  
could be present in your speakers. In  
addition, shared grounds tend to  
amplify engine noise into the unit  
and you will hear the noise in your  
speakers.  
C. Pull on the keys with equal pres-  
sure to release and remove the  
unit from the mounting sleeve.  
D. Disconnect the wire harness and  
the antenna.  
Wiring:  
Note 1: If you are installing a com-  
pletely new system, install all of the  
speakers and antenna first, then run  
the wires up to the radio mounting  
location and bring them through the  
radio mounting hole.  
Note 2: Your new AM/ FM cassette  
unit has been designed to operate  
properly when connected to a “12  
Volt Negative Ground” electrical sys-  
tem. Any other power supply may not  
be acceptable. Connecting your new  
unit to other than the specified  
power source will damage the unit  
and will void the warranty. If you are  
not sure that your vehicle uses a “12  
Volt Negative Ground” electrical sys-  
tem, contact your local car stereo  
installation center and find out  
before making any connections.  
Orange Wire: (with fuse holder)  
Connect the orange wire to a con-  
stant source of 12 volts. The battery  
(+) post or the battery portion of the  
fuse block is a good location for this  
wire. Use a test light or volt meter to  
locate a connection point at the fuse  
block.

Installation Procedure  
Speaker Connections:  
Wiring Two Speakers:  
Green Wire:  
Connect the Green wire to the Left  
speaker “Positive” wire.  
Note: Every speaker has a positive (+)  
and a negative (-) connection termi-  
nal, therefore every speaker must  
have two wires connected to it. To  
properly connect the speaker system  
to your new AM/FM cassette unit,  
you must have a + and - wire coming  
from every speaker to connect to the  
unit.  
Green/Black Wire:  
Connect the Green/Black wire to  
the Left speaker “Negative” wire.  
Gray Wire:  
Connect the Gray wire to Right  
speaker “Positive” wire.  
If you are connecting 2 speakers, you  
should have 4 wires to connect. If you  
are connecting 4 speakers, you  
should have 8 wires to connect.  
Gray/Black Wire:  
Connect the Gray/Black wire to the  
Right speaker “Negative” wire.  
Warning !  
Wiring Four Speakers:  
1. Do Not Ground any speakers to the  
frame of the vehicle or to any  
other grounding system.  
(Fader Control Operational)  
Green Wire:  
Connect the Green wire to the Left  
Front speaker “Positive” wire.  
2. The fader control used in the  
M9850/M9860 radio can not be  
deleted. When connecting two  
speakers to the unit, use only the  
front set of wires provided in the  
harness. Insulate the remaining  
rear speaker wires provided in the  
harness. (Tape the wires)  
Green/Black Wire:  
Connect the Green/Black wire to  
Left Front speaker “Negative” wire.  
Green/Red Wire:  
Connect the Green/Red wire to the  
Left Rear speaker “Positive” wire.  
Black/Green Wire:  
Connect the Black/Green wire to the  
Left Rear speaker “Negative” wire.  
3. Do Not Connect the left front and  
left rear wires together for any rea-  
son. This will damage the unit.  
Gray Wire:  
Connect the Gray wire to Right  
Front speaker “Positive” wire.  
Gray/Black Wire:  
Connect the Gray/Black wire to the  
Right Front speaker “Negative” wire.  
Gray/Red Wire:  
Connect the Gray/Red wire to the  
Right Rear speaker “Positive” wire.

Cassette Operation  
Some Notes About Cassette Tapes  
How to Listen to a Tape  
* It is not recommended to use any 1. Turn the vehicles ignition key to  
tape with a length longer than 90  
minutes playing time. Longer tapes  
create excessive load on the tape  
motor and mechanism causing pre-  
mature wear and failures. Longer  
tapes have a tendency to tangle and  
jam automotive tape mechanisms.  
the ON or ACC position to provide  
power to the radio.  
2. Rotate knob (1) clockwise to turn  
on the unit. Adjust the volume  
knob (1) to a low listening level.  
3. Insert a cassette tape into the the  
cassette opening (10) with the  
thick side pointing toward the  
right  
* Cassette tape housings that are  
warped or that have loose indicator  
labels should not be used. Doing so  
will result in the tape becoming  
jammed in the mechanism.  
Note: The cassette tape will only fit  
in one direction. If the tape does  
not insert easily, DO NOT FORCE  
IT. Turn the tape over and re-  
insert it. At this time the display  
(9) will be showing the tape play  
indicators (9e)  
* Storing cassette tapes in areas  
directly exposed to sunlight or  
high temperatures will cause the  
cassette cases to warp rendering  
them unusable. Store cassette tapes  
in a case designed specifically for  
that purpose. This will prevent  
warpage and foreign material cont-  
amination.  
4. Adjust the volume, bass and treble  
controls to suit your taste.  
Changing the Tape Program  
Cassette tapes have two playing sides,  
side (A) and side (B). The cassette  
player in this unit will play either side  
of the tape. If you wish to change play  
from side (A) to side (B) or vise versa,  
press and release the FF and REW  
buttons at the same time. The tape  
play indicator (9E) will show the new  
direction and the tape will begin to  
play.  
Periodic Tape Mechanism Cleaning  
While the tape is playing, small  
deposits of foreign material attach  
themselves to the tape head, pinch  
rollers and capstans of the tape player  
mechanism. Failure to periodically  
clean the foreign material off will  
result in poor sound quality and a tape  
mechanism that will eatcassette  
tapes. To prevent this from happening,  
the use of a good quality wet typecas-  
sette head and capstan cleaner is rec-  
ommended every 10 hours of use.  
Note: If the tape is allowed to run to  
the end of the side that is playing , it  
will automatically change over to the  
remining side and play.  
FAILURE TO CLEAN THE TAPE  
DECK AT REASONABLE INTER-  
VALS WILL RESULT IN TAPE DECK  
SERVICE THAT IS NOT COVERED  
BY WARRANTY.
