Removing the Scanner from the DIN-E Sleeve If you plan to connect other devices or wires to the radio at a later time, you should plan to remove the scanner from the DIN-E sleeve. This is easily done using the provided Removal Keys that come with the optional DIN-E sleeve. Refer to the illustration that follows, showing the Removal Keys. Fully insert both Removal Keys into the slots on the left and the right edges of the radio's dress panel. You cannot remove the radio with only one key. Press in fully, and do not twist the keys. The radio will unlock from the sleeve, making withdrawal from the sleeve possible. Store the keys in a safe place for future use. Mounting Using ISO Technique Some vehicles can take advantage of another approach to mounting a radio in a vehicle, called the ISO technique. However, this technique requires a very detailed and thorough knowledge of the technique. Therefore, we strongly suggest that if you have any doubt about your experience and abilities, please consult with a professional installer who is familiar with the ISO approach to radio installation. To begin the process, it is first necessary to remove the scanner's outer metal sleeve from the inner chassis. Unthread the four screws in the rear of the unit. Slide the cover toward the rear and off. Once the sleeve is removed, you will see threaded, metric machine screw holes on either side of the chassis cabinet. Uniden does not supply these screws. Their diameter, length, and screw type should be chosen by a qualified installer based on the internal vehicle bracket which will be used in securing the scanner chassis. Once the original radio is removed from the vehicle dash and the fit of the scanner is correct, be sure to connect all the power, audio, antenna, and any other cables or wires, to the scanner before the scanner is secured. The following illustration is a typical example of the ISO technique and the general side mounting screw holes often encountered. It does not actually represent the Uniden scanner nor your vehicle's mounting bracket. Only a professional installer will be able to determine the best and correct approach. 23

Removing the Scanner from the DIN-E Sleeve
If you plan to connect other devices or wires to the radio at a later time, you
should plan to remove the scanner from the DIN-E sleeve. This is easily done
using the provided Removal Keys that come with the optional DIN-E sleeve.
Refer to the illustration that follows, showing the Removal Keys.
Fully insert both Removal Keys into the slots on the left and the right edges
of the radio’s dress panel. You cannot remove the radio with only one key.
Press in fully, and do not twist the keys. The radio will unlock from the sleeve,
making withdrawal from the sleeve possible. Store the keys in a safe place for
future use.
Mounting Using ISO Technique
Some vehicles can take advantage of another approach to mounting a radio
in a vehicle, called the ISO technique. However, this technique requires a very
detailed and thorough knowledge of the technique. Therefore, we strongly
suggest that if you have any doubt about your experience and abilities, please
consult with a professional installer who is familiar with the ISO approach to
radio installation.
To begin the process, it is first necessary to remove the scanner’s outer metal
sleeve from the inner chassis. Unthread the four screws in the rear of the
unit. Slide the cover toward the rear and off. Once the sleeve is removed, you
will see threaded, metric machine screw holes on either side of the chassis
cabinet. Uniden does not supply these screws. Their diameter, length, and
screw type should be chosen by a qualified installer based on the internal
vehicle bracket which will be used in securing the scanner chassis.
Once the original radio is removed from the vehicle dash and the fit of the
scanner is correct, be sure to connect all the power, audio, antenna, and any
other cables or wires, to the scanner before the scanner is secured.
The following illustration is a typical example of the ISO technique and the
general side mounting screw holes often encountered. It does not actually
represent the Uniden scanner nor your vehicle’s mounting bracket. Only a
professional installer will be able to determine the best and correct approach.
