12.4 POST INSTALLATION INSPECTION
Perform a functional and visual vehicle inspection to ensure that the installation meets the workmanship
requirements set out in this manual and other owner/product manuals:
The items to be checked are detailed on the Installation Checklist. All items are to be checked, and the
results indicated on the checklist, or indicated as “n/a” or “not applicable.” Record clearly any items that
are non-functional, and any servicing that must be completed before approving the installation. Bring these
to the attention of the authorized customer representative.
Double-check the following items before considering the installation completed:
Verify all newly installed mechanical hardware is mounted securely and all respective mounting
hardware is tight.
Verify all electrical interconnections are connected properly and the associated connector attachment
hardware is tight. Pay special attention to all RF antenna cables!
Verify all related fuses are correctly installed and properly rated.
Verify all electrical cables and wiring are tied, stowed, and protected so they are out of the way of
casual contact, away from sources of extreme heat, and wire chafing cannot occur. Pay special attention
to all RF antenna cables!
Verify waterproof caps are installed on all unused connectors.
To prevent fumes from entering the vehicle’s passenger compartment, seal the hole/grommet/wire
combination at the firewall with a silicon-based sealer.
Verify all vehicle components; such as kick panels, headliners, and seats are properly reinstalled.
If the installation includes a separately-mounted on/off power switch for manually turning the radio
(and possibly other systems) on and off, verify it is labelled accordingly. For example: “Radio
ON/OFF.”
Remove all tools and unused hardware from the vehicle.
If necessary, clean the radio equipment (i.e., radio, Control Head, microphone, speaker) using one of
the procedures presented in Section 13.
Verify all equipment is protected from exposure to harsh environments.
Verify the test performance data has been recorded on the Installation Checklist.
