3. Setup and Installation

Before proceeding with installation, ensure the Jensen AWM965 stereo unit is powered off and disconnected from its power source to prevent electrical shock or damage.

3.1 Remote Control Battery Installation

The remote control typically comes with a pre-installed battery. If replacement is needed:

  1. Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
  2. Slide the battery cover open.
  3. Remove the old battery and insert a new CR2025 (or equivalent) battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
  4. Close the battery compartment securely.

3.2 Wiring Harness Connections

The Power/A-B-C Speakers Mating Pigtail and the C Speakers Mating Pigtail are designed for specific connections to the Jensen AWM965 stereo. Refer to the original AWM965 owner's manual for detailed wiring diagrams.

  • Power/A-B-C Speakers Pigtail: Connect this harness to the main power and speaker output port on the rear of the AWM965 unit. Ensure all wires are correctly matched for power (12V constant, 12V switched, ground) and speaker channels (A, B, C) to their respective terminals. Incorrect wiring can cause damage to the unit or speakers.
  • C Speakers Pigtail: If your setup utilizes additional 'C' speakers or requires a separate connection for them, connect this pigtail to the designated 'C' speaker output port on the AWM965. Observe correct polarity (+/-) for all speaker connections.

Important: Always double-check wiring connections before restoring power to the stereo unit. Consult a professional if you are unsure about any wiring procedures.

3.3 Trim Ring Installation

The trim ring is typically installed after the AWM965 stereo unit is mounted in its desired location. It snaps or slides into place around the front bezel of the stereo to provide a clean, finished look.

  1. Ensure the AWM965 unit is securely mounted.
  2. Align the trim ring with the edges of the stereo's front panel.
  3. Gently press the trim ring into place until it clicks or sits flush against the mounting surface.

3.4 Using M3 x 20mm PPH Tapping Screws

These screws are general-purpose fasteners. Use them as needed for securing mounting brackets, the stereo chassis, or other components as specified in the AWM965's main installation guide. Do not overtighten.

4. Operation (Remote Control)

The remote control provides wireless access to the primary functions of your Jensen AWM965 stereo. Point the remote directly at the infrared (IR) sensor on the stereo's front panel for optimal performance.

  • Power On/Off: Press the POWER button to turn the unit on or off.

  • Source Selection: Press the MODE or SOURCE button to cycle through available audio sources (e.g., AM/FM, CD, DVD, USB, AUX).
  • Track/Tune Selection: Use the SKIP or TUNE buttons to change radio stations, CD tracks, or USB files.
  • Mute: Press the MUTE button to temporarily silence the audio.
