INSTALLATION
Before You Begin
- Before you begin, always disconnect the battery’s negative terminal.
Important Notes
- Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected properly and the system works.
- Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other modifications to your vehicle.
- Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers if there is a sudden or emergency stop.
Front Mount
- Use the included template to cut the installation opening.
- Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the radio into it. If the opening is not large enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the radio slides into the opening. Check that there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis.
- Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the opening.
- Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure to ensure proper operation.
- After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle accessory switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn the accessory switch off and proceed with the final mounting of the chassis.
- Carefully slide the radio into the opening, making sure it is right-side-up.
- Secure the radio to the dashboard using #6 panhead screws (not provided).
- Replace the covers on either side of the radio.
- Test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.
Reconnect Battery
- When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal.
- Bracket Mount
- The VOSHD4MNT (sold separately) is a versatile mounting base/bracket for easy installation on most flat surfaces. Please use the included M4 screws to attach the radio to the bracket, as shown in the diagram below.

About Bluetooth Technology
- Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio connectivity technology developed as a cable replacement for various electronic devices. Bluetooth operates in the 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits voice and data at speeds up to 1 megabit per second. Bluetooth was launched by a special interest group (SIG) comprised of Ericsson Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp., Toshiba, and IBM in 1998, and it is currently developed by nearly 2,000 companies worldwide. The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks is under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners.
Pairing a Bluetooth Device
Before you begin, consult the owner’s manual for the Bluetooth device you want to pair with the JHD40BT.
- Make sure the device is on and ready to receive a signal from the JHD40BT. With the JHD40BT in BT Audio mode, choose BT PAIR from the JHD40BT menu and press the INFO/ENTER button to select ON. The unit is waiting to connect to a mobile phone device. With the BT function of the mobile phone device turned on, search for a Bluetooth device.
- When the Bluetooth device has completed its search, the mobile phone will display the Bluetooth device name (JHD40BT).
- Select JHD40BT. The BT AUDIO icon ( ) on the radio LCD will display.
- Enter the pairing password (0000), if requested.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
- Keep the product dry. If it does get wet, wipe it dry immediately. Liquids might contain minerals that can corrode the electronic circuits.
