Faceplate installation directions
Before you begin: Check to see if you
received the proper faceplate insert. Are the numbers the same
as your radio? Does it fit correctly? Although the holes and
text will be the same, many faceplate manufacturers made
different widths or heights of the same faceplate. (Just to make
life a little more interesting.)
1. Remove your faceplate from radio.
2. Sand off the top painted surface of the
old faceplate. This will provide necessary illumination of
text for replacement faceplate insert.
3. Remove the double-face tape backing
from the new insert.
4. Place the new insert onto the
faceplate. Press firmly. Reinstall faceplate on the radio.
5. If light bleeds out from the edges or
holes, carefully apply some black paint around these outer
edges. Use a Testor's black paint stick or similar brand
found in most hobby stores.
6. Re-install all the knobs onto the
radio.
7. Tell all your aircraft buddies about Aircraft Engravers and place the enclosed sticker on the metal case for future
reference.
