Bendix/King T-12D - 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. | Have this insert installed by an avionics shop if you do not have all the proper tools, are not a qualified technician or are not sure you are capable of doing this job. |
| 2. | DO NOT remove the faceplate from the radio unless you are a fully qualified avionics repair person. |
| 3. | Remove the knobs and four screws that hold the faceplate on. The faceplate does not have to be pulled off. |
| 4. | Double check for the proper fit and alignment of the new faceplate. |
| 5. | The lower portion of the faceplate steps inward about .010". Remove the double face tape backing from the thin riser piece included with the faceplate insert. |
| 6. | Carefully attach the small riser piece. |
| 7. | Remove the double face tape backing of the remaining faceplate insert. |
| 8. | Attach the remaining piece of the T-12D faceplate insert. |
| 9. | Reinstall the screws and knobs onto the faceplate. |
| 10. | If needed attach the knob inserts that are included. |
| 11. | You can clean the frequency number by applying some rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner on a cotton swab and lightly rubbing the digits until clean. |
| 12. | Tell all your aircraft buddies about Aircraft Engravers and place the enclosed sticker on the metal case for future reference. |
