PRECAUTIONS
• This unit is designed to be operated on a 12-volt
DC negative-ground electrical system only.
•To prevent short-circuiting, disconnect the
negative car battery terminal until the unit has
been mounted and connected completely.
•When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one
whose amperage rating is identical. Use of a
fuse of higher amperage may cause serious
damage to the unit.
• Do NOT attempt to disassemble this unit. Laser
rays from the optical pickup are dangerous to
the eyes.
• Make sure that pins or other foreign objects do
not get inside the unit; they may cause
malfunctioning, or a safety hazard such as
electrical shock or exposure of laser rays.
• When your car was parked in direct sunlight
resulting in a considerable rise in temperature
inside the car, allow the unit to cool off before
operating it.
• Keep the volume at such a level that you can
hear outside warning sounds (horns, sirens,
etc.).
