Welcome

Thank you for your purchasing this AIWA product.

To optimize the performance of this unit, please read through this manual carefully.

In addition to this operating instructions manual, be sure to refer to the separate installation and connections manuals as well.

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.

Keep screwdrivers, etc. and other metallic or magnetic objects away from the playback head.

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.).

Notes on cassettes

Do NOT expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely high or cold temperature or moisture. Keep cassettes away from equipment with builtin magnets to avoid unwanted noise or loss of sound quality.

Do NOT touch the tape of a cassette, as any dirt or dust will contaminate the heads.

Be sure to remove any cassette from the unit if you are not using it.

NOTE

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

Connect the equipment into an outlet on circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

CAUTION

Modifications or adjustments to this product, which are not expressly approved by the manufacturer, may void the user’s right or authority to operate this product.

DETACHING AND ATTACHING THE FRONT PANEL

You can detach the front panel from the unit and carry it with you when you leave your car unattended.

When you carry the front panel out of your car, use the supplied carrying case.

Before detaching the front panel, remove the cassette to prevent possible damage to the unit.

1 Press and hold PWR for more than 2 seconds to turn the unit off.

2 While supporting the front panel with one hand, press % to release one side of the panel. Care must be taken not to drop the panel. It may suddenly become detached at this point.

3 When the front panel is lifted from the unit, remove it by pulling it away from the unit.

Do NOT touch the connector on the reverse side of the front panel, as doing so may contaminate the connector and cause poor connection, resulting in a malfunction.

Attaching the front panel

Security Lamp

When the front panel is detached, you can find an LED lamp on the front side of the unit. This lamp is designed to deter theft, and continues to flash when the front panel is detached. This unit is not equipped with any other security system, such as a security alarm, so there are limitations to its effectiveness.
