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.

STEERING-WHEEL­MOUNTED REMOTE CONTROL UNIT
Precautions
• When the infrared receptor on the main unit is exposed to direct sunlight, it may not respond to signals from the remote control unit.
• While driving, keep your eyes on the road as you operate the remote control unit. NEVER operate the remote control unit while turning.
• Do NOT install the remote control unit where it may hinder the function of any safety device, such as an air bag.
• Be sure to install the remote control unit securely on the steering wheel. Unstable installation may interfere with operation of the vehicle.
• Do NOT install the remote control unit where it will obstruct your view of the instrument panel.
• Be sure to install the remote control unit on the side of the steering wheel closer to the main unit. If you install the remote control unit on the opposite side from the main unit, the infrared signal may not reach the main unit’s receptor, disabling remote operation.
• There may be cases in which the infrared signal does not reach the infrared receptor on the main unit, depending on the installation location.
• Do NOT install the remote control unit on the outer rim of the steering wheel. Doing so may hinder steering and cause a traffic accident. Be sure to install the remote control unit on the inner rim of the steering wheel.
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.
