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

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.
