PRECAUTIONS

• Use only in a 12-volt DC negative-ground electrical
system.

• Disconnect the vehicle’s negative battery terminal
while mounting and connecting the unit.

• When replacing the fuse, be sure to use one with an
identical amperage rating. Using a fuse with a higher
amperage rating may cause serious damage to the
unit.

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

• When your vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight
resulting in a considerable rise in the temperature
inside, allow the unit to cool off before operating it.

• Keep the volume at a level at which you can hear
outside warning sounds (horns, sirens, etc.).

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.
